days when the alarm bells toll 1

Let's start with the days when the alarm bells toll.


Mondays and Thursdays
So, I am about 3 weeks away from finishing the first semester of my masters in urban and regional planning. I go to school twice a week and to work three times a week. On Mondays and Thursdays, I wake up at 6:00am and leave the house by 6:20am and take a bus and train and shared taxi/bus to the Technion Israel Institute of Technology campus in Haifa (about 2 hour commute) on a small forested hill in the Carmel mountain range. I have class from 8:30am to about 6:00/6:30pm and then make my way back to Tel Aviv (another 2 hours...) Man, those days are long. Especially the ones that only have a one-hour break from 8am to 6:30pm because my professors don't really pay attention to the clock. They can talk about urban planning forever.
