7 Garbage Bags Later

Wednesday, June-30-10

Loved every minute of today’s day off. I think I’m going to try and keep Wednesday’s off from now on, it was really nice to get a break mid-week. Today I slept in, stayed in my pjs for much too long, and instead of going to the beach, the apartment got a much needed clean (re. the name of this entry). This evening the Tel-Aviv Chulniks all came over and we hung out, ate dinner, and made our schedule for the week to come. It was really nice to have people to share our calls with and to see everyone someplace other than outside Ichilov’s Emergency Room. Tomorrow at 3pm I begin my first double shift. It will definitely be an experience and hopefully I will get some interesting calls because it will be Layla Lavan (White Night) here in Tel-Aviv. I’m not really sure the reason behind it but tomorrow night stores, restaurants, bars, & clubs will be open all through the night as well as outdoor performances throughout the city. All I know is that there are going to be a lot of people, many of them drunk and that it should be a shift to remember. Hopefully it holds up to its name and by 7am on Friday I’ll have some awesome stories to add to my collection-that is considering I make it to the end of the shift still awake.
