It's hard to grow up


So, nothing has really changed since yesterday......I think this is what confuses me the most about blogging....what is nothing happens? Is someone really interested in the fact that after I wrote a post yesterday nothing else major has happened in my life? Lets see...I went to happy hour (got swamp ass), got my first two birthday presents ( a manicure and a pair of white chuck taylors) and fell asleep watching the new season of Project Runway. I'm bored just writing that.

I guess not everyday of an adventure is adventerous? I think that the next few days are going to be really hard and I'm putting off until the last minute possible...i know reallll mature. I don't want to say goodbye to my friends, I don't want to deal with packing or cleaning, and I'm nervous about bursting my comfort bubble. I know I started this whole ordeal because I realized I was in the "Delaware Comfort Bubble" but now that it is all happening, I'm starting to get nervous. What if I've made this huge mistake? What was I thinking.....I terrible at responisbility....I can't save a dime, I have too much temptation and not enough self restraint. These are all major factors that will play in to me getting my ass to another country.


Ah I can't think about these things now.........It's my birthday and I'm off to a weekend at the beach with my best friends............

It's my first time...


"Fill your life with as many moments and experiences of joy and passion as you humanly can. Start with once experience and build on it."- Marcia Wierder

My best friend Shiv gave me these little "Bliss" cards to open once a day and they each have inspirational quotes and are a nice way to start the day. The above quote was this morning's bliss and it didn't strike me until later that this pertains to exactly what I am doing in my life.....

I guess that is what this whole blog is "about" I've found my one experience and now I'm trying to build on it. My experience was going on my Birthright trip. For those who don't know, Birthright is an organization that allows Jewish youth between the ages of 18 to 26 to visit Israel for 10 days, and for me it has completely turned my world upside down. I now know what it means to be able to fall in love with a country. I can't imagine NOT going back to Israel and have now devoted all my efforts and energy in to getting myself back there.

One might ask, how do you plan on doing this:
1. Quit current, wonderful, and rewarding job
2.Move in with Sister, her husband and four nieces and nephews...and try not to kill myself
3. Complete TEFL course
4.Find job.......insert economy joke here...

But if I have the chance to see the below pictures everyday...it will all be worth it
