Last full week of hebrew course.

Nearly finished. OH GOD. 
Soon enough i'll be in the regular army, no more days filled with classes a real unit. With Israelies talking at super speed. The same girls that i'll be with for a at least 2 years. 
Actually....that sounds kindof great!

 And here we finally have a photo of  my entire group. Including my two mefakedot... I love this one the most because of how funny it is. I did think it was a little too sunny to come out nicely. (by the way, the mefakedets are on the left. The tall. blondish one is the hebrew teacher and the one almost behind her making a "the sun is incredibly bright face" is my general yell at you all the time one.)

The first few days of the week were geared towards getting us ready for our job interviews. Being mahal however i didn't have to worry. Which obviously means i worried more...

We finished off our very last zionist classes, our last history classes and even our last hebrew class.

The photo above is from another trip we took which was aimed at letting us visit places that we'd learnt about.

Hannah senesh for instance is an incredible women who we learnt alot about during the course. In the photo we are next to her kibbutz, because of course all the zionistic people back then came to live, build and help on kibbutzim....there was nothing else.

Apart from the last classes and tours the atmosphere certainly has changed. Myself for instance i can feel that i'm different. First i'm speaking less hebrew to english speaking friends, paying less attention and generally not being such a fantastic soldier. I can guarantee i will not be getting a best soldier award.
I'm not really sure why I'm acting differently, like a switch was flicked but something certainly changed! You'd think the fact that i noticed it would mean i can change it back...but apparently not.
Received 3 1/2 hours punishment for the last 3 weeks just yesterday. THAT IS SO MUCH.

On the course though, i won't lie and say i love my group or that it is all fantastic. But i have become very comfortable at Michve and though i'm very much looking forward to my new unit. I am nervous. Overall we've got a really good bunch of girls, and really my mefakdot are awesome.

SIGH.

Right now i'm with Julie and Tony (so cool right). Even got given tomorrow off army to be with them.
Tuesday i've got my ceremony, as before i beleive that no one will becoming. But i've been thinking, its ok. I've got friends, i did always know that that would be the hard thing about being a lone soldier. Because lets face it, most of the time i don't see any difference. But on the ceremony ,eveyone has someone...and you dont have anyone.

On that note.
on the day of the ceremony I'll be given my paper saying where and when i need to report to someone to have my interview for jobs, i'm really hoping i get a few days off because i want to go into my next unit (which hopefully is Caracal--to begin the path to Oketz) with full energy and give my absolute best.

Tell next time....
All my love, Louise
