Hey guys,
So this has been such a great month for me. I'm really starting to feel established and adapted to living with these crazy nutters i call house mates.
The big achievements so far have been:
When i conquered the washing machine and final forced it to do my bidding. March the 14th will always be known as the day of clean socks from now on.
When we ran an incredible event about Israel and Israeli politicians...I'm still blown away about the whole Lebonon war planning.
Celebrating St. Patricks day. This was one of the funnest nights I've had in such a long time. It was such a pleasure spending good quality time with good people.
We still have a bit of problems with the house, we decided to do something called Kupa. A Kupa is a communal money pot. The idea behind it is to express some values of togetherness and equality and pool our money together to buy things for the house. At the moment, the Kupa only covers food, toiletries and essentials for the house. At every house meeting we talk about how well we feel we're handling the Kupa, and Daniel Barnett (he's our "Gizbar", which means accountant) gives us updates. Ideally the Kupa will grow a bit bigger and will include ALL of our expenses and not just essentials.
As you can guess, a Kupa is great for bringing a group together but also very difficult, it's easy to have fights with people when you think they're buying stuff unneccesarily. So far no arguments have happened, but last week, Barnett and I had a massive argument on how to best document all the payments. A few hours later, we spoke and came to a cool compromise and apologised for any harshness that came up during theargument.
Otherwise life in Moishe House South Africa is sweet...
