Shuk Chic

I woke up this morning feeling out of it and rude. I had a really creepy dream involving 50 Cent (a hardcore gangsta rapper) and bad behavior and it left me feeling hungover by the time I woke up. Strange I know, but it happens sometimes. I mean, I still remember the dream now, very clearly, which is a rarity. I'd post it but I don't want to scare my little cousins who read this blog.
Anyway, I figured that drinking some coffee should be just the thing to get my mind back into the "awake" state of being, but I had to go to ulpan first before buying any.
I dropped my Honors Seminar and International Relations class. So now my schedule consists of ulpan, Israeli culture through film, Arab-Israeli conflict, and Internship. I'm also hosting an hour of English radio on Hebrew U's radio staton. It should be fun but time consuming. I think I'm gonna stick with the Truman Institute internship. I'm really not at all thrilled with the other one. All I do is sit at a desk and check my e-mail and such. It would be worth it if I were getting paid, but since I have to write a paper it'd be kinda difficult to make up something completely out of nowhere. I mean it's possible (lord knows I do it all the time) but I think it'd be alot more worthwhile to do something with a little more depth.
I went to the shuk today with my Israeli friend Yitzchak and his friend Ariel. There I bought some fruit and halva. The shuks the most fun when you're able to browse things slowly and stay laid-back amongst all the hustle and bustle around. Ariel was the funniest. He bought an entire plastic shopping bag full of oatmeal. That's about it. I had some salad for lunch and some coke. Tomorrow I have nothing but Friday I'm going on this day-long biketrip through OSA. One of the Israeli madrichot is leading it and she is funny, so it should be fun for only that reason.
