happy matzah week

so varsity vac (and by vac i mean study break) has just started, and after a hectic couple of weeks i think we all need the holiday quite badly. it's weird, but this past week i saw so little of some of the house mates, that you'd think we weren't actually living together! It's because the University of Cape Town feels the need to squeeze all tests and assignments into one week in an attempt to stress us out as much as possible and perhaps even cause a couple of nervous breakdowns. We all made it through the week relatively unscathed though, and i've managed to have some one on one time with a few of the guys that i hadn't seen too much of. I think most of us have just decided to chill and recover for a while after the past couple of days, so that's quite nice.

And what's also nice is that i've recently discovered the joys of watching movies on my computer, so i've kinda become a bit addicted to that. It's great for when you're tired but can't quite fall asleep, so you just put on a movie and watch it until you pass out. I very recently watched "Napoleon Dynamite", which i thought was really good!! It still sucks not having internet though, cos it makes things like my Moishe house blog and keeping in touch with people via email very difficult. But of course we're trying to get it sorted out.

I actually just spoke to my brother on skype though, which was awesome! He's on a gap year programme in israel, and i hadn't spoken to him for like 3 weeks so it was very cool to hear from him. He sounds like he's doing well, so that's good. and also he just bought a bicycle... he's always been a rather strange child... I've been checking out his photos on facebook though, and it seems like he's having an amazing time!

Ok, so what else has happened this month? There's been so much going on, but i'll try think of some of the important things. Living in the house has been great! Well, to be honest, my room's a bit of a mess at the moment, but i've vowed that now that it's the holidays i will make an effort to clean it! And anyway, i kinda like it being a bit of mess - it sort of gives it the "lived in" look. Although i must admit that at the moment it looks a little bit too lived in! :/

Varsity is going well, although i've been oversleeping more often that i would like to, and we've had some amazing events at the house! I've even met some pretty cool new people, which is one of my favourite hobbies :)

so i think i'll end off here, it seems like a good time for a movie on my computer. maybe i'll even make some popcorn, or perhaps guzzle a couple of slices of bread before pesach begins. mmm, matzah...

so cheppy pesach to all
much love and kneidlach :)
