post number 3 tonight... i need to learn how to post pictures properly. and how to alliterate less...

this is a random beach day in the midst of study tour with jess, emily, me (a hilarious new shade of skin, see if you can spot the white part that is my original skin tone), and sarah (another of emily's hebrew u friends)
this was taken just before some non-hebrew, non-english, non-arabic speaking asian men began to pile up beach chairs in front of us, creating the great wall of china, part 2, blockading our view of the sunset (slash making it way funnier)

this photographic gem is a perfect example of just how little attention i ever actually paid to anything my professor said. it is a delightful slice of life, taken by austen. here you see everyone in their elements: our professor, mustache, backpack and all, lecturing about something...adina (the short-haired, scalp smelling girl) stroking her imaginary beard and likely saying "ahh" with each newly acquired piece of knowledge, the back of liz's head (ok, pretty unremarkable), and me...blatantly not paying attention...at all...to anything...ever. and yet i can still tell you that he was lecturing about paratroopers and chana senesh. i can even recite some of her poems and tell you that the word for paratroopers has the same root as the word for skydiving. and what.


and this is a picture of me and austen from the irish pub (where i had my first churro...it was not that great, but was quite funny to be eating a churro in in irish pub in israel). austen made me order a bitchy drink, which i tend to not do...and tomer orderred for him... the drink was called aftershock, and i think austen's face explains why. gross. like drinking cinnamon listerine flavored drain cleaner...or so im told. anyway, it was fun...ny

looks like one more round of pictures. i have to learn how to use this...
