Last night was one of those 'I can't stop smiling' nights.  There was just so much that kept making me happy, and I had a great night.  Our group tends to have a problem with being on our computers (walk into our living room at any given point and you'll see people lined up on the couch, all using their- most likely Mac- laptops) but last night we were all sitting around the table playing games and talking and laughing.  When we went to bed, my two roommates and I stayed up talking and eating chocolate for a while.  At one point, I walked into another room to throw a pillow at Alyson, kiss her on the forehead, and leave.  No explanation was needed; we're that kind of people.
To be perfectly honest, sometimes I can't stand these people.  But sometimes I love them all despite everything, and I want to spend as much time as possible with them.  I know I'll be sad when we move in a week, because we have an amazing group here.  There's something about living with people, going to classes with them, learning Hebrew with them, shopping with them, cooking dinner with them, traveling Israel with them, having debates about issues and politics and cultures and problems with them, and just spending all our time together that forms this incredible bond.  If we can get through this last week without losing it and offing someone, we'll have had an amazing two and half months together in Karmiel.  Despite the boys having made the entire apartment smell like pickles.
