Tuesday started our ulpan. Now that we are done with basic training we start our hebrew classes for the next 2 months. But before we could start the classes I was voluntold to do something called toronute rasar, which I think loosely translates to bitchwork. Of the 6 hours of toronute rasar I did about 1 hour of sweeping the streets. The best part of the entire day (not just the 6 hours) was that while I was sweeping I found a pinecone and started playing hockey using the broom as a hockey stick. I'm not sure which is worse - the fact that my day was so crappy that the best part was playing hockey by myself with a broomstick and a pinecone or the fact that in all seriousness I actually had a lot of fun!
I survived 12 days on base without going completely nuts. Maybe the previous paragraph might change people's minds. We now get a long weekend and don't have to be back on base until Tuesday because of Yom Kippur, which makes next week very short!
