So, far I’ve managed to burn some CDs full of Jewish shuirim or what I like to call “stuff to learn.” One shiur (sp?) is all about the Big Bang Theory and the Torah and how it all works out. In theory, I understand what I just heard for 50 minutes enough to give a 1 minute explanation which is: “It’s all about physics, the theory of relativity, the space and time continuum (sp?) and such.” Okay, so I only managed to stay in my high school Physics class for four days before I had to be switched out for fear my brain would implode.

Mostly a pain-free day where I watched Nanny McPhee, burned CDs, downloaded and all region DVD media player (Israel’s movies play in Region 2 and USA is Region 1). I know, it’s not all that exciting. I managed to go to the supermarket for the second time without having a meltdown. Very sad about Honey Bunches of Oats being dairy though that explains my long years of being unable to digest them. I settled for Multi-grain Cheerios though there was a sale on Trix. I only know there is a sale because there is one price scratched out with a line and another one written in bold. My Hebrew reading skills have only improved in as far as I can now read FOUR of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet in script.

I walked into the salad section which is very complicated. Bugs aren’t kosher and salad tends to be covered in it. I usually, you know, buy it fresh and wash it but here there are about a billion kinds of “kosher lettuce” (super bug-free) and of course, all the words are in Hebrew. Sadly, my chicken sandwiches lacked lettuce but I cheered myself up after my supermarket expedition by downing eight Oreo cookies. Yum.
