!!OVERLOAD!!
Posted Dec 26, 2005
Gesus, Muhammad and Moses... what a workload!
I have 2 new, big projects in one work, and am overloading just trying to conclude the project at my other work.
And have to also give a few hours a a week to studying.
My girlfriend is really understanding about this though - sees me once a week and doesn't complain (much).
Just blowing some steam, back to work now.

A couple of year's worth of update
Posted Dec 9, 2005
Hi all,
I guess alot of you are angry with me.
You have a good reason to be.
I don't blame you.
I do apologise.
I think I'm back though. Was gone for a few years (except for a peek or two).
If It takes me too long to return, complaints are welcom at [email protected] as email or google talk messages/conversation.
Again, I will give an update of the last year+ that passed since I was here, and boy was it a busy year+.
Again, you can skip it by going past the 
s.
I guess I finished the last update when I got back from Scandinavia. I was there with my parents and my best friend - Yakir. When we got back to Israel, Yakir got sick again (Leukemia - Blood cancer).
A long time ago I decided I will study medicine one day, but never acted on it. On January I decided it was time I went to uni.
Getting into med school is not easy in Israel - I certainly didn't have the grades for it.
I went to the business of getting a good psychometric (Like the american SATs) grade - which ment studying about 11 hours a day for 3 1/2 months.
On the second month for this task, after 5 years of fighting the disease - Yakir died. I was left the only one in the world that got my jokes - I was left alone - Lost a brother.
I did get the high psych grade though, but still wasn't able to get into med school because of my school grades (which were good, but not of a high enough percentile to get into med school.
I went to uni as a Biology major.
Now - there's an option to try getting into med school based on academic acheivement in the uni, but you need a year's worth of courses for that, meaning, you can only apply after a year an a half in uni, and get accepted after two years. I'm too olf for this... with my grey hairs and all.
Since I did some math in the open university, and after all, I am a computer programmer, and a bonefied geek, I decided to do a year's worth of university in one semester - allowing me to get into the next year's.
I started searching for courses to do and ended up with a devestatingly busy week - having 2 and sometimes 3 classes at the same time (like harmiony in Harry Potter). I did all of the classes of 1st year biology (inc. extra points) and also took 3rd year and grad courses in Computer science and Physics - only those I was sure I already know the material for.
I had to get top grades on everything - couldn't miss a single course, and had to get it on the first test term - because grades had to be submitted before the second test term.
Also, in order to keep sain, I skipped all the physics classes and went to dance at the high academy for dance and music which is near the university (actuall, on the same campus).
After LOTS of hard work - I was successfull. and this year I started med school in Hadassa Jerusalem - which is a great hospital.
Since I did all those courses last year, I have verry few this year. I was planning to take some Computer science and 2nd year Med courses but I was offered a job at a great company (MobilEye) that makes computer vision products for the autormotive industry, so I am working there part time.
Parallel to all of this, I was (am) working for another company - which I hope will allow me to work with them throughout my degree.
This make my current life extremely busy - and my girlfriend (of 6 months) is complaining about it.
I still dance and teach dance a bit (only once a week).
I still do some photography work.
I'm still enjoying what I do, and life in general.
I decided to come back on h2g2 now - I missed you all.
in more recent news:
I Got back from reserve duty this week.
I'm sick.
My knee hurts.
I'm tired.
I have alot of work.
I complain too much.

Dancer Returns - Includes updates - pretty long one
Posted Oct 26, 2003
I was sitting here in front of an empty new jurnal entry for about five minutes and couldn't find a way to start. Obviously, you see how I solved this problem.
I was missing for a long time, then I peeked back for apologies and some hugs and disappeared again.
I didn't mean to worry you, but I just had alot to deal with and not much time on-line to share with you. I am sorry for this, because I did (and do) miss you.
I will start with the whole story of what went on in the last year or so, and it's quite alot, so if you want to skip it, you can just go read past all the s
So on January 2002 the company I worked at as a programmer was closed, and I had already stopped dancing with the Bat-Sheva Ensamble a couple of month earlier.
I was concentrating more on my photography, and dancing a bit with a couple of small groups. I also had a few tours (to Japan, Thailand and Greece).
I was living with Yael and earned a little money as a photographer. I think that's enough about 2003, and also the first part of 2004 was quite similiar. I was doing alot of things, but nothin was quite as deep as I wanted to.
I was programming a bit at home, Dancing a bit and performing, Teaching a bit of dance, and was actually doing quite well as a photographer.
I also started doing Capoiera again. I am in the Jerusalem ABADA CAPOIERA club.
This July Yael and I seperated. We did not plan to, but it seemed that we could be happy together for a long time, but we couldn't really be together forever, so it had to end sometime.
July and August were really hard. My 25th birthday was the saddest yet by all means.
On september I flew to Scandinavia for a month and a half and had a great and beutiful trip. You can read my trip's Blog at http://itai.intertent.net
I thought I could clear my head there, but actually, it is impossible to do intentionally, so I guess in good time it may or may not clear itself.
Right now I am going back to dance full time (Possibly with a group named DeDeDance).
I am working on two ?exhibitions? of my pictures for a couple of art galleries.
I am teaching a contemporary dance advanced class.
I am doing some freelance programming.
I take pictures of Dancers Dancing, and also other, less interesting (to me) pictures.
I am trying to get over the fact that Yael and I aren't together.
I am not asleep at 3:07AM
I am trying to get back on h2g2. If h2g2 will accept me back, that is.
I'm sorry if I worried you, and if I ignored you or made you think I forgot you. And even if I did forget you, I surely didn't forget about you.
Yours,
Dancer
