In early Septem ber, the Overseas Program moved from the trenches of Givat-Ram to the relative<br />
luxury of M o u n t Scopus. W e had the pleasure of m oving into B uilding 6. W ow , a sink, a m irror, and if<br />
you w anted to you could spin around w ith o u t h ittin g a bed. Life w as set. Of th e ten rooms on o u rflo o r,<br />
three w ere Israeli, tw o w ere Canadian, tw o w ere C alifornian (surfing rules, hang loose dude), and one<br />
room contained our Spanish continge nt (we are ja m m in ' w ith a Spanish accent is the true w ay to sing<br />
it), and finally, one room w ith an Am erican and an Israeli (the horror, th e horror to quote Conrad). A t<br />
once, w e all realised th a t our floor w as unique in th a t m ost of us never slept and th a t th e ground floor<br />
of B uilding 6 w as th e m ost happening M oadon on cam pus. The difference betw een us and our<br />
counterparts w as th a t w e never closed. The m ost com m on hour to be aw ake seemed to be 3 a.m., so<br />
w e com piled a list of th in g s to do at th is ungodly hour:<br />
10. Sleep<br />
9. Do shm ira<br />
8. Have Israeli neighbour yell at you about m aturity levels of people<br />
6. Last m inute cram m ing fo r an 8 o'clock exam<br />
5. Cook food (eggs, rice, or beef patty hand-outs)<br />
4. Play the old five on one (a very sim ple card game) \<br />
3. Sing old camp tunes<br />
2. Phone home<br />
1. Have a "frie n d " sleep over<br />
Since the preservation of fu tu re OYP generations, is th e flo o r's goal, w e hope this list can benefit<br />
them and serve them as it has served us.<br />
