Moscow it is then. I'll do some sight seeing, relatives visiting, cooling (it's still over 30C) and not being in Israel. I'm hoping to save up money during the year and go somewhere else in the summer, a new place. Possibly Italy or even England. Both are relevant to my interests. Oh and fun ( Read more... )

My mom has been sick for the past week. First it was pneumonia and now it's back pain. I'm worried about her of course, and I'm doing what I can to help, but she's driving me insane! She's here all the time. I'm attempting the course thing again (started last week), so I need to do alot of studying and she keeps distracting me to ask to eat ( Read more... )

Our guests are leaving in a few hours. I wonder what will happen after that. The anticipation of the visit was kindda what was driving me these past few months.

Off course in the time honored tradition I must get sick sometime before my birthday. We've hit the beginning of the rainy season and I have 7 new babies.

Well, that was nice. Sauna, jacuzi, sea water baths mmmm ( Read more... )

I is off to Jerusalem tomorrow with my cousin. We shall be visiting the christian sites. Going there again on monday to see the jewish sites. I've seen it all before, but it can be nice. The churches and cathedrals are pretty. And on monday we'll be at the wailing wall. People stuff notes in there. Supposed to be a hotline to God. Any messages?

My aunt and my cousin are coming tomorrow! *dances around*

There shall be food and drink and trips to the sea and all manner of good things. We'll also be going on exursions around the country a bit, which I haven't done in a while. So, me excited.
