יום רישון

Last night, Simon, Ephy and I went to eat at Japanika and then I had a hot chocolate from Aroma--it is the first and last time I'll get anything from there.  It tasted like nothing more than warm milk the whole time, and, when I got to the bottom, there were just globs of chocolate syrup sitting there.  Ugh.  As we sat drinking our things near the beach, a man came up to us and asked us for money for food with a lit cigarette in his hand.  I really felt like telling him that he should've spent his money on food and not cigarettes if he cared, but the three of us just kept telling him we had no money.  The more we said this, the less crazy he acted, until he walked over to two guys he had been talking to before and acted totally normal.  People are so ridiculous.

I didn't end up hanging out with Tom last night; by the time I was finally free and called him, he was far too tired.  We need to make sure to hang out sometime soon, before I leave Bat Yam.  When I got home, I went for a brief run, and then worked on my David Project project over at Tani's apartment  until I finished it, then headed home.  This morning I woke up at about 11 and Nathan and I worked on our project for Arab Israeli Conflict before heading to a Garin Tzedek meeting and class (but not before getting delicious ten-shekel falafel near the office).  Then we had classes as usual, and then Cera and I went to the Mohammed house and played Bingo with the kids.  She got a chance to work some with the mom, which was pretty exciting.  Afterwards, we went to the Tel Aviv port to look for a records place Cera said she saw yesterday, but it disappeared...I am beginning to suspect that no records stores actually exist in Tel Aviv.

When we got home, I went for a run, and Nathan and I once again worked on our project.  Today was not very exciting, as days go, possibly largely because I had a slight drone of a headache in the back of my head the entire day.  Anyway, I hope you are enjoying yourself, wherever you may be--take it easy, friends!
