49 days and counting

Yes, yes I know I have been kind of out of things for a while. With school ending and all I have been busy with various activities.

Here are how things stand now. Aliyah is in 49 days. Only two more nights of sfira to count :) I have gotten one acceptance- Ben Gurion- and still have not heard back Bezalel and Technion (not even about interviews) but none of my choices are bad choices so I would be perfectly content going to BG. It is possibly even my first choice. It is insane to think how things are actually coming together. I never thought this would happen and now that it is happening it isn't happening like I thought it would. But honestly, what North American thinks they are making aliyah to Beer Sheva?

Almost There

It's my last week of school. One more project, one more class, then freedom. It's so close and yet so far. So much tweeking and fine tuning and perfecting to do.
It will all go so fast after that. I keep trying to picture my room with nothing in it and it's really hard to do. I guess I will have to wait and see.

56 days until Aliyah.
3 more days of school.
40th day of the Omer and still in the game :)

2 months!!!!

I am leaving in two months! Don't know where I am going yet, but I know I am leaving. I am not even excited- it just doesn't feel real. That and I am so worn out from grad show and now that that is over I have corp ID to worry about. But May 21st at 12:31 I am no longer a student and have to get my future in check. Actually, I will have what to study as I am working to get certified as a yoga instructor but that is different. Seriously though, I am going to have to kick it up and get stuff figured out. Maybe I will just buy a surfboard and build myself a fort on the beach...

Rollercoaster

Five days till grad show, 69 until aliyah, 26th day of the omer and still in the game. I have business cards and most of my work printed. Time doesn't know if it wants to move quickly or slowly. It is driving me insane. I miss the gym, I miss hanging out with friends, talking on fb chat and gchat, I miss being able to breathe. I still can't decide whether May is going to be be the fastest or slowest month of my life. I also miss thinking straight. I need sleep.

One more down, 2.5 to go!

April is over! There is currently a massive, red, construction paper X going through the April box of my calendar. It is quite intense. Actually everything is quite intense at the moment. Grad show is a week away and I am not even close to ready. In a Marnina first I disabled chat on both fb and gmail so I have no distractions- I have no idea if this will help as just knowing they are inactive is itself a distraction. On top of grad show corp ID is killer and hugely stressing me out. It would probably be less stressful if I did not need to keep grades up for grad school but honestly I refuse to allow myself to get a C at this point.

May is going to go fast. I will be most happy when it is done and I will have a month and a half to chill with my friends, do Yoga, prepare for aliyah, bike and just be relaxed. Of course I assume once June kicks in I will be über-stressed about the whole impending homeless situation. You never win :)
