. . . And sometimes you close your eyes / / And see the place where you used to live . . .
OMG My awesome F-list, I cannot believe how long it has been since I updated last. I hope you haven't forgotten me, but I won't blame you if you have!
I am indeed here in Israel. I live in Chedera, in an apartment. I have gone to school, which was probably the hardest thing I ever had to do... I have been at the same school since age 3. But I started. And it was good, surprisingly. People are really friendly and nice, and they find it amazing that I come from Australia. They are used to immigrants from Russia and stuff, but I am special =)
They are also amazed at my reading and english speaking. Coolio. I have only been here a week, so hopefully it will all turn out okay... Still scary.
My biggest patient is that I am inpatient. I am just scared I will end up the stupid loner with no friends... but just breathe Jodi. Still only a week. *breathes*
I have also become friends with a family relative- I think she is my dads cousins daughter. Or something. But she is so amazing and nice, so it is cool. Friends outside of school = yay
The language thing is kind of hard. Can you believe MATHS is one of the only things I understand? Could be because I have done what we are doing already, but still! I have lots of hebrew lessons, and I can have a conversation. Its actually pretty funny. The only problem is classes- I just don't know whats going on. But oh well.
Okay. So yes. It feels kind of good to be here. Its the home country, I guess.
Um. I don't know. I guess you would assume there would be more news, but its all kind of settling down. I have reading reccomendations- Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson and Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli. Both are just... Wow.
And songs on my mind include everything by Panic! At the Disco, When You Were Young by the Killers, The Black Parade, by My Chemical Romance and, surprisingly, Hurts, by Christina. I haven't heard her for ages, but seriously, I cannot hear this song and not cry. Wow. So good.
A quick question for my House friends. What is the best way to download? Limewire, or like, a community here?
I miss Australia more then I thought I would. Everytime I hear a refrence, I think of it. And I miss my friends. And I miss my sister the most. sometimes I will see or hear something that reminds me of her and I get a big lump in my throat that I have to swallow. Buh.
I want news my friends! I am so sorry I haven't been on lately to reply to your awesome lives. But unpacking is HARD. I miss you guys.
xoxoxo
LOADS OF TEH LOVE
