Bout to go to bed

I'm exhausted so ima be brief. Monday I had ulpan and went to a Maccabi Tel Aviv Basketball game. Maccabi has Carlos Arroyo, former NBA point guard, who leads their squad, and the opposing team, Netanya, had former Ohio State star Ron Lewis as their leader. It was a quality game, but had a ton of BS fouls which slowed the game down. Afterwards I went out for Sushi for my friend Sammys birthday, which was scrumptous. I've realized my love of Sushi in Israel, go figure. Tuesday I had an Orientation for Jerusalem. I chose my classes and found out my typical schedule which was exciting. I take Hebrew classes five days a week, Jewish Text three days a week I believe, and I have an elective class that's an indepth look at the Israeli-Arab conflict. Oh and I have Israeli Dancing once a week. Some exciting developments: I potentially may be going to Amsterdam for winter break. It's a long shot that's still in the works.
Today we went to a waterpark in Holon. We had to wait an hour and a half before it opened which sucked, but the slides we got to go on were awesome. There's a funny story to be told..... I'll write it in depth sometime soon. Tomorrow night is a big going away party/ 5 way birthday party at a unique place in Netanya. It's a club/arcade. With the arcade tickets you win, you can purchase drinks. It's going to be a massive party, so I'm pretty stoked on that. My cousin Jerry is coming in to Israel on Friday so the fam will be getting together for some meals this weekend. Basically, I have a lot to look forward to. I got to talk to Susan from the Y today which was awesome; I owed her a call a long time ago. Next up is that Rich fella. Anyway, I gotsta go to bed. Tomorrow I have to be at the gym at 7 in the morn. Oden returns to the blazers tonight versus the Heat. If the Heat win, I'll never hear the end of it from Mike.
