Yep i can't believe i worked out how to put a link in....But anyway. A night of that, then an early morning-3 hrs sleep- i had my dog volunteering again. That's right, today i took Don back. I didn't tell him until right at the end though. Felt like such a traitor. It's really sad how many beautiful animals aren't loved. I just can't fully comprehend.
Feelings: 80% excitment, 20% nervousness.
Spent nearly an hour the other night just writing my name on everything and i'm talking everything. they suggested naming it all, so i took it literally...my deoderant can for instance. BIG לוא'סThat really helped to make it all real..i mean not only had i bought all this stuff but now everyone could see it was all mine. And why do i need 5 khaki shirts....?
As for a backpack i was very lucky to make friends with a lovely guy named Roy from the store where we bought the shirts. He lent me his knife (like a leatherman but starts with g or b or something, gerber maybe) and gave me until further notice a big backpack...very very useful and money saving! Need to finish packing that now actually.
Again i'm lucky for the friends i've made, my friend Daniel is allowing me to leave my stuff at his new place because my sublet here runs out this week. I'm on the waiting list for a lone soldiers apartment, something like 6 girls in an apartment and the army pays for everything you need..unfortunatly theres a 4 month waiting list. So between now and then i have a few options. Can stay at Beit chayal which is like a hostel but for lone soldiers, they have a rather bad reputation however. Or i can slum it with friends. I mean they would work something out for me no matter what but for now it seems best to stay with friends. And i'm only going to be off at the most every weekend. So hopefully i won't be too much of an annoyance.
Eh, what else is new....OH yeah. Spent an ENTIRE day on monday opening a bank account. You would not believe what a mission that is, go to this branch, no to this one, no to her blah blah blah, then all the paper work and signing. It is insane! Israel is just so caught up in this beauracracy and i don't see the advantage. I mean, do it if it's going to be the difference between things running smoothly or not but they don't. It's really a bad set up.
Anyway...i'm going to finish packing and head over to Daniel's now. Tonight i'm meeting with a few new friends who also start tomorrow. We met at a lone soldiers information day (which i am SO thankful for, they told us absolutly everything we needed to know, it was great also to know i wasn't alone). One of them i've been going on runs with, also great to put a little competition into the mix. my body was so very sore from the 50m soft sand sprints we were doing. Actually can't wait for that. You know when you've been at gym and then the next day you're sore in the new muscle way. I can't wait for that to be a constant state. The physical evidence that you are strengthening.
Till next time,
