Trying Something New

In an attempt to keep up with this more I'm taking a new direction. Instead of procrastinating and procrastinating and finally just slurring out a big entry that takes probably a weekend to read. I will now be posting(hopefully) at least once every other day. With these smaller and more "busy-life" friendly posts.
Along with this concept, I will be concluding every post with the news articles I have read that day and my personal feed back on them. I have started reading a lot more news while I have been leaving here. I hope this habit stays with me for my life.

So......
Classes are good as always. Midterms sucked.....as always.

Last weekend I first went to Kfar Saba. There I saw my cousins again. It is always good to see them and leave with a full belly. The same night I went and hung out with my Tzofim friend Shir and my other friend Marcie. We went and watched the Maccabi Tel Aviv game at Shir's friend's apartment. The game was bad, but meeting new people and hanging out with friends is always good.
After Kfar Saba I hopped on a bus to Haifa to meet some friends. We spent Friday and Saturday there. We went and saw the Bahai Gardens (a whole tour), which was awesome. We also went did a hike from the top of the city to the beach. It runs along a dried, more like damp, river bed. Its really lush and beautiful, right in the middle of the city.

(sorry for no pictures, my camera broke! I have to go back and get it fixed in Tel Aviv)

This weekend I got really sick. It was horrible. Some awful stomach virus. I'm happy its pretty much over. I spent most of the two and half days in bed :(

Here goes the new idea:
Gaza children back to school amid cease-fire
Found this article on the front page of Yahoo. I think its a little whack...
"The onslaught killed ......" I was not aware of an "onslaught", were you? I'll admit the situation was not ideal, and in some ways, things were not handled the best. But the use of that word was not correct.
"Many children were still afraid of going to school on Saturday, fearing renewed shelling." HELLO?! The article failed to mention that the same thing has been going on for eight years in Sderot and other cities in the Western Negev. Children in Sderot have been given traquilizers to calm there nerves.
Barak wants legal support, aid for IDF
It's a war. Things happen. I don't like it. No one does. It is still war.

That's it for now....
