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.

introduction to my life-bits

I like to read other people's blogs and to hear about the small details of their lives. Today I was thinking about how much things change in people's lives. I was thinking about how many things have changed in my life over the last few years, especially since 2002, and think that it might be worthwhile to think about life-bits, the small details of life that make up the whole.

I'd love to hear about your routines and days and the small details of your lives, please feel welcome.
