With two minutes until the bus was scheduled to leave this morning and dripping wet from my shower, I threw on a t-shirt, pants, my north face, and CROCS without socks. I ran outside, with Yossi yelling after me that I would be too cold only to see that I was one minute late and the bus was gone already. Of all mornings for the bus to actually leave on time...
One 35 shekel cab ride with Ilana and Mari later, one "mezuyan!" Hebrew oral test later, one 30 shekel VERY wet and cold cab ride back with Debbie, I reveled in the pleasure of my own bed...until Abbie told me it was snowing.
Lots of joyous jumping ensued, and a snow party and snowball fight happened right away, of course. Everyone decided to go to the Old City and Yemin Moshe to see the snow but with call for West Side Story 75 minutes away I decided I didn't have time and took a quick walk downtown to see the area. It was mostly deserted but there were a few "only-in-Jerusalem" sights I saw, like a religious man holding out this big bright white and red polka dot umbrella over his daughter's stroller to keep her from getting wet while he meanwhile was getting soaked, teenagers in Kikar Tzion trying to show off to no one around, and so on.
When I got back I found out that the show for tonight was canceled (and rescheduled for Monday). It's nice to have a break but I'm hoping so hard that tomorrow night's show won't be canceled...that's when all my family and friends are coming and if the show is rescheduled for Tuesday, my family will already be back in the States...But it'd be nice if my Hebrew written final tomorrow was cancelled...
