The Blazers beat the Heat

Thank god. Although I did short change the Heat in my rankings, so I'll make sure to fix that in the next one. Thursday was uneventful. Ulpan in the morning, and the rest of the day was a big buildup for the arcade/club party. A lot of people had a good time; I wasn't one of them. The whole process of buying drinks with tokens you won was pretty misleading. You had to win an insane amount of tickets for one drink, so that part was a bummer. I would have been content on just playing the games then leaving, but the only buses that came back were at 3,4 and 5 in the morning. Not a big deal though. Friday my cousin Jerry arrived in Israel, and some of the family got together for a nice dinner. I relaxed when I got home and just played guitar. In the morning I got picked up for another family meal, this time Leot, Aviv and the kiddies came. We had lunch, looked at pictures from my cousin Gabe's (Jerry's son) wedding last June, and I went to the nearby playground and messed around with the kids. Now I'm at home and I believe I'm going to a bar soon with all my roommates. This upcoming week is a chilling and packing week. No volunteering, and we're not even allowed to stay in our apartments over the weekend because they're doing inspection. I reserved a room at the hostel in Jerusalem, where I'm sure a ton of kids from other sections are staying.
At a more opportune time I'll write a more reflective piece on this trip. I'm a third of the way done, and it's hard to say whether it's gone by fast or not. I feel as if it has, but I know that I'm not going home for awhile. Anyway, that's talk for a different post at a later time.
Much Love
Jakey
