Week of March 13-19
Monday we went on a trip to reward good attendance. Most of the girls worked really hard to be in class enough to get on the list so we had a big group.
First we went ATVing. There were too many drivers for everyone who had a license to drive the whole time but Mindy and I switched off driving ours. As slow as it was because some drivers can't drive... :D it was a blast. One ATV almost went off a cliff, and one even flipped over! cool to hear about, glad it wasn't me right :P
Afterward we went to a really sick lazer-tag place. We played a game of capture the flag with lazer rifles in a huge 1000 meter forest boundary!!! Before the game started we painted our faces with green and black camouflage... so, naturally, i gave myself a black eye and told e/o "u shoulda seen the other guy :D"
We played 3 rounds. My team won the first round, theirs the second and we tied on the last. It lasted over an hour and was really intense. It had to have been my favorite trip this year though!!
Then we went to get ice cream in Elad... a break off of Bnei Brak, and then headed back to school.
Wednesday we all ditched afternoon classes and went to Gan Saccer (a park nearby). We left a note on the board for Rabbi Meisels to call us if he wants to get us to come back to school. Someone tipped him off that we were in Gan Saccer (as planned) and we ordered 6 boxes of pizza and drinks to the park, to arrive at the same time as he did. When he showed up, he was promptly handed the bill for our dinner :)As it worked out though, he had brought his whole family along anyway so we all had dinner in the park together. A few other girls and I made a spontaneous bonfire to keep us warm once it got dark and then most of the girls went home.
I stayed with a few kids and we made a second, much bigger fire in a pit and burned all the pizza boxes. We sang songs and entertained curious kids and asked people what they were dressed up as, when they walked by. (It was the day before Taanis Esther so everyone was dressed up)
When I got back that night Mindy, Leah G, and I painted our faces demon style and went out to scare people. Wherever we walked we did funky things at the same time (like for ever 10 steps forward we'd take 2 steps back, or freezing in exaggerated positions at every street corner). We went to the window of coffee bean where our friends were inside playing banana grams and froze. The couple sitting closest to the window nearly had a heart attack when they chanced to look up and saw us frozen with scary faces in the window less than a foot away from their faces :) We also pretended to be mannequins in a costume store on Yaffo and scared a lot of unsuspecting costume shoppers.
Taanis Esther we had a Purim Yom Iyun which basically focused on the Coach HaTefilla on Purim. I slept through most of the day since I'm not such a good faster. We broke the fast on... pretty much nothing. Since they forgot about us and didn't make food. But its fine because we found cottage cheese and yogurts in the fridge. And later that evening I did a mitzva with a friend and got another girl take out since we figured out that she hadn't eaten anything and was planning on sleeping it out till the next day.
At night Mindy and I asked for late curfew to go for a walk and I got to show her around Kiryat Moshe. We also found a small kumzitz so we sat in the distance and listened for a while. :)
This past Shabbos I went to Efrat, to Deja and Aviad, with a friend. Their twin babies are really cute and the Ariel and Choshen are too. We had a wonderful shabbos!!
