Last day of classes :(

Remember all of those 'firsts' in the beginning of the year? Unfortunately, it's coming time for all the 'lasts.'
I've come a really long way since then.  http://sarasisraelexperience.blogspot.co.il/2011/09/first-day-of-classes.html

Last night we had a party for Rav Yonatan, one of the teachers that we were closest with.  We bought him a salmon fillet for dinner from Cafe Rimon because on Sundays and Thursdays he always eats dinner with us and he always tells us that he hopes there will be "steak and chips."  He also told us that his favorite food was salmon so once we asked him which he liked better, steak or salmon, and he said salmon, so that's why we got him salmon and French fries.  Our Chumash BeIyun class were the ones closest to him because we had a three hour class with him twice a week and we all had at least one other class with him.  We set up a nice table and then laid out the food so it would look all pretty.  When he came in, he was so surprised and so happy! We reminisced about memories that we had and people who came and left the class.  The survivors of the class were me, Amy, Sharona, Adi, Esther, Eliana, and Rinat.Today was our last class with him.  We learned for a little bit and then he gave us lemon squares that he baked which were really yummy.  We then talked about things that we enjoyed learning and what we got out of the class and things that he might be able to do that would be better for next year.

During lunch, Jane made an announcement that at 1:30 we would all meet in the main square where we would be doing a flash mob to one of our favorite Harova songs that we all knew that words and movements to.  At 1:30, we were all standing around with our Israeli flags waiting to start but nothing was happening.  I found out that they were frantically looking for a place to plug in the speakers and eventually they found a place.  The flash mob started but it wasn't very well organized so our entrances didn't work out so well and then our flash mob was crashed by a group of random Asians!  Anyway, it was still a lot of fun.
Tonight, a whole bunch of us went to a party at Chani's house.  We started off the night with a talk from Chani's dad who is really cool.  Then came the food because what's a party without the food! We had really yummy crepes with lots of different toppings.  Then we just talked about funny memories that we had from this year.

I'm writing this just as I came back from cleaning out the school building from all of my books, notebooks, papers, and other stuff.  It was really sad to see it emptying out and carrying all of my stuff to be packed away.  I also took out my suitcases and am going to start packing tomorrow. Don't worry, I've still got a little bit more to write.  Shalom V'lehitraot!
