First Day!

Hey guys!

So I arrived in Tel Aviv! It was really scary being in the airport...im still awake from a day and a half ago. When I was waiting at the gate I wass really nervous to meet people, but I just sat down wiht a group of kids and met this girl Rebecca from California and who was so nice! When we got on the plane we switched seats so we could sit together...the plane ride was really long but i tried to sleep with a sleeping pill...didn't really work. Other than that it went by pretty quickly. We then landed in Israel and the temperature was really warm. We took coach busses from the airport to the university...I was worried cuz i had three suitcases, but their were counselors and bellboys to help. We got to the University and Rebecca and I wantedto room together so we told together so we told the madrichim that we 'requested eachother' and they screwed up. So we had to do a little barganing with people so her and i could be together, and with a little switharoo we got to be roommates! We met a few people then went out to the mall to get some stuff. This guy in the supermarket was trying to tell us everything in the store was a rip off and to order our groceries online...he wouldn't stop talking to us for like, 20 minutes.We have a really cool suitemate named Elyse, and a mysterious roommate who has not showed up yet...we'll see who it is. We met some friends and their roommate from Amsterdam, Alon who knows Tel Aviv well showed us to this schwarma place and it was soo yummy!
Tomorrow we have a really busy day with orientation stuff!
Yay!

P.S there are kitties everrrywhere!!
