I wrote this almost one week ago; my feelings are still the same.
June 23, 2010
The one thing I have become incredibly aware of is how present I feel. I notice and appreciate everything around me - my friends and family, the weather, the sounds, the conveniences, the EASE of my life. Maybe it's the routine. I know so many people and where I'm going. I am blessed to have many people in Israel that I love and I'm really looking forward to being with them. I'm sure I'll be able to find my way around but I'm taking a ton of Reese's pieces just in case!
It's nine days out and I think I'm done shopping! Most of my things are laid out. I must be forgetting something!!!
P.S. Another realization: I'm embarrassed to say that I was a little disappointed that I was going to miss the Half-Yearly sale at Nordstroms since it's held in July. But my brain is just working overtime here and I remembered that I can order online! After realizing that, I no longer have any fears about remembering Hebrew vocab, tenses or slang!

ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you and jealous at the same time! I think what you are doing is brave and wonderful. Whether you learn what you want, speak enough Hebrew, meet your expectations... the bottom line is, you will have a great time. I can't imagine you NOT having a great time at anything you do.
It was great to see you today. I wish we had more time together. We will make a point of it when you get back.
Have a wonderful time. I look forward to following your journey on your blog
xoxo
