week two

hey all,
I can't believe that i am only starting my second week here. it feels like it has been a month already, don't get me wrong, i am not complaining.

Camp is ending this week but i think the break will be welcomed with open arms. The kids have warmed up to my by now, which is good but does not in anyway mean they listen to me or do what i say. Being with a group of 12-16 young girls for an hour each morning and having to speak hebrew after only 5 or 6 hours sleep can be very difficult. I am kind of tense while i am there but by the end of the day it is all well and good and fun. so i duno.

The show is on thursday which is sort of a pain in my ass. The city is half an hour to an hour away from where i live by bus so camp ending at 1:30-2:00 and call being at 4:00 doesn't really give me anytime to go home and rest a bit. uhhhg. thats ok.

the show is coming together, these kids have no understanding of focusing and how things work in rehearsal/backs stage. its pretty phenominal how much we actors take for granted sometimes. it has been an interesting rehearsal process needless to say. but the scenes are starting to look really cute, and kids are starting to get the importance of speaking up when you are on stage. ha kosem mi eretz utz or the wizard of oz or הקוסם מי ערץ וץ (i have no idea if that is spelled right) will be ok at least, and if not i told guy the best thing about doing theater with children is 1) there parents don't care how bad it is becuase its their kid and 2) it doesn't matter how bad they are, the parents won't blame us because 9 year olds arn't supposed to be great actors anyway. so i feel pretty good.

Other than camp guy and i have been visiting his friends and seeing poeple from our birthright trip. We went to a bbq at the beautiful tel aviv apartment of his soon to be roomate and had an israeli bbq with all the kids he took his pre med class with and is going to be going to school with for the next 6 years. We hung out with freinds from high school, went to La Triviata in the park in Tel Aviv (not quite like sleeping in central park for shakes in park tickets but i got my quota i think), tonight we are going to a Shlomo Artzy (also have no idea how to spell that) concert (big famouse older musician singer here), spent an afternoon at the beach and went to a free Monica Sex (israeli band who i happened to know before hand) on the boardwalk, and ate lots and lots of israeli frozen yogert.

in other words life is pretty fun.

i am still tired come the afternoons but i think that comes from screaming at isreali children and trying to understand them when they scream back for 5 hours each day and then staying out late at night. oh well sleep is for the weak as guy keeps reminding me. i just wich my cold would go away.

after camp is done i have about a teo week break before i start the second camp. we plan to go to the north maybe camp or spend a weekend in a freinds apartment by the Kineret, go to Eilat (israel's vacation spot) for two nights and three days with another couple

also we weren't sure for a while how everything was going to be when guy goes to hungary for school, but we figured out since i have nothing to do once the second camp is over i am going to be in hungary with guy for 2 weeks before my parents come to israel, i am really looking for
ward to the adventure that will be hungary and getting those extra two weeks with him

also guy and i decided to have a 6th month celebration july would be our 6 months if we had a real date to go off of so we decided this weekend will be our 6 months(i have no idea what to get him) if you have any suggestions email me!!d

anyway i think thats it, this was kind of a blaby post sorry about that, hopefully after some travels i will have some good stories

hope all are well and healthy and happy

yours,

Roneet
