*** 12th ***

i spent my day on campus, in boring classes, or doing homework.

i got home at 19.30, had supper, a shower, and then went with her to gedera, where we watched ten things i hate about you. she's living in a far more stylish apartment than ours, which is kinda funny considering that they're living in a total crap-hole, and i found the couches so comfortable, it was a real mission to go to bed.

*** yesterday ***

we got up at 07.15, and after a quick cup of tea, i got on the israeli equivalent of a black taxi to the train station, where i made it just in time. from the next train station i took a bus to the student authority in tel aviv, where there were tons of russians and ethiopians, and a couple of argentinians, waiting their turn.

they've been on strike for three months, and they're not working that much harder now...

i waited about three hours, with some reading, and skipping out at one point for a falafel breakfast.

eventually, an ex-brazilian woman took pity on me, and my lack of hebrew proficiency, and helped me out. i spent the afternoon grinning, after she said to me: "if you weren't so cute, i wouldn't help you out like this".
sweet.

i went to work, and it took me two and a half hours to clear my email, and to fail completely in finding a replacement for work (which is why i'm here now).

i bussed home, did a load of washing, slept, and bussed back to work,

*** today ***

where we've just started.
