The Challange & I

Good morning everyone!

I want to thank Leo for thinking I'm an interesting person and tagging me.

Let's get started!

11 fact about me:
1. I refused to eat fish until last year (when I was 20), and except fish I've never eaten sea creatures (and ever will).

2. In the 11^th grade I worked in a shoe store in Dizengoff Center mall in TLV. I could still come up to a lady in the street and tell her the company and the model of her shoes (e.g. Republic 805).

3. I hate my name, but I'll never change it.

4. I used to sing in the conservatory quire for 10 years (I'm a mezzo-soprano), and was even a soloist. I graduated in 2012 and got a 95 score in my Bagrut in singing.

5. In the 10^th grade I hosted a girl my age from L.A for 3 months! I couldn't stand her and I waited for her to leave.

6. I used to work as a guide in a summer dog training camp for kids in kibbutz Afikim, near the Kinneret.

7. My feet are not the same size (R-37, L-38), but I do manage to buy shoes. True story.
(Taken from a diary of a shoe seller in Dizengoff Center)

8. I'm an only child, and so I promised myself to have at least 3 kids.

9. In addition to my skills in teaching, I'm also a professional makeup artist.

8) It's my third year at the college, and my favorite course so far was actually in the Hebrew department, 'leshonot bemaga' (languages in contact?!). It dealt with the unique consequences of having two or more languages spoken in the same time in the same place.

9) see side, because I grew up next to Metzitzim beach in TLV, and it makes me feel at home (remind me again what am I doing in Jerusalem?!).

10) Definitely beer. Carlsberg, please. :P
