So I caught a little heat from Momma Levy about my blog tardiness. I hadn't realized it had been nearly a week! Tuesday we had our flag football games. Things are never going to be as competitive as Id like, so I didn't think much of it. I just go out and do my thing, and hopefully we come out on the winning side. Both games I had the ball near my goal-line with a minute left and the score tied. Both times we drove down the field and scored, but we only came up with one victory. Oh well.

Wednesday we had a field trip to a town called Zichron-Yacov and then a kibbutz after. Zichron-Yacov was one of the first zionist settlements in Israel, so we visited a museum that wasn't that great. The siyyur was like everyother one: We spend more time in the bus than whatever we're doing outside the bus.
Thursday was a another siyyur to Tel-Aviv that I didn't go on. Mike had a basketball game late that night thats part of a College league, so I went to watch & support. He played incredible! They lost the game because they got killed on the boards and the defense was pretty bad, but Mike played amazing. Hopefully I'll get a chance to play with them sometime. Later that night was a party my friends threw at a place called the Ocean Club. It was fun I guess; I was fairly tired and not in a party mood. I got to hang out with one of Mike's friends from back home he called Schiff, who was a very cool guy. The next morning, Mike, Eli and I hopped on a bus to Holon to meet up with the scouts. We stayed with Ithai, who was Eli's scout in Holon and a good friend of mine. Friday night was uneventful, just hung out and talked. Saturday I met up with the Pergamits! We caught up on this and that and went out for Sushi. They brought over some necessities from Oregon for me (Old Navy sweats and a HackySack, very clutch). I ended up staying in Holon that night, went to a party in Tel Aviv, went to bed at 3:30, woke up at 5:30 and caught a bus just in time for Ulpan ( a little early actually). Rough Stuff.

So I leave for Amsterdam early Tuesday! I had a little scare today. My mom had told me how she was worried because I don't have an Israeli passport. I have dual-citizenship in Israel ( don't ask me how, I don't have a clue), so she was worried I would a) not be allowed to leave the country b) not be allowed back in. The person I needed to talk to in the office wasn't available, but other staff members around the office were telling me that I wouldn't be allowed to leave. I was surprisingly calm, because I couldn't imagine this actually becoming a problem. The fact I have dual-citizenship is outrageous, and if that were the reason for me not being able to leave, I feel like it could be fixed. Anyway, we got a hold of the lady we needed, and she reassured me everything was ok and taken care of. Mike also leaves to go home on Tuesday, and Jeremy's parents are coming to visit him tomorrow. Pretty exciting developments; a lot of kids have already left and gone home.
