Catching up

Hands down, my baby cousin is the cutest baby in the world!  It was so nice getting to spend time with her.  We took her to the Kinneret and took her in the water.  She was really adorable.  Then her and I took a nap in the shade.  We also had some really tasty food.  I didn't realize how long I have been in Israel and not seen my cousins.  There is still family I need to see.  My schedule is pretty demanding at the moment.  Being in lectures from 10-6 is really quite tiring.  Last night I finally did a little bit of food shopping after a nudge by my roommates.  An activity I definitely needed to do, but I am so tired when we get off the bus in Rehovot at night.

I spoke to a friend I haven't seen in a year on the bus last night.  And then she decided to drive over.  It was really nice to catch up and spend time talking.  We decided to just drive around and talk.  I really miss driving.  I like that I have been getting more familiar with the public transportation.  However, sometimes it is nice to just get in the car and drive.  Last night we drove around to new streets I haven't seen in Rehovot.  It was an enjoyable change of pace.

Yesterday we worked in the Sadna, a room at seminar hakibutzim with so many art materials.  We had 4 hours to create materials.  Clearly I was in educator heaven.  I find it somewhat amazing that after 2 years of classroom teaching I am still recreating word family cards constantly.

Today will be another computer day.  Hopefully it will be engaging and interesting.
