Last night was a nightmare.
It was one of those nights when I couldn't stop thinking about stuff that I knew upset me. And I was getting more and more kind of arghhh about it all and then I cried and then I went to sleep. And when I woke up I felt much better. Because everything seems worse before a sleep.
This morning, everything seems more optimistic. Par exemple: TICKETS TO WALES ARE BOOKED! Meeting up with Tom on July 18th. SO EXCITED.
Mais that is not all, non. The other day I decided what I want to do in summer 2011. I know it's two years away, but it's the sort of thing that needs to be planned in advance, so I need to think about it now. I'll have about 3 months off for summer that year, so I have decided to live in Israel for that time. Being a Jew living in Britain, I think it's an important experience to have. If I had gone to a Jewish school I would have already been on tours of Israel by now, but I don't go to a Jewish school so I have got to the age of 17 having never seen the country. I think it's really sad. My mum and dad are in their forties and THEY'VE never seen Israel. I don't want that to happen to me. Everyone I know who's done Israel tours say that it's life changing and that any Jew will feel instantly at home there. I'm not religious at all (I'm actually an athiest) but I have a very strong sense of Jewish identity (I see it as more of a club than a religion) and so it is very important to me that I see Israel. So summer 2011 I'm going to chuck myself in at the deep end and live there for a few months. What I think makes this even better is that I've decided that I'm going to spend the money I got for my Bat Mitzvah on this trip. Usually, this would have been put towards a car, but I don't want a car. So I'm spending it on Israel. I can't really imagine a more appropriate thing to spend the money on to be honest. It'll be well good.
