I started writing about something that scared the hell out of me earlier this evening, then realized I was scaring myself all over again which is pointless.
Instead, I could sleep.
Is it weird I can't?
Apparently life does not suck!
I'm going to London this Tuesday!! and I'm going to the Shins concert on Wedensday!!
OMG I'M SO HAPPY!!
I'll be staying at Palmers Lodge hostel, which according to a friend of mine suppose to be a great hostel with lots of friendly people.. which will be awesome since I'll be there all by myself.
But still happy!
YAY LONDON :)

Hi.
I haven't written here in ages.
Summary for the last few months:
After the SAT's I spent a few weeks doing absolutely nothing. It was wonderful and fulfilling nothing and I loved every second of it.. for about 2 weeks. After that I started looking for a job. In the army I was a computer technician so I figured I'll stay in the same profession.
After a few weeks I found a job as a helpdesk technician in Partner Communications. It was a refreshing change, to work in a real job with real money [though it’s not much] and I met there some great people. Most of them already left for a better job or to travel abroad. Another change, not that refreshing was the fact that I was now working as technician in a telephone service center, I never saw any of the people I spoke with and it bothered me a bit in the beginning. Now I don’t really care, I’ve been working there for the pass 7 months and I understand now how rude are some people so I’d rather deal with them over the phone than have the scream at me in person.
Btw, I'm also trying to find a new job because I’m bored with this one and the salary could be MUCH better, and cause everyone is leaving and all the work is falling on the ones who stay. No, they never thought of bringing new people, why would they.
In the last month I started to realize, I HAVE GOT TO TAKE A WEEK OFF OR I WILL LOSE MY MIND. But apparently I was too cheap to spent money on a vacation in
And then I visit the shins website and saw that they're coming to
That didn't go so well and today the last one said no, so I probably won't go. That’s really crappy, I really need this time off and I REALLY WANT TO SEE THE SHINS LIVE. That’s right beneath "watch Conan live" and "watch Stephen Lynch live" in my "do before I die" list.
Benny suggested I'd check "couchsurfing.com" for a place to stay and people to spend time with, but that’s kind of creepy, so I'll pass on crashing on a stranger's couch.
Life kinda sucks right now.

On Monday I did the SAT. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, but I have been beating myself up about not knowing a few words that could earn me some extra points.. I have these weird dreams too, last night I dreamed I was on some bus near my base, and I met a few friends from the army and they told me that on Monday I was only practicing for the real exam, and that I have to do the real SAT in a few days. It was horrible. I was in a total shock and I tried to explain them I'm sure it was the real SAT but they kept on saying it was just another simulation.. I was never happier to wake up from a dream than I was from this one.
The minute I finished the exam I was officially free. Right after that I went to Dizingof center in Tel Aviv and met a few friends there and hung out with them for the rest of the day, it was really awesome.
Now I have all this free time, so yesterday I spent most of the day catching up on One Tree Hill, Lost and Prison Break, and I did, so today I downloaded the first few episodes of Criminal Minds cause I'm dying to know what will happen to Elle and its been a while since I saw the face of awesome Dr. Reid.
Well, I'm off to the shower, tomorrow I'm having breakfast with a good friend I haven't seen in more than a month, and friday night I'm going out with most of my high school friends :)

