Since all the cool people are doing it:

What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
Travel on my own: both my first unaccompanied airplane ride and my first unaccompanied stay in a city (two days in Berlin).

Did you keep your new year's resolutions and will you make more next year?
I didn't exactly keep my resolutions for last year - I ( Read more... )

I heard this song again today. It's actually from a year and a half ago, and I almost certainly heard it the week it was written, but I just got a new MP3 player and heard a bunch of stuff again ( Read more... )

Followup to thisI'm on my second degree, finally. CS at the Weizmann Institute. Of course, I don't yet know what I want or how I'm going to get it, but it looks further away than I could ever imagine. That's OK - the fact that I know that proves I've been making progress towards finding out just what it is I want ( Read more... )

It's the funniest thing: I remember that I was slightly sick last night; I even emailed nurint about it when she asked how I was. But, here's the thing: I don't remember actually being sick.

Went to my parents' place, my brother gave me some suitcases for the move to Rehovot. I'm walking from their house to mine with three suitcases, and a lady asks "את צריכה עזרה?" before she notices and corrects herself to "אתה".

My answer: תודה, אבל אני מסתדר... או מסתדרת

I wish I could say that after the second performance I went home and slept for a month. Unfortunately, I had to go to the university first thing Wednesday morning to hand in my students' grades. I also gave back the keys I had, and then I went to work. On my way to work I suddenly got lost in thought and didn't realize what bus I was on, but that's ( Read more... )

So, we had a performance last Sunday. The idea was to get in front of a small crowd that included five judges, sing four songs, and get points/criticism later.

The week started on Saturday morning, when we had a last-minute rehearsal. I got a rare opportunity to see what 9AM on a Saturday looks like. Since Jeanne had two groups in the festival, we ( Read more... )

So, I'm dreaming about my father, and he's telling me how he was stopped at border control somewhere and had to show all of his memory cards. He was at the limit of the number of things he could show, so he was lucky the actual bit of electronics that reads the cards (digital camera, probably) was in my mom's luggage and not his ( Read more... )

My current Facebook status is "Roie is considering using Facebook more often... it'll pass". But I decided to take a look at my facebook requests that I've been ignoring, and stop ignoring them just long enough to press the "Ignore" button. Two gems I saw: One friend whose name I won't give here invited me to some birthday reminder application. ( Read more... )

Sunday @ Rehovot. Got the key to my dorm room. It's not much, just a room with two beds (yes, I have a roommate), and the shower is shared with another two guys from the room next door. I don't know anyone there yet either ( Read more... )
