One Week Left

Sunday, August-01-10

Sorry I haven’t posted for a while, but truthfully not all that much has happened. I just had my last full weekend here in Israel. Spent it hanging out with family and friends, went to a birthday party, and to the beach. Really couldn’t have asked for anything more. Today I did a bit of shopping and realised that now I’ve ‘crossed over’ to the Hebrew side. What I mean by that is that instead of changing to English, store workers now rather speak to me in Hebrew. It’s definitely a nice feeling and probably one of the reasons I feel so comfortable here. Tonight I’m doing an overnight shift at מזא''ה-Mazeh with another chulnikit. It’s going to be her last shift and who knows, perhaps mine as well so we’re going to try our best to not be split up and to have some fun. It’s been weird with everyone leaving and finishing at different times and as another chulnik put it, the end was kind of anticlimactic. It almost sucks in a way, but in מד''א-MDA people are always coming and going so I guess it was too be expected, just like our arrival. Perhaps tonight I’ll also get to meet some of the new Tel Aviv chulnikim at Ichilov since they started their shifts today. For the rest of the week, I plan to hit up Jerusalem one last time and I’m still trying to organise a trip for a couple of nights to ים המלך-The Dead Sea, and then on my last night it’s my best friend’s 20th birthday. I’m hoping this is going to be week to remember because I have no idea when I’ll be back, life just happens. With that said, come on, החיאה-hachiya (CPR) tonight please.
