The Part Where the Posts Start to Stagger...

As the title suggests... this is the part of the trip where I start to lose blogging steam. Partially because I'm so behind on everything...I have like 10 hours of shows that are backlogged, I haven't kept up with movies (though Sarah and I saw Hunger Games last night... phenomenal), and I surely do not know what songs are hot right now (sorry, Mom, I can't help you update your iPod...). Also, I would rather not bore you with mundane work things. Not that my work things are mundane...because I'm awesome, and my job is exciting! Never a dull moment. I have graduated from researching, and now I am making posters and communications materials for the International Nutrition Conference in June. I guess new responsibilities is a part of getting older...(ps thanks for all the bday wishes)

Yesterday was a pretty cool/exhausting/utterly confusing day. Apparently on Mondays, my office has meetings in Tel HaShomer (Next to Ramat Gan and Tel Aviv). It is this GINORMOUS hospital complex. (And from what I gathered from the woman who drove me to the wrong bus stop after the meeting, it has classes, a museum, and a lot of research) I could be completely wrong, so here: Tel HaShomer.

The meeting was 5 hours long... 88% in Hebrew. My brain hurt afterwards. It was really interesting to observe. The meeting was about different food pyramids from around the world, and how Israel should update theirs. I understood 1.5 presentations. Namely because they were from my office, and I did the research for them. Also, because my boss gave me her slides on Sunday and I translated them. At one point, a dog came in from the back of the room, trotted up to the front to the podium, sniffed around, then left. #onlyinIsrael

When it was over, I took a bus back to Jeru and a 2nd bus to the Malha Mall to meet Sarah. We went to go see Hunger Games last night. Phe-no-me-nal. Ok, that's all the boring stuff I have for you this week. We're going to Ein Gedi this weekend, so hopefully I will have pictures and stories for you!
