Dear me... lunch... it's 22:30 over here, I'm debating with myself whether to
stay up s'more or go back to the dorms and catch up on some sleep. (Or maybe
gabbing, instead of sleep.)

Oh, certainly. It's very interesting. I'm wrestling with this now mesself,
see, the camp is mostly foreign kids, so they either speak English as their
first or second tongue, but many don't know Hebrew... So when we're walking
around campus, or outside campus, I find myself talking to people in English
AND Hebrew... mixing them up together... too many mental switches, bad for
head, 'specially when I haven't been getting that much sleep. (the camp's 5-6
hrs. is an *improvement* over the average 3 per night that I've had for the
past 18 days... ;-)
But here I am rambling about Israel when we were talking about camp... no,
wait... oh man, I need sleep. <grin>
-Shirrrrri, as people here call me. (the right way!)
