The Last Week

So this was the final week and boy am I happy. It was a good week. I got a little drunk Tuesday, finished classes on Thursday and finally got to go to the Kotel on a Friday night. Those days were the highlights of this week. Tuesday night I was at Arielle's finishing a project and when I got home my roommates were all drinking. They asked me to join and I said why not. I took a few shots and every time I took a shot they sung havanagila it was kind of funny. I got a bit drunk wondered a bit around campus and then went to sleep.
Now Thursday was a crazy night. There was no drinking, but the night was still crazy. So after classes Arielle and I headed to Tel Aviv, we first started on Rothschild and got to Tut binana L`chi smoothie that was suppose to be a Hebrew transliteration, most of that I think you got. For those who didn't get it, it was strawberry, banana, leeches smoothie. It was so delicious. Then we made our way over to the dread place and got hair wraps, mine is so cool its rainbow colors!! :) After that we met up with everyone at some burger place and had a nice dinner. I shared a platter of burgers with 3 other people. It was very tasty. Once we were done we went to Max Brenner's and got some chocolate desserts. I got fondue with some people. It was past 12 at this point and I was really tired, so Rose decided to go home with me. We walked a bit and ended up taking a taxi to the Bus Station to pick up a sherut (taxi-bus) and within 1 hour and 20 minutes we were in Jerusalem. We took a taxi back home and as soon as I got home I started doing laundry. I was quite awake since I slept a bit on the sherut. While my laundry was going I took a shower and got ready for bed. I went to my laundry once I was ready and I saw someone's clothes where still in the dryer, but they were dry so I folded the clothes and left a note saying that I really needed the dryer. Then I put my clothes and went to bed, it was 4:30 I think. I woke up at 7 got my clothes from the dryer went back to bed and woke up at 11 am. 12:30 Arielle and I went to the Art Shuk in Jerusalem and it is not nearly as cool as the one in Tel Aviv. Later on we went to the kotel. Going to the kotel was an amazing experience we got to hear soldiers singing. They were singing going to the kotel and they were singing when they got to the kotel. I remember hearing the men sing Am Yisroel Chai and the women were singing salaam. It was really cool. So many people were there, different kinds of people. It was very unique to me. That night we got set up with a family and had dinner at this nice family's house in the old city. By 12 we left and were on our way home. It was a great experience. Today, I finished cleaning and packing, and I'm ready for the plane ride. Lets get this show on the road. Well first lets have 2 days with all of year course and then I'll be home ;)
