Apparently.
A lot of people will know why I'm saying this. If you don't, then you're simply not nosy enough.
I just spoke to my dad and grandma on Skype. It was lovely :)
So the other night I started cleaning my room with some cleaning products that I purchased with my own shekelim. I had sooo much to say about all of this but I'm semi-over it now and I don't want to bore you with the details. But by heck was I ready to open fire on Hanita, who is in charge of my dorms. In short, she had moved a load of my stuff and put things that don't belong to me in my personal space. So I called her from work and got ready to tell her exactly what I thought / felt...
and then I remembered she doesn't speak good enough English to understand.
Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut anyway. If I have a go at her I don't know if I'll get into a single room earlier or later =/
I have been addicted to schnitzel pittas from San Martin for the last week and I intended to have one every single day for the rest of my life in Israel. They are soooo good. Schnitzel is chicken in like.. breadcrumbs. With sesame seeds.. Whatever. It's good. And I have houmous in the pitta and spicy sauce and salad and chips. Then I bought a pitta AND a baguette (with the same filling), with the intention of saving the baguette for later. Ofc I ate both of them in one sitting and felt very ill. So now I'm on to salads. MMM THE SALAD IS GOOD.
We had a lab meeting on Wednesday in which we had THE MOST DELICIOUS CAKE EVER and sangria and chocolate etc. It was so fun, apart from the presentation on ribosome biogenesis. It wouldn't be so bad if the meetings weren't so looong, or if we had a break in the middle.
Now, I need to mention (and I realise that this is the third paragraph about food in a row) that we had a bit of an argument in the lab the other day about crumpets. Gilad and I were trying to explain to Yael what crumpets are and she professed that they are the same thing as English muffins. So, after repeated explanations and a bit of google imaging, Yael is still not convinced. So I need crumpets. Whoever comes to visit me first is bringing crumpets. Okay? :)
On a more serious note, I've realised recently that I'm starting to feel. I've been numb to certain thoughts and feelings since I got here. As long as I keep busy, it seems that I can keep my mind off them and still not care. But now things are surfacing when I'm alone with nothing to do. I'm feeling very emotionally unstable and when I'm feeling down I will quite easily cry in front of other people. Fortunately, this leads to quite a nice story about tonight. Noa was leaving the lab and she came and said hi / bye before she left. I started crying and told her how I felt so alone etc, and about some more specific things. She invited me to go eat burgers with her, her girlfriend, and a friend. I had a really nice time and the burger was DELICIOUS. Noa and Roni complained that the burgers were too salty (and we got a free dessert - fruit sorbet because Roni doesn't eat gluten or something and Noa doesn't mix meat and milk). I had so much stuff on my burger that I didn't notice the saltiness. Even if I did, I don't think I would've cared. So I would really like to take Steven to this place when he visits. Then Roni gave me a lift back to the Weizmann and gave me some passion fruits that she stole from work (at the agriculture place across the road). She works on flowering time and her friend works on soil.
I'm going to go get a passion fruit now.
Oh, and then when I got back to my dorms I met a German girl called Karin going into her flat and I said "HI WHERE ARE YOU FROM" and we got talking and now we're going on some architecture tour in Tel Aviv early in the morning.
Then I got my passion fruits and left for the lab. Then I wrote this blog post. Good night.
