Someday…”life is good” won’t be such a conditional statement.
For now, however, under the conditions at hand, in this very moment…Life is good!!!
There’s more to come on the freakish level of excitement I’m experiencing about my plans for the coming year, but for now…a thought.
Why is it that I can’t find a way to verbalize an answer when someone stands in front of me and asks “why Israel?” I sometimes forget that not everyone gets it. I forget that there’s just an understanding between people who DO get it that can’t be explained to those who don’t. I’ve been questioned by my own family for days: Are you sure you’re not just geographically changing your life to escape your problems? Are you sure you want to commit to a whole year…what if you get over it after a semester?
You don’t go to israel to escape yourself. Well, at least, I’m not. I’m going to do just the opposite…FIND MYSELF. And although I’m not ruling it out, I highly doubt that I’ll be ready to come home in January.
If all goes my way (and I’ll be HEARTBROKEN if anything screws this up)…I’ll be moved into my dorm at the University of Haifa by the first week of October.
Life is good.
