So I'm here at my neighbor's house babysitting from about 8am until 5pm. We made a list of things to do and we had a lot of fun doing them, right now one is watching tv while the other one naps.

I'm supposed to send my packages today to MADRE, the organization that helps women and their children all over the world, to send to Nicaragua because of the devastating hurricane. The other one goes to Guy in Israel, Giora's little brother, since it's his birthday in like a few weeks! He's turning 12...he's going to be a teenager next year!

and I'm sending a letter with about 20 pages to my boyfriend in Israel, poor Arnavi, he only gets a letter this time :( lol the package goes to Guy.

Rosh Hashanah is coming up soon! I already bought the cards to send to Giora's family :) and

RAMADAN MUBARAK! to all my fellow Muslims.
Grandparent's day is on the 7th for those who are out of it so remember to send at least an email to all the grandparents you know :)

I was going to send one to Giora's grandma but then realized that it would never get there on time so decided to just send an email and instead send the Rosh Hashanah card direct to her home.

So I was txting with Arnavi (means bunny in Hebrew, also Arnav or Arnavon) and he went to the pool late at night and now he's sick :( so I'm kinda worried since I don't want him to be in pain.

He's coming home in about two days though so that's a relief.

School is starting on Thursday, am I ready? of course! I've been ready for a while. I just need to finish a few little things for my English class and I'm done.

Freakonomics is a great book btw, I recommend it. I'm also sending it to Giora as soon as Mr. Starnes-Cardoza (His wife hyphenated his name, why can't I hyphenate hers to his?!) says we don't need it anymore.

Here is the front so you know what it looks like:



I'm ready to start my school year with straight A's!

(then again that's what I said last year lol)

I'm very excited.

About Haiti and the situation over there, I highly recommend reading these blogs of volunteers in Haiti:

ahh! It's going to be one year since Giora and I first started being boyfriend and girlfriend and also since we met at Knotts. I'm so happy and grateful to have such a wonderful person to share everything with.

Look at his face!

Giora at the Tet Festival

lol we had a great time at the Tet Festival that day. Didn't find out the vegetarian people were part of a cult until a month later but it was ALL RIGHT! lol

and remember the old Iroquois saying..

"In every deliberation we must consider the impact on the seventh generation... even if it requires having skin as thick as the bark of a pine."


and with that I leave you all to think about our futures and keep trying to make this world a better place, even if the idea of such thing sounds completely illogical and hopeless.
