Time Has Flown

Time is flying!

In six weeks I will be leaving Israel and starting

my journey back to the States.

These last few weeks have been long days but the weeks are flying by. Rehearsals have been crazy with our student show coming up in 10 days. My schedule has consisted of rehearsals before our 9:30 class, costume and clothing orders during lunch hour, and 4-5 hours of rehearsals after classes are done for the day. I love being busy and the tiredness that comes each night when I give myself permission to come down off the all day adrenaline rush. In this crazy schedule though, I have neglected to stay in communication with a lot of my friends and family. As I say in Hebrew, Sleekha! (My skills are mad crazy, I know)

In the last few weeks we have had Holocaust Remembrance Day, Memorial Day, and Independence Day. Being here for Memorial Day really opened my eyes and heart. I could go on for a long while, but am getting ready to go back to rehearsal and this will never get up if I don't do it now. I will always remember this day and have learned so much from observing it here in Israel

Independence Day was the very next day, which was a huge shift and a little weird I think, but I spent the day at a Israeli style BBQ at Roni's house. I ate way to much (American style) played with her kids, and had a lovely day with friends.

I spent a weekend in Tel Aviv where we rode a bus to the boonies on accident, saw a great show, ate Indian food, walked in the rain, sat in a cafe for hours, shopped at the shuk, went with friends to get things pierced, slept in a not so great hostel, and haggled (in Hebrew) our way back to the kibbutz via bus/car. Good weekend.

My barber parlor is back in business. We got hair cutting scissors and the list of clients is long. The other day included 3 haircuts and 2 waxes. I really should be charging for this service. I could make a butt load;) I really want to do something to my own hair... I got the itch.

All in all, everything is going great, and I am soaking up my last weeks in Israel just in time for summer. (Got some nice sun time in this friday and I'll cherish it)

I've done my best to make my scattered thoughts make sense to more then just Stacylyn, who is an expert at deciphering my crazy emails, but in the now...8 mins I have taken to write this, you get what you get.

Six Weeks Left!
