Aaand I'm back! Don't have internet in the apartment yet, so fewer opportunities to blog. But I'll keep trying to stay on top of it, especially since orientation starts tomorrow and classes start on Monday, which will be huge time consumption. It's going to be a hell of a year, with an 9am-6:15pm class schedule most days. And for the next month, I will be taking ulpan (Hebrew class) in the mornings instead of classes at the Yeshiva, which means I'll be starting each day an hour earlier even than that. And I can't wait for everything to get started.

This Hebrew class especially is going to be great. It's four hours per day with students and a teacher who are really serious about it. My class over the summer was nice but I hope, and suspect, that this one will actually put me on the path to being able to communicate. I never expected to become fluent this year, but I would like to be able to get around the city and country better than I can now. Each day I learn a tiny bit, but this Hebrew class should help a lot to move forward more quickly.

I know that's not much interesting information, but I sense I might be repeating that a lot over the next few weeks, so I figured I'd just put it out there. I've been been thinking often that I should write about food, as food is awesome, and it's such a big part of our lives here, so look out for some food-related blogging this week.
