actually, i believe that he is the leader of china 🙂

k not much too add, i think e/o really covered it but a few comments from the peanut gallery…

shabbos outfits-most pple end up wearing the same thing a few weeks in a row. if you don’t like the idea of doing that, you still should NOT bring a lot-that’s what roomates are for! several girls in my sem had an open closet policy, and on friday mornings four or five girls could be found by my roomates closet checking out the selection. by the end of the year, n/o even remembered which thing belonged to who (except for the owners) on that note- i know it sounds fifth graderish,but jsut hte same LABEL YOUR CLOTHES!!! they’ll get lost! nad if 5 girls have wet black medium bizes hanging up in the laundry room, you prob won’t know whose is whose… especially label shells!!!! when you share a load you don’t want to be stuck with that shell that neither of you is positive about!…

re shampoo and stuff… it’s been said a bunch of times, but i’ll say it again-buy it there!!! if in the middle of the year you get fed up with the israeli brands cuz they aren’t working (not that i’ll mention names or anything) then you can buy certain american shampoos over there-and they’ll even have hebrew on em, so you won’t feel like your missing out! 🙂 but mousse, yah,

bring rain boots! very essential item!

make sure to have a few shirts besides tiyul shirts and button downs… unless you don’t mind button downs, in which case never mind. but if you do mind, you’ll def want a few shirts for vacations days or you ended class early or your goin out but it doesn’t warrant rosh chodesh clothing, but button downs/tiyul shirts won’t work

FLASHLIGHT!!!!

if you plan on doing yam l’yam, bring really good sneakers!!!

leggings! they are pretty impt to have on a tiyul climbing up a mountain/ladder/etc

oh, also laundry can get expensive, so several girls and i bought a basin and hand washing detergent (i believe the label said “textile shampoo” to be exact) and did most of our laundry like that-it’s hot! things dry really really fast! and in the winter you can probably find some place to hang your things to drip dry.

like candy said, a positive attitude, determination to make it work, and just remember-you’re all in the same boat! everyone else is pretty much just as confused as you are, even those that don’t show it… (you’ll be pretty shocked by some girls’ memories of the first few days-those you thought had it all together… well uh, didn’t);)

b’hatzlacha! get ready for the most fantabulous year!

giggle girl and i are talking about the same person :0)BUT i don’t actually know her cousin, or who msk is, so i have no idea if we’re talking about the same person! :0)

The parents look, and so do the kids. Does a kid really need to have years of report card comments that all say the same thing- “a pleasure to have in class” or something that basically says in fancy language “is smart”? B”H not the opposite for either of those, but…it hurts. Sometimes the parent cares more,and sometimes less, but the child almost always cares, regardless of whether he/she admits it. Thank you to all those that work so hard! I know it’s hard, and there are a lot of comments to make, so I’m not complaining (even though it sounds that way, sorry!)and I really appreciate all that all of my teachers have done for me, so if you’re here, thanks! (sorry observateen, not trying to copy you) :0)
