Today was the first day of school. It was so weird being back at school and having classes and homework and having a schedule. I have been out of “real” school since the beginning of June, so sitting in classes all day today was a little different! The classes that I am taking do seem really interesting though. Today I went to two classes about the history of Israel in/and the Middle East. They seem like they are going to be intense but really interesting. The other class that I went to today was called “After Auschwitz.” This class also seemed interesting and I think I am going to like it a lot! It seems really similar to the class that I took last quarter at the University of Denver. I can tell, though, that this class is going to be intense too and sad. The last class I had for the day, one of the history of the Middle East classes, ended at 6pm and all of my friends were in it. We were starving after class, so we went to go get sushi downtown. We celebrated our first day of class! The sushi restaurant we went to was soooooooo cool! It was called Moon sushi and it was one of those sushi restaurants with a conveyor belt running around the restaurant. The sushi chef was in the middle of the restaurant and once he made a sushi roll, he would put it on the belt and we could take whatever we wanted off of it! I think it was some of the best sushi I have had here. Surprisingly Tel Aviv has GREAT sushi and tons of it! After dinner, my friends and I went for a nice walk on Dizengoff street. Overall, today was a great day and I am excited to have my last two classes tomorrow, I hope they are as good and as interesting as the classes I had today!
