Last Week

So last week had two really interesting days. Last Sunday I went to volunteering. I volunteer at a farm which I will bring up later. So after volunteering I was planning on going to the shuk with Elana to get a snack. I get on the bus and I end up on Ben Yehuda, I know if its on Ben Yehuda then it isn't going to the shuk, so I get off. I call Elana and I tell her I don't know where I am or how to get to the shuk she keeps telling me that I can do it, she believes in me and corny stuff like that. It was funny. I keep walking a certain direction and then I ask a random lady how to get to the shuk, she tells me to go straight and turn left I say thank you and I go. I turn left and keep walking and I feel like I'm going nowhere.I'm getting kind of nervous at this point. Finally I reach the market Elana is unable to come so I buy the things and come home. Success, but barely. Next day is Monday and we have a seminar it was a holocaust seminar it was great we got to learn more about the holocaust I enjoyed it because I was able to relate better being that I went to Poland and have been to the concentration camps. And after that experience I was able to imagine stories a bit better that we got to hear. Anyways I get lost on this day too kind of. After the seminar I meet Hannah. I get on the bus to go to Mamilla and I miss the stop. I get off at the next stop and I ran to get to Mamilla. I get there I find her, we chill and soon enough we're on Ben Yehudah, we chill some more and then she has to go. So I say to myself, "hey why not go back to Mamillah?" Well some how I made my way back, but I couldn't find the bus stop to get back. I'm walking, I'm walking, and thankfully I run into more yearcoursers a couple being my roommates. I join them because they are also heading home. So I was able to take a bus and not walk all the way which was great. I think both days I got really lucky, but my roommate Natalie thinks I shouldn't go anywhere without another person, she is probably right. What are you going to do? At least now I know my way around better. Back to volunteering. I don't like it. I work at a farm and I sweep the outside, I clean the inside of the main building (I'm back to cleaning the merkaz like I did on the kibbutz, but not really) and I do whatever I'm told. Well yesterday I was given the job to do the compost. Oh, my, goodness I couldn't stand it. It smelled so bad and it was hot and smokey.....ewww. So I do it for a while and then I go to my boss and I tell him I can't do it anymore so he makes me weed, that was okay. I saw a lot of weird bugs, I guess that's kind of cool? Today I didn't get much sleep and so I was tired and he was getting mad at me for being tired. So I asked if I could go home since I also wasn't feeling well either. I told him I would get more sleep and work harder on the rest of the days. He said I better or else I should look for anoher volunteering place. I mean he has a point, but I'm volunteering. I had one bad day. But to end on a positive note the goat there had to babies. And they are so cute. I love the animals there, so I will work harder, because the animals are worth it to see.
