Thurday, the day after an exhausting week - I slept through my alarm clock and woke up at 8:25... My classes start at 8:30 and I live 45 minutes away... You do the math!  I ended up having to hire a taxi, and I got to class about an hour late... FOR A HEBREW TEST!!! Anyway, I was a bit frazzled, so the teacher allowed me to finish the rest of the test at home (a huge blessing).  That set into motion what was a bit of a down day.  Maybe it was the crash after the rush of the GA and an awesome weekend traveling, but I was pretty blue - I even went home and took a nap, but my bad day faded quickly when I was invited by my cousin Tuvya to spend the evening when his family.  When I got to his home, there was a lady there that I didn't know.  She said "Dah-vid? I am your relative, Clarissa!"  I was so happy!  We talked for a couple of hours and had an amazing dinner and then Tuvya and his wife made me stay over so I could play with the kids in the morning... and then they made me come to dinner for Shabbat!  I'm having so much fun with my newfound relatives in Israel!


Oh - and Tuvya and Ifat set me up on an arranged marriage style date.. it wasn't successful!
