Today was pretty much like yesterday, and the day before, etc. We had an improv hour in class today, which was excellent. In one part, we had to memorize a couple short lines from Waiting for Godot and then act them out for the class in different styles. My partner and I were very angry, boxers, and opera singers, and we got thunderous applause after each little part because we were totally great! I was shaking when I sat down though; getting up in front of people never ceases to terrify me (when I was in choir in high school I had the solo for a song that we performed and I spent the entire song trying not to show how much my knees were knocking together. Literally, knocking together). But it was fun too, and I was glad I did it and didn't punk out or just half-act.
I got a good grade on my test too, which sort of made my day. It's nice to know that despite the fact that I suck at grammar, I am still awesome at Hebrew.
Tonight I have to write an essay, and tomorrow I have an interview to help match me with an internship. I found some truly incredible places I would love to work with this semester: one of them is a bilingual school on the border of the Palestinian territory that teaches both Israeli and Palestinian kids together in the same classroom and I would get to tutor them in English. The other really awesome one is another tutoring gig, but with adults who need to improve their English before getting a degree in Education. And the last one is as a teacher's aide at a school for autistic kids. I'm so excited! I love teaching so much.
