2.23 She's Back!

I have really missed you, my old pal, blog. What can I say; academic papers and exams were more important than you? Well of course not, I just needed to maintain a little time- management. Just to fill you in, my little savior, I am one year in to my masters. Was it all that I made it out to be last year, as I quietly muttered words of excitement and thrill to you over coffee? Well, it may have been an international programme, designed for all those derivatives of the Anglo world, lovers of everything presented in glossy magazines, a well-spoken receptionist and efficient itineraries fit only for the queen. But kid me not, how could I forget those little niggles of Israeli culture? I thought they only existed in the supermarkets, post offices and banks. How did they worm their way into the cracks of academic administration and library resources of an international course? I hear you gasp in horror. Well what can I say; disorganization must be to Israel what 5 o’clock tea is to us Brits. Not that good for our health, but we just cannot seem to live without it.

Anyway, how has this left me? My eyes are straining somewhat more, I now type on Word with a zoom 150%. A little rainforest has grown on my shelves and in boxes. And no doubt, I am dazed and confused as ever.

I will fill you in soon with my life developments. I just need to get back to time-management and terrorism.
