!אני מדבר (קצת) עברית עכשו September 4, 2006

For those of you who cannot read that, I just said “I speak (a little) Hebrew now!” in Hebrew.

I went to an ulpan (Hebrew-learning course) today. I LOVE IT!! The place is called “Ulpan Or”, and the lesson was one-on-one, a very good way of learning, in my opinion. I had alot of fun, and will continue going there for 2 weeks.

In this one class, I really realized how much Hebrew I already know. It’s surprising, how much simply was stored away in the back of my head; I never thought I had been taught that much.

As it turns out, Avi Naor SMSed (text messaged) me while I was on the bus to my class, asking if I could have the appointment today… talk about bad timing. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get an appointment this week.

Another misunderstanding… September 3, 2006

So… I went into downtown Jerusalem today, early in the morning, because I was under the impression that my meeting from Thursday had been moved to today.

WRONG!

Apparently, Avi Naor simply meant that today or tomorrow, he’d reschedule my appointment. I’m sorry, but I’m a fairly intelligent guy, and THAT’s not what I heard him say.

Anyway, so I wandered around downtown Jerusalem for a while, while I waited for someone to call me back. Someone I had been in contact with had some old IDF uniforms that were not in use, and since I’m going into the IDF soon, he was giving them to me. Eventually, he called me back, and I took a bus/walked to his house. Very nice people, they’re British; and they told me if I ever need a place, to just give them a call.

All in all, today was another relatively useless day. I could have done so much more today; but then again, chances that I’d actually DO anything are slim.
