So, since my last blogposting, I have graduated WUJS, set up camp in my friend's living room in Tel Aviv, been back to Jerusalem twice (once for Yom Kippur, and once to eat in a friend's Sukkah). In general, I have been living the life of an unemployed bum - or as I prefer to think of myself, semi-retired!
It feels like there's not much to write about, but my days are surprisingly packed with errands and activities. I spend a lot of time making travel plans and arrangements for my upcoming trips to the UK and New York area, and for my friend's upcoming visit to hang with me in Israel. Between myself and Laura, my co-"semi-retired" Canadian friend, there are always shopping missions - like going to the Old City in Jerusalem to buy Shesh Besh (backgammon) boards; going to my favourite Jewellery co-op in West Jerusalem to buy a hamsa necklace, going down Sheinkin st in Tel Aviv to buy boots for my ordeal in the Northern Winter; etc.
For "free" fun, there is the beach, wandering around Tel Aviv taking pictures of Bucket Tubes, watching friends' pirated DVDs on the computer, and sitting on a park bench on Rothschild Boulevard staring at passers-by.
It's still very warm here, even though it's already October, so I'm still wearing the same clothes I've been wearing all summer. It's hard to believe that soon I will be shivering in the cold wet damp and maybe snowy UK and North America!
