YAY! I have another blog. Let's be honest, I don't know how this whole blog thing actually works. I could probably just make one single blog with everything on it, but what's the fun in that?
You're right, it's not fun.
So...
Here I am. About to graduate college in May (I CANT WAIT!!!) and 11 days after I graduate I will be off to Israel for a month! Yes, that's right, ISRAEL!!!! Which is another thing I cant wait for.
I found out this week that I was accepted to go to Israel with Chosen People Ministries. Which is really great, they will be an awesome organization to go to Israel through. I will be in a team of 10 and we will be based in Jerusalem. Traveling throughout the country we will be serving and soaking up the Israeli culture.
I have a Religious Studies minor, and legitimately, this trip will be the culmination of my minor. The only classes I've taken for the minor relate to Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Well, isn't that swell. Israel seems to be the Mecca of these three Great Religions. (pun intended).
I am excited to emerse myself in a new culture again and hopefully meet lots of fun locals. I am also excited to do some more "soul searching". If you don't know, traveling and living abroad causes a lot of identity crises. It makes you ask questions like, "Should I go to Prague?", "Is this restaurant good?", "Do I like lobster?". Okay those are inside jokes, but still.
Studying Abroad in Italy changed my life. I can't wait to see what God has in store for Israel and the way the people there will impact me spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.
Many of you may be wondering what I will be doing AFTER I get back from Israel. I mean, I'll be a college graduate and everything right?
Well, you shouldn't stress yourself out over that question, it's too far in the future to worry about. And I'm stressed out over it enough to last a few lifetimes. I am on the job hunt and am also trying to land an internship. *life update*
I am also taking 12 of the hardest hours I have ever experienced. This semester is going to be so hard and I am going to be so relieved when it is over. I just don't see how my professors expect me to care about their classes when I have other things to worry about, like my internship interview tomorrow and what outfit I'm going to try to pass off as business professional for it. Or spending countless hours online searching for jobs, responding to emails, and tweaking my resume. Seriously. There's more to life than your class, professor!
Enough with the venting and life updates, I am really really really excited to see where my life will be come May when I leave for Israel. There is so much potential in the next 3-4 months to potentially change the course of my life. Gotta love this transitioning time in life.
keep checking up on this blog as I'll have updates for my preparations for Israel and soon and very soon I'll be headed there (CANT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!!!)
