Whoosh! This is it. After counting down for over six hundred apprehensive days (not exaggerating), the day has arrived and I have no idea what to do. As mommy repeatedly and continuously calls up to me that my Rocky Mountain Toast is ready, I look around my room for the last time in 2011. Two months ago from today was Rosh Hashana. I will not be returning back here for that same amount of time. Rosh Hashana feels like so long ago! It's 9:27 am; If I was at school right now, I would be struggling through an hour and a half long Latin class. It's crazy that I won't be walking through those nasty, gargantuan Spranggs doors for two months. Well, I think mommy's about to eat my Rocky Mountain Toast so I better head off... to Israel! Wish me luck on making friends, hopefully I do not need it though.
with love :)
I'd love some rocky mountain toast right about now...
ReplyDeletehope you're having a great time so far! I'm also pretty sure that I posted this song on my old livejournal before one of my long trips abroad.
Enjoy every moment of your trip, don't look back to the U.S. You will be back here before you know it. These will (most likely) be the best two months of your life thus far and they will fly by. One of my favorite words in Spanish is "Aprovechar" which means "to take advantage of." When I was in Argentina I said this to myself every single time I did not feel like doing something. This is the time to do things, take advantage of such an amazing country and do things you would never normally do! Don't worry about the people back home, we will all still be here when you get back.
have fun, be safe, and APROVECHAR! =)

The house is strangely quiet. There is no one for me to yell upstairs to that dinner is ready. No one for me to wake up and make sure they get to school on time. A weird feeling. I miss you...I hope you are adjusting to the time change and your new schedule. Keep the posts coming so we can experience your adventures with you. Love you xoxo Shalom
