On comfort

Hello everyone!

I have no new pictures to show today, but I am leaving on Thursday for a 4-day trip to the Galilee, after which I will definitely have new pictures up!

This will be a quick blog because I'm pretty tired and want to go to bed, but I just want to give a quick update. I went to McDonald's tonight! I admit it... I don't have to be proud of it, but there it is. I really wanted to get some food that I recognized, somewhere that I could choose what I wanted to eat--and Mickey D's was the answer. My friend Zach and I went into the New City; he went to Burger King and I went to McDonald's, and we met in the middle for a nice little evening picnic on the street. It was very exciting, because I really love the city, and especially at night. So that's the other part about comfort that I want to mention. I just feel more and more at home here, and it's really exciting to me. I am really looking forward to this weekend trip, and looking forward even more to being here all year and being able to experience so much more than just three months. I'm pretty happy about my life here, let's be honest. I'm also realizing as I blog how much tireder I am than I think--I was just working on a paper, which generally saps all energy from my brain pretty quickly. I have about a 45-minute attention span, I have discovered... and after a few 45-minute sessions, I am starting to make less and less sense. So I think going to bed immediately if not sooner is my plan of action. Good night all!

PS The moon is super beautiful tonight; if I wasn't so tired, I would take a picture of it and post it here!
