it's 9 PM; why are you still here?

today was a pretty good day, despite the fact i didn't get to enter temple mount and that i was detained for 30 minutes because i, stupidly, brought an x-acto knife in my backpack to the western wall. it just proves that i'm not yet used to the lifestyle here. and it's illegal to carry a knife in israel.. what? but i'm an art student! anyways...

this weekend, i kind of did what the people do and rested the entire weekend. i slept day in and day out all of friday and saturday. i kid you not. it was marvelous!

the israel culture class wasn't as interesting as it normally was, as we explored the kotel and the jewish quarters. maybe i just wasn't in the mood after dealing with the whole knife fiasco. honestly.

some pretty alley way in the jewish quarter

um, i actually have no idea what this is; it's pretty, though.
after the class, i went to prisma to pick up my photos from my fisheye. OH MY GOD. i love this camera. thank you mark! it might just be beginner's luck but i got some amazing shots from it and i don't even remember half of the shots. hrm. also, my baby (nikon d60) is clean and ready to go. woo. kimmy and i got some food to go at moshiko's which serves pretty damn good falafel. afterwards, we trekked back to bezalel to do some work before break and classes.

avi and i've been working on this project for about 3 weeks now. we didn't even start til last week. oh dear. but it's coming along fabulously, if i do say so myself. it's a collage/installation on a crime scene. avi and i are trying to do something absurd with it and i think it's working. i think that because of this project, i'm becoming the crazy art girl who does everything the hard way. yea. and what is the deal with kicking everyone out at 9 pm. what is this?! how do they expect us to get any work done with only 3 hr class periods while taking 7-9 classes throughout the week. you are insane, bezalel. i also do not like being nagged by police officers. i was on such a good working mood too.

that's all i really have to say, so here are pictures of the upcoming work:

avi made this metal structure
in a different location
this is my corner. i like it. it's my baby.
