10 minut episodes

It's amazing how time passes really fast when we divide it to small pieces.

I'm not sure where this thought is going to, but it crossed my mind while watching a series online called quarterlife. It's definitely not the most brilliant show, but it's interesting enough to get hooked on it. The big advantage of it is that it's aired only online, and I don't need a TV to watch it, and don't need to download anything illegally for that (and if you ask me it's the future of TV shows). anyway, each chapter is about 10 minutes (well each one is divided to 10 minute parts) and while watching it i noticed that 10 minutes pass really fast, and 10 min plus 10 min plus 10 etc. can really become a long time if one doesn't pay attention.

I can also say that about normal life- lets say that every period of time in life is a 10 min chapter. For example: my first course of German in the summer is one, the second chapter is my time in Israel in between, the third one is my second course that ended in January, the fourth chapter is the second course (which I'm ending on Friday) and the fifth chapter will be my week in Israel next week. When I booked this ticket to Israel, in September, and thought about this week I'm going to stay in Israel, it looked so far away, but now- looking back the time passed really fast. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that I had so many "chapters" in between, which made life more interesting. When I come to think about it- there were much more chapters than what I listed here: there was x-mass, there was my mom and sister's visit, there was Yifat's visit...

Rob is at his parents now for a week. They're actually on holiday abroad for a few weeks, but his little brother is home alone, so he went to spend some time with him. He finished his last exams ever this week, and it seemed like a big burden fell off of his shoulders. Now he only has to do a diploma theses. He's gonna do it in a different town, and gonna stay there 3 nights a week (at least) starting in April. It's gonna be in a really good institute, and it's something he's really interested in. I was very supportive that he does what's best for him. I still am. Just gonna be a bit weird being here alone most of the week. I guess I'll get used to it.

What makes me a bit insecure is especially the fact that I don't know what I'll be doing in April. I'm going to try to get into this free course that the uni is offering here, to the 60 best ppl who pass their German exam. Since I don't know if I have a chance to be one of the best 60, I'm not really putting much hopes on this course, but I would really love to take it- coz it's for free, and money as you know is something I don't really have right now. I know that I just need to sit on my ass and study a lot for it, and I will study, for sure, just the thing is... It's really hard for me to make myself study. It comes in periods for me. Sometimes I just get into this big motivation to study and sometimes I just feel like it's the last thing I wanna do. It never really correlates with the importance of an exam. Only with something inside that I haven't figured out what drives it yet. It's obviously all psychological, but it's way too deep to fix it alone.

Oh well...

Yoga is great, I've already been there 3 times this week and 2 the first week I signed in. This week I signed up for 3 classes as well. I just love it. I already feel a difference in my body, and in my soul.

Last week of this course. I must say that I'm glad. I'm sick of it. I don't suffer in class, but don't have much more energy for it. My male teacher (as apposed to my female teacher which is great) is driving me crazy. He thinks he is our mentor to religion subjects (he's an x-Tunisian) and it really makes me mad that he takes advantage of his position to let us know what he thinks. He was a really good teacher for a beginners class, but now when we actually know a lot more, I feel bored with him and sick of being in his lessons. Oh well. Only 3 more days with him. My other teacher, she's great, I love her, she really wants us to just simply learn the language, and even if it's in a fun way. Fun. A word my other teacher doesn't know...

Ok, it's late, and I still have homework to do,
Have a really good week you all.