The whole SAT instructor problem was solved when instructor #5 felt really bad for us and became our instructor. at first I'd go crazy cause his explanations were weird but I think I got used to it. and he really cares about us which is nice.
The pass week totally felt like I have a life.
On Monday my friend was discharged so I went to our base and met all of the awesome officers that were in her branch. I missed the former head of the branch, who left for another job in Be'er Sheva. and I finally saw him.. He's one of those people who is so great you want to jump and hug them when you rarely see them. but you can't, cause its "not appropriate".. but we all love him and squeak [yes, we squeak] when we see him.
anyway, that was lots of fun, cause all our friends were there.
On Wednesday I was in Jerusalem. Its not very far with a car, but I took a few buses there.. and after 2 and a half hours I was at the central bus station there, and took another bus to Bezalel, which is this awesome arts and design school. I really want to study animation and this is the best place in Israel to do that. Unless I somehow get to the school of visual art in NY, that's my plan. my plan has many wholes in it, of course, and I'm not really sure thats what I want and so on.. but thats not important right now. I had the best time there, I was in a few lectures about animation and documentary animation and israeli animation [saw the funniest short animated clip about pickles]. when I was there, I felt like I belong there, seriously. after the lectures were over I went back to the city itself and hung out with Nemi and Ora and it was really great, except I totally froze, though I was dressed up real good.
On the weekend I was in Nazareth Illit. Benny live there [Nemi used to live there too, but she moved to Jerusalem with her bf] and he celebrated his birthday and some other people's bday and my and Yotams release from the army. I got him a T-shirt with this print on it, courtesy of Yotam. It was a huge party, bigger than usual, and it was really cool. I even got a ride from tel aviv to nazreth illit with Yotam and Naor in Naors car, and they drove me all the way home which was even more awesome cause they live in Nes Ziona and it wasn't even in their way. here's some pics from the latest MessiBenny [Benny Party] from Yotams flickr page. please ignore the few first pics, I guess the army really messed up his mind :)
Have a great week,
I'm off to study, my Geometry is waiting.

I've been a civilian for the pass two weeks and it's been really fun, except the fact that I'm broke cause I have no shameful salary going in my bank account, and I'll get my discharging grant only on February 1th. so I'm broke. but I have health insurance! maybe I'll use it and go see the doctor, get some general exams, to make sure that the army didn't get me more sick than I already feel. my stomach hurts so bad, its 2am and I can't even think of falling asleep.
english is good. I'm taking my SAT preparation class now, and we have lots of homework I barley have enough time to focus on the english chapter. luckily, my english is not so poor so I'll hope for the best. my friend got me "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" in english for me to read before the SAT.. but I barely have time now. I started it and it seems like a great book, but all I've doing lately is studying other stuff and working on the homework.. they give us lots of homework. and they're also being kind of ass-wholes, we don't have a regular instructor. I mean, we do have, it's just that he is never there. and I don't get it, we have been studying for a few weeks and we had more lessons with 4 different instructors than with ours. thats pretty lame and I hope they won't keep it up, cause every instructor teaches in a different way and its driving me mad.
I really want to watch "Family Guy" right now.

[I know I don't write much, but from now on I'll really try to :)]
Today I was discharged! :)
It took much longer than I expected, usually the whole discharging process involves a bunch of people who's jobs are to be.. umm, say meaningful in your service time, signing a form as an evident that you can really be discharged. I guess thats how i see the whole process. [took me 4 confused and confusing lines to define tofes tyulim. gee, i wonder how come i dont write more often]
anyway, on the way to my floor, the 9th floor, i got in the elevator with a bunch of americans [probably a delegation or something]. they needed to get to the 10th floor, and there were a lot of them so i was kind of pushed to the corner, far from the door [we have big elevators]. the elevator stopped at the 9th floor and everyone looked aside, confused until i one of them stared at me so i mumbled quietly "nevermind, i'll go back down later.." and then he said out loud "its her fault" and pointed at me. after that he looked at my kitbag and asked if i was going somewhere, so I told him I was being discharged and going back home. "oh, so your just joining in?" "no no, i'm being discharged.." "oh, she's being discharged!" he mentioned loudly. everyone on the elevator was really funny and glad for me "oh, good for you!", "way to go!", "good luck!" and after the longest elevator ride was over they kept questioning but i didnt mind cause they were really nice :)

No good deed goes unpunished..
And here's some more:
These were taken by Yotam. Flickr's awesome.
These were taken by Avital's grandma [Avital is our Galiinda].
These were taken by.. umm, I don't know, someone from the Icon festival. They took pictures of all the events.
Enjoy :)
The last month was crazy. I was such a busy bee. But now its all over, no more "Wicked" for us. Not anytime soon, anyway.
Our wicked musical was on Tuesday. It was so fun. We kicked some major ass. Everything we worked on for such a long time finally came together.. We all had a huge adrenalin rush and we jumped like mad backstage.
I'd love to tell all about it but I've been home for two hours since tuesday so.. some other time :)
