And the orientation continues...

After the second day of orientation, I'm not yet sure if I'm oriented or disoriented. This morning was test-taking time. We had three Hebrew tests to choose from: easy, medium or hard. I chose medium, and got to work wracking my brains (or what's left of them after jet lag) to remember past and future tenses. I guess I did ok, because I'm ending up in the middle ulpan group, kitah bet.

We also signed up for insurance today, which was thrilling to say the least. It took forever. Then we got pitches from two competing cell phone rental companies. I chose the less confusing of the two, which seems like it will overall be cheaper. My main point for deciding was that I'd rather not have to look at a list of rates before every call I make.

Tomorrow is our tiyul (trip) in the desert. I'm skipping the first hike, which is kind of hard. But then I'm camping out and going on a hike the next morning. Hopefully it'll be fun.

Pictures of Arad should be coming soon. Of course, I can't guarantee they'll upload, as internet access here goes at the pace of a snail!
