#OlehProblems: Bituach Leumi

I just received my first paycheck from my job and I am not eligible for Bituach Leumi, I asked my job not to pay it and they still took it out claiming it is the law.  Now I have to go to Bituach Leumi's office for the refund and I'm pretty sure they're just going to send me back to my job in which another co-worker told me the job refunded them.  #olehproblems

#OlehProblems: Studying in English

My hebrew isn't good enough to study in hebrew, so I went with english. Number one problem: when the lesson slides have more typos than my 6 year old cousin's homework. #olehproblems

#OlehProblems: Speaking Hebrew

sometimes it's hard to understand certain hebrew phrases that can't be translated to english...that being said, if already then already. #olehproblems

#OlehProblems: Names

Because I have 2 very Israeli parents, I have a very Israeli first, second (NOT middle), and last name and it hasn't ever been easy growing up in America. Doctors offices, public schools, etc. (substitute teachers were the worst).
Excited to be in Israel where my names are at least pronounceable, I STILL had a hard and confusing time with all three of my names. They would get mispronounced a lot. Because words in Hebrew have 12 different ways to say it.
The army was also a mess when my commanders would call my one name and my friends knew me by the other. Talk about identity crisis. #identitycrisis #olehproblems
