The Journey begins.
I spent a lot of my last year wondering what I would do. My decision would oscillate between wanting to go further with Psychology, wanting to get into agriculture, and then Jewellery Designing. By the end of the year, Jewellery Designing was fixated in my mind. I made sure it got that way.
However, there has always been a whole part of me that has wanted to spend a while studying abroad. Kibbutz seemed like the perfect idea. It started as one of those things you think of for a while and let go. At some point, I did let go, but then I got back onto wanting to do it.
I'm pretty sure about Kibbutz happening, even though there is a lot left for me to do in order to make it happen. But right now, I'm concentrating on Szarvas.
So to a lot of my non-Jewish friends this whole thing gets very confusing. Let me explain:
Kibbutz is a 6 month programme at Israel. I'll be going for that in October. *crosses fingers*, and Szarvas camp is a camp at a town called Szarvas in Hungary. This camp has 4 sessions and goes on for 2 months. Each session lasts 2 weeks. I'll be attending Session 1 and this thing called pre-camp. Hence, I'll be there for 3 weeks. Sounds good?
Travelling has also been something I love doing, and this year gives me that opportunity, For now, my travelling begins with Szarvas. I know that it's not travelling travelling, but I like it better this way. One of my favourite things about travelling is meeting new people and believe me Szarvas camp makes me feel like I've travelled all of east Europe because of all the people that come there. This is my second time there, and I'm even more excited because now I know what I need to concentrate on there and what I need to learn from it, and not to forget, I'll be meeting all my friends after a whole year! Not everyone gets a chance to go again and I'm thankful for whatever it is that has played a part in me getting this chance.
Most of you who will bother to read this are people who I love and care about a lot. If it were in my hands, you would be with me on this trip (you know how attached I can get), but since it's not, I'll do as much as I can by describing my experience in as truthful a way as possible. Please do realise that I miss you and I'd be only over-joyed to hear from you. Write to me. You can comment here, and if that's not working or you have something personal to say to me (yay!), you know my email address. If not, slap yourself, and here it is: nuttyangel991@gmail.com
Also, there always is Facebook. I will mostly NOT be checking Orkut.
I leave in 2 days, I'm thoroughly excited, and I still have a lot of shopping left!
Wish me luck!
