My environs - in color!

No, my camera is not yet functional. Rather, Devorah Nitsun very kindly lent me hers, as we are going on a school trip to Eilat tomorrow and I thought it would be a shame not to get at least one picture of me on a camel. In any case, I thought I would treat you to some images of my daily life. First, the classroom, where I spend most of my time. The view upon entering. Please note the plants in the bottom right corner. Besides our learning, of course, they are our pride and joy. We even did our Chanukah play about Stanley (the plany in the background). Then, there's me, studying dilligently (well, kind of, since the shot is posed), next is the view that I see every day, and finally, there's Rochel Grossman, who is actually good friends with Chani Neuhaus (Bloch)! What a small world - she sits right next to me! What a cutie!































































Okay, next is the apartment tour (well, the truncated apartment tour, since I wasn't exactly going to photo each room....or the laundry room, for that matter). First is our "foyer," complete with welcome sign, tzaddik (righteous rabbi), Blessing for the Home, and picture of Jerusalem. Next is our hallway board, which includes information, prayers, toranut (chores) chart, inspirational quotes, contact info, etc. Ah, the kitchen. This was actually the reason for the move from building two (I just came along with my friends). Aside from the classroom, this is where I spend a lot of my time. Often there are delicious smells wafting in from here, greeting me as a walk in the apartment. Note the wicker shelf close to the toaster oven - this is a new acquisition from the 6th floor. It makes a world of difference. We are also the only floor with a couch. I may be biased, but I definitely think it's the most heimish kitchen on campus.




















































































Here's a picture of a lot of St. Louis girls at Leah Sipple (Grunberger)'s Sheva Brachos. I'm not sure I spelled that new name correctly - apologies for the error!

That's it- next update - from Eilat!
