#1 I'm sorry. Not like Yom Kippur sorry (although, I guess I am THAT too..)--I mean, for all of you who have been... or were... reading my updates, I'm sorry. The days went by much more quickly than I ever thought they would and each time I had something to update about I seemed to put it off until I was too busy to update. Like I said, sorry.

#2 I'm back in Seattle. I left Israel on Monday and started school on Wednesday (yesterday). Needless to say, my room is a bit of a mess :-D Also, I had to wear a jacket for the first time in 3.5 months on Tuesday. But, seeing my friends and starting classes has made the transition a lot easier. Hard to believe I'm here and not in Netanya getting ready for work, but I know I'll be back soon!

#3 Sukkot started last night and I'm going to Spokane on Friday. Friday is Ariel's birthday, so even though he and Leora are in Chicago dealing with their own school and work issues (and Israel withdrawls!), I think it will be nice to celebrate with Mom and Dad. Of course, Saturday is Mom's birthday! Pretty good deal, eh? Sunday, I will drive back to Seattle and theoretically, things will be back in full-force.

#4 I miss Hebrew.
