Wow the last week has completely flown by. After finishing up my official mother's helper duties, although I still happened to be staying with the family, I started to attempt to get my Israeli life in order. Things have been a real balegan the past couple of weeks, and I can now officially say that I have decided where I want to be for the time being. I had a great day of learning today, and I met some really nice girls. I think it may be a Har Nof life for me, which is definitely the last part of Jerusalem I ever thought I would be living! Not to mention that I was awarded the only single bedroom in the entire school #divaproblems, so I am not upset about that. In addition, my apartment overlooks the beautiful hills of Jerusalem and the Jerusalem forest. I don't think it will ever get old. However, I do anticipate the nearly 300, steep stairs to get to school may get old quite quickly. Actually, I have only done them once, and it was going down, and I am already over them, sooo I will keep you all posted on that one.
I had a wonderful Shabbos with one of my other favorite families in Ramot this past weekend. They attend a Carlebach shul, and the davening on Friday night is unforgettable. I dream about it when I'm in America, and I can hardly get there fast enough when I'm in Israel. You can truly feel the spirit of Shabbos when you sing Kabbalos Shabbos in the shul. It reminds me of camp, which is maybe why I like it so much.
The rest of my week has been solely devoted to being homeless, finally NOT being homeless, buying clothes even though I have no place to put them, celebrating my biffle AP's bday, and singing karaoke with other hilarious baalat teshuva women. Tonight I made a salad, so everyone can add that to my shidduch resume of "things I can cook". HA. FYI that section doesn't really exist, but let's just say my list is short. I am attempting a lemon pie I happen to be obsessed with for Shabbos. Let's just say my future husband will be wooed by this lemon pie, if I can get the recipe right. I am currently shacking at my cousin Rivkah's house, who happens to live on the other side of the same street as my apartment. My room won't be available until Sunday, so I am chillin here until then. Thank goodness I have her and her husband here. They have really been here for me the past few weeks, and I am SO thankful.
She'arim is taking a tiyul on Sunday, and I am so pumped. Hopefully I'll make a few more friends, and maybe get a little exercise (?). Anyway, they said I can sit on the bus for the hike if "my ankle" (my out of shape self) isn't feeling up to it. I'll def keep you posted on that. Here's hoping that next week I'm writing this from my very own room! Here are some pics from the week.
