I have been in Israel for what had felt like forever, and at the same time feels like I just got here. I have made some changes that still haven't sunk in and began living in conditions I am not used to. I share a small rooming space with 3 other girls as well as a little bathroom. At home I have my own room and bathroom and always have. I spend a lot of time by myself at home, here I don't get a chance to. I go to school for almost 11 hours a day. At home school was 7 hours a day. I eat food I would never touch at home because I have other options. I do community service every Friday, at home it was more of a monthly occasion. I hear other languages being spoken to me constantly. The list of changes could go on. I Recently I have been a little homesick. Well... a little more than a little.
But tomorrow my daddy gets here to visit me and I am more than excited! His birthday was today so little does he know while he is sitting on planes and airports, I am here planning a surprise for him. I have got the presents and decorations and everything all panned out! I didn't think I would miss my parents, but after not seeing my dad in over a month, I feel like another week without him and I would combust. I am counting down the seconds till his arrival.
Countdown: 18 hours : 17 minutes : 40 seconds
I am so happy you will have time with your dad. I am excited for both of you. Yes, your life is so much different now. I am glad you are having this experience to grow. It is often a little painful. Boy, do I know it. But growing pains will soon be left behind and the beauty of your true self will shine. I love you forever!
