Shoudn't have procrastinated

It's 1:30 in the morning, and the only reason I'm up is I'm waiting for my laundry to finish. I have to wake up in six hours to back to my Army base for one more week of volunteering. It's cool stuff....... I guess. The work is extremely boring. There's not many soldiers on base, it's mostly citizens of Israel. I spent the week taking trash and separating it in to Plastic, cardboard, rubber and metal for recycling. It's cool hanging out with my Marva people and anticipate the actual training. We get wicked uniforms too; soon enough I'll post some videos and pictures Benny took. On Friday my mom comes to visit me!!!!!!! I couldn't be more stoked. I have a ten day brake with her to just hang out and visit family. My cousins Ilana and Josh are also visiting and arriving mere hours after my mom does. It's hard to contain my excitement, but I'm doing a pretty good job thusfar. Last thursday night was a huge party that lasted pretty late in to the night. Friday I hung out at the hostel, went to the mall with Mike, Jeremy (they visited because Mike's brother was in Jerusalem, and to see us) and Benny, and later that night I went to the apartments again to hang out with Samo and Josh. Samo is in Jerusalem for the week taking classes for his Israel Experience called Mada, which is basically emergency hospital work, a very popular option. It was two of Josh's roommates birthdays on Saturday, Iggy and Michael, so we celebrated at midnight. Josh and I stayed up, watched Green Street Hooligans, and then half the blazer game before falling asleep. I have to go get the laundry, I'll update soon though
