Chag Sameach (almost!)

Sorry I haven't written in a while. There isn't SO much going on now that I need to write every day, so I just let a bunch of time go by and then write it all at once. I'll start with last week:

Monday 3/30:
Regular Gan- last day of Gan before Pesach vacation

Tuesday 3/31:
Yom Nativ: Yom Water
We started off the day davening and having some discussions about water in Israel (or the lack thereof) down by the Yerucham lake. Then we got on a bus, drove past a water processing plant in Dimona, ate lunch on the bus, and went to the beach in Ashkelon. It was a beautiful and really fun day!!

Wednesday 4/1: APRIL FOOL'S DAY
My apartment pranked one of the boys apartments and it was silly. We took all of their shoelaces out of their shoes, tied forks and spoons to the ends and hung them from the curtain rod. We put all of their pillows and blankets on one bed and switched some of their drawers around. The other boys apartment also put a dead rat in their freezer. They were very mad, and I had to re-lace all of their shoes. I also had to volunteer this day. It was kind of like JRA. We packaged fruits and vegetables and then delivered them to needy people all over Yerucham. It was fun.

Thursday 4/2:
I don't even remember. Sorry.

Friday/Saturday 4/3-4:
Went to Be'er Sheva for Shabbat to visit some other Nativers. It was really, really nice. We ate and slept and watched movies and did yoga. It was relaxing and fun.

Sunday 4/5:
Spent the day around Yerucham doing nothing, then at 5:30 I helped clean Afikim, the synagogue near our apartments. It was fun but I got really wet because we had to clean the windows and floors.

Monday 4/6:
Volunteered. They told us we were gardening. It was actually manual labor: weed whacking. It was fun though because I was with a bunch of friends.

TODAY!:
Yom Nativ. We finished cleaning and making our apartments Kosher for Passover. Then we did an activity where each apartment had to make their own creative seder plate and write a song about Passover. They were funny. Then I went and hung out in Be'er Sheva for a few hours, and now I'm back!!


Chag Sameach tomorrow!!
