Laila Tov (Goodnight)

It's midnight here in Bat Yam, and I got nothing to do tomorrow! I got the day off because it's the Tuesday Siyur and I decided against going. It's a trip in Jerusalem that I'll be able to do when i'm living there in the winter, but I've heard great things about it. After the gym on friday we had a shabbat dinner at our place that was delish ( pictures are on the way). A lot of people left for the weekend; the tzofim went home and others went to Jerusalem. Between the leftovers we got from the barbecue (SCORE) and the leftovers from the shabbat dinner (HE SCORES AGAIN), Mike, Jeremy and I ate like kings over the weekend.
I'm sad to report some pretty scary events have transpired in the past couple days though. A kid in my section got beaten up pretty bad by an Israeli, and another kid he was with got knocked out by the same guy. It's left some kids really shaken. Personally, I always travel with a bunch of kids ( fairly robust fellows I might add) so I'm not too worried for my own safety. A little less then an hour ago, a supposed terrorist in a car drove into and injured 15 people in Jerusalem, one of which was critically injured. I haven't really had time to digest this, and frankly we're not sure if it was a terrorist. More will have developed by the morning.
A lot of people have been getting sick as of late, and I to have been getting some stomach pains. I sat out my volunteering today, but cheered on the kids from the sidelines and helped out with some drills. Ulpan is going well; I think I've figured out what I need to do involving my hebrew studies. Basically, I need to take initiative to learn basic phrases outside of Ulpan, because they're not going to teach us that. What they teach us though is absolutely necessary. I definately overlooked a lot of aspects it takes to learn a language, and Hebrew is no easy ride. So ima keep workin hard at it, and hopefully by the time I get to Jerusalem in December I'll have a good platform to work with.
I just talked to Cody P on the phone a little bit ago, really made my night. What a guy. To all my friends reading this: When I call you, it shows up as Unavailable. I know 99% of you never pick up these calls, but for the next 8 months please make an exception ( that means you too Cheeze). Keep On Keepin On. Laila Tov (ל'לה טוב)
