Do I suck at updating blogs? Yes.

The problem with a blog for a semester abroad as that, inevitably, days slip into a kind of routine.

7AM: Wake up. Curse. Beat alarm clock.

7:20 AM: Actually wake up and get out of bed.

7:50 AM: Realize that I'm talking too long to get ready and need to eat breakfast.

7:55 AM: Eat breakfast as quickly as possible.

8:00 AM: Leave.

8:10 AM: Start complaining about hill I have to climb to get to campus.

8:25 AM: Hill levels off, stop complaining.

8:30 AM: Class starts.

10:00 AM: Break. Start out being social, then realize I'm still too tired to deal with people and hide in the library.

10:30 AM: More class.

11:30 AM: Break #2. Am actually able to talk coherently to people this time.

1:15 PM: Finish class.

1:30 PM: Leave campus.

1:45 PM: Start complaining about hill I have to climb back to dorms.

2:00 PM: Finish complaining, go to dorm, make/eat lunch.

3:00-6:00 PM: Do homework/argue about politics and philosophy with roommates.

6:00 PM: Dinner.

And it pretty much happens just that way, every single day. Wouldn't it be boring if every day I had the same thing to say?

Some out of the ordinary stuff happens, though. Monday night I went salsa dancing and (shockingly enough) was not so hopelessly uncoordinated that the building fell down or people had to go to the hospital. I quickly found that, although I'm clumsy enough to fall up staircases, I do have some rhythm. *Phew*.

Unfortunately, there were no attractive men whatsoever at the salsa place. Damn shame, that. Perhaps conditions will improve next week, because it's difficult to do a dance that's supposed to be sexy and fun with someone who isn't.

Friday we are going to Ein Gedi to hike, the weather is supposed to be gorgeous, and I couldn't possibly be more excited!
