I'm finally here! Woohoo!! It's around 11PM and my 5 other roommates and I are still getting all of our stuff organized. Even though the room is only meant for 4, it'll just force us to become closer faster! haha Surprisingly after a total of 2 days of traveling, I'm not tired.. I slept all but an hour of the 12 hour flight from Newark to Tel Aviv. I've made a lot of friends already the short time I've been with this group, which is a relief. The girls I'm staying with are really fun. After the hour bus drive from Ben Gurin (I might have spelled that wrong) airport, we arrived at our house. We had a meeting, dinner and then a group of about 10 of us went for a walk. We went to a coffee shop and it was so much better than starbucks! (sorry Jess =]) It felt pretty comfortable walking around the city, the little that we did. I didn't really feel scared or out of place..other than the fact that we were one of the only groups of people speaking english. haha Overall, it's been a pretty good day! I will put up pictures of the room and the building tomorrow when I'm all unpacked and situated. Tomorrow starts our days of travel and learning!
