im having a lot of visitors this month. todd was just here, we went to eilat and petra the day after i found out i didnt make it into the paratroopers. it was a nice distraction. We went to petra on an organized trip that included me, todd, a nice canadian girl that was volunteering with an organization called rabbis for human rights, and two japanese semi-conductor engineers wearing indiana jones style hats. We had a funny jordanian guide who seemed to know every single person in petra. Even though we have peace with Jordan i still felt like a stowaway on a pirate ship, there was definitely a novelty to it, and now i have a jordanian stamp in my israeli passport, so thats exciting.
my sister got into town last week, shes staying for most of june, and a few more people are coming to visit this month so between them and selling ice cream ill have my hands full till my draft date. i think i might have to quit my job soon to make time for everyone.
in other news, i may have found a place to live in tel aviv, dont want to jinx it so ill fill you in when the details are settled.
i guess lastly, my draft date is set for july 6th and its not going to change anymore. the army is retarded so their drafting me on a special date for recent immigrants to the country, even though i speak hebrew and i lived here for 6 years, hah. so basically my draft date is 3 weeks earlier than the normal combat draft, i get to improve my hebrew (90% of the people in this course are russian so i think the only thing i will be improving is my ability to curse in russian, blat) and learn some zionist history. on the upside, i hear people in this course get priority for picking their placement in the army, so perhaps something good will come out of it after all.
anyways, its 2 3o in the morning and i should be sleeping so im gonna get to that.
happy birthday katia
