I am in Israel

Welcome to my blog. Hopefully I will keep up with this even though I have little time here and do not enjoy writing. I would also like suggestions or questions about the Yeshiva where I am staying so I will have something to write about. So whoever is reading this, please comment.
I am sitting here in my room before Shabbat and thinking about what to say on this first blog of mine. I guess I should say a little about where I am staying. The Yeshiva is called Darche Noam and the boys program, which I am in, is called Shapel's. It is a very nice building with a kitchen area, a place to learn and then a lot of rooms. A lot of the students here stay in the building so everyone gets to know each other relatively quickly. I live with two other guys in a room that has it's own shower and facilities. A normal day here starts at 7 AM. Everyone goes downstairs for Shacharit (morning prayers). That usually lasts until 8. Then we have breakfast until 9. From 9 until 1 we learn Talmud (roughly speaking the oral Torah). I am learning the second chapter of Bava Kamma which explains all the laws of damages. For instance, if my animal damages something, what do I owe the owner of the item my animal damaged? At 1 we have lunch and then a break until 2:40. At 2:40 we have mincha (afternoon prayers), which usually goes until 3, and then we learn until 7:20. The learning in the afternoon includes Chumash, Halacha, Talmud, and Hebrew. From 7:20 until 8 there is dinner. Following dinner we learn until 9:45. The learning at night is not scheduled but is more of a casual "learn whatever you want" time. At 9:45 we have Maariv (evening prayers) and then the day is officially over. Most people learn after dinner for a bit. I usually learn until 12 and then go to sleep. It sounds like a lot of learning, but every day I go to sleep wishing I spent even more time learning.
Other random information about the Yeshiva. The food is excellent, which was a very nice surprise. They make sure to keep us relatively healthy by supplying fruits and vegetables at lunch and dinner. The people here are very nice and are all enthusiastic about being in Israel and especially in yeshiva, which gives everyone a very positive attitude.
I have taken mini-trips around Jerusalem to pick up random things and to see places. I have been to the Kotel (Western Wall) twice and have taken a bus to Mea Shearim to get very cheap Hebrew books. I have seen many friends from home, some who are learning with me at the Yeshiva and others who are on trips here. It is getting late and I have to get ready for Shabbat. I hope everyone is doing well back in America and I would just like to say I am having a wonderful time so far in the holy land but I miss everyone from back home so please write!
