here's lookin at you, kid

not much has happened here worth writing about. i went out to dinner with marsha elentuck and her daughter yasmine, and it was lovely. they are really nice and i got to practice my hebrew (with the waitress, not with them).

i am doing well in class. the teacher is a bitch, but she loves me. i seem to attract the really obnoxioius teachers. it happened in high school too (mr. Hanson, my math teacher for example). anyways, she is really rude and talks down to the everyone, and sometimes she just refused to answer our questions. and she decided not to teach us command form of words because she doesnt like them. she is just really obnoxious. but when we were practicing talking in hebrew for the first hour of class today (in conversation as opposed to learning grammar and stuff like that) the boy i was talking to was not very talkative, so she told me to talk to her. she mannaged to tell me i was her favorite and she wanted to be my kibbutz emah while insulting the woman who is already my kibbutz emah as well as all americans, as well as everyone in kita alef, as well as everyone else on the kibbutz! i had no idea what to say to that. it was uncomfortable, to say the least. but she said my hebrew was perfect and i was the best in the class, i just think im not. so i guess thats good. we had a test today, which was awful. it was on 'et' and noun contractions, both of which dont really happen in the english language. she gets really impatient with us, so none of us really understand it. it is quite frustrating.

other than that, not much has happened. i met some kids my age on the kibbutz which is nice. im trying really hard to make friends with them. they are really nice.

i miss you all,
ella
