studeeeeeeeee

I have to come up with a studying schedule. I'm out of practice in Latin, French and (bizarrely) Hebrew. I'm posting this so that I make all this public, and therefore I'll be more likely to feel obligated to follow through with my plans.

Airplane (18 hours total, not including the lay-over):
3 hours Hebrew review. (recopying words from my class notes)
1 hour reading book in Hebrew
2 hours French review.
a combined 12 hours of watching TV in Hebrew (at least when I'm on the El Al flight)/sleeping my lazy ass off (mostly over the US on the American flight).

My bet is that I'll be wide awake for most of the El Al flight to New York, whereas I'll completely conk out once the American flight leaves for LA.


I have 14 days of studying between Sept 9 (the first morning I'll wake up in LA) and the first day of class. And during this time I have to be unpacking/packing, driving/flying to school, and visiting with/annoying my family members and friends. I think during that time I can at least manage an hour in each language (meaning three hours of studying every single day).

Then school starts....hmm.... It's hard to work out a study schedule for that since I don't know where/if I'll be working. I think I should be working so that I have money saved up for Aliyah Round 2.

Yeah, it's two years away, but here's what else I gotta do for Aliyah Take 2: become fluent in Hebrew. Whatever it takes, I gotta get to that level!


Also, just wanna brag: for the first time in, I think, EVER all my classes are in two buildings next to each other across the street from my dorm. No more of these fucking hikes across campus in the middle of a friggin blizzard.



Fucking hell, third post of the day and I've only been back on the kibbutz for a few hours.....this place is so goddamn boring! I hate this place. I spend the entire week off the kibbutz, and I find myself loving this country so much that the thought of leaving it makes me want to cry, but then I come back to this place and all I want to do is see the country that is responsible for this travesty of a kibbutz to go to hell.
