There's something about distance that gets to us all
Lately, I've been obsessing over this one Elton John song called "Latitude".
Grey London morning, wet London streets
Rain on the window, wind in the trees
It's my time to write, it's your time to call
There's something about distance that gets to us all
Dark clouds above me, little people below
All walk with a purpose with someplace to go
It's my place to paint my own selfish scene
On this cold lonely canvas, it's just the weather and me
And latitude
Fold back the morning and bring on the night
There's an alien moon
That hangs between darkness and light
Latitude between me and you
You're a straight line of distance
A cold strech of black across blue
Latitude
Cracks in the sidewalks, dogs on the run
An old poster reading "Give us your sons"
Window frames capture moments in time
But latitude captures the heart and the mind
The weather's been relatively crappy lately. I've never seen rain in Israel before. It's so depressing, not because its bad weather. I don't mind the rain, actually I really like it. It's depressing that a little drizzle and some clouds count as awful weather. I can't wait for some really rain showers. Then I could wear my cute boots my mom sent me in a package!

Here's to another day of sitting in the lobby of the Rothberg International School at the Mount Scopus campus of Hebrew University in Jerusalem, IS. Lol, someone just took a photograph of us all sitting here between classes for the RIS website. Awkward
So we have these various clubs and activities that we can join. I'm joining the knitting club and the a capella group. yeah I know that I'm not a singer, but it'd be fun, right? And then every sunday night they show a disney movie in hebrew in the lounge, and on monday nights we havce Cafe Ivrit. Ivrit means hebrew, so one of the staff members (Ari) takes a group of us to a coffee house and we speak only in hebrew and drink coffee subsidized by Nativ. I feel like Ashley would really like Cafe Ivrit.
I'm actually getting way better at speaking Hebrew, so I haven't really given up hope of fluency. It's going to be really hard, though.
Time to do something productive, so I'm signing out. Bye!
