JPost internship: I am really enjoying my time here. I've gotten lots of writing opportunities, and the other interns are cool. I know that I don't want to go into journalism, but this is still a fun/good experience. Also, it's in Israel, which makes it even more awesome. If I was doing this in Chicago/NYC/Washington (god forbid), it wouldn't be nearly as cool.
Thursday os Tisha B'Av. It's the 9th day of the month of Av, and it is when the Temples were officially destroyed. (I forget the year the First Temple was destroyed, but the Second Temple was destroyed in 70CE.)
It's a fast day. I've only ever observed the fast while I'm in Israel. It feels more meaningful here. (Also, I don't really keep track of the Hebrew calendar, so I tend to forget when it is when I'm at home and not surrounded by other people who will be fasting.)
On Friday, I will try and drag my ass to Tel Aviv and go to the beach...finally. Also to Nachalat Binyamin, the artists' market. I like this plan. I want to get rid of my farmer's tan and be evenly sunburnt. I also want to go into a body of water that I can legitimately swim in.
On Saturday I will sleep/bum around because that's all there is to do. Also because I want to. Sort of.
And tomorrow I am getting fro-yo and going grocery shopping. I like this plan.
