Been a while

Hey all, sorry it's been so long since I last posted.  

We have been very busy with Yom Tov and the usual.  Eat eat eat, sleep, pray, eat eat eat, sleep, read cause your sick of sleeping, eat, pray........ and then start all over again, you know the drill.  I have only had the time to go online and get rid of the emails I didn't need and that's about it.  I have a whole ton of pictures to post up online tonight as well so check the gallery later tonight.  

So what have I been up to besides eating....

The first days I went up to Efrat with my friend.  We stayed by family friends of his and they were good hosts.  I had a good time there.  I also have a friend in Efrat so we met up as well.  My friend and I kept 2 days of Yom Tov, even though most people took the easy way and only kept one.  It was a little awkward as the family we were staying at since they went out at night, then were working during the day to get ready for a family get-together and we couldn't really help.  But in the end it ended up being ok and an experience to add to my growing list.  

Due to the fact that we kept 2 days we only had one day of Chol Hamoed before Shabbat so we just went back to the dorms and chilled there.  For Shabbos I went back to my cousins in Quarne Shomron, and returned the favor to my friend who took me to Efrat by dragging him with me.  :-)

I am on my way back to the dorms now and will most likely be up all night because the Red Sox are playing a playoff game tonight.  One of my friends from Yeshiva is a Sox fan and has a MLB.tv account so we can watch the games.  Time to break out the hot chocolate and make some mac and cheese and enjoy the game!  Go Sox!!!!  ok enough ranting.  

Tomorrow the school has the option of going ATVing (All Terrain Vehicle) and I am most likely going to go.  More money, oy.  

Then the last days I need to stay in the Yeshiva because we have to be in for Simchat Torah.  I shall be making the rounds of the Bet Shemesh people in know for meals.  :-)

After it's all said and done we should actually be starting some kind of a regular schedule and stick to it.  I am gonna go work on posting those pictures now before I forget, so I will speak to you all on the flip side!
