Updates on my general well-being and happiness

I decided to use this time and research the WUJS programs. I finally figured out what I can do in order to combine my degree and my passion. This program allows me to learn Hebrew and become part of Israeli life, volunteer, and mingle, not to mention fraternize with the fine Israeli guys. After learning Hebrew, I would go out looking for internships that help foster the peace process in the Middle East. I should be working with attorneys and various political organizations for social change. This is exactly what I would like to do since I am graduating this semester with a Bachelors in Political Science with concentration in International and Comparative Law. I am quite excited, already applied. The program cost is about $7000 with all the fees plus $200 a month for entertainment/travel expenses. There will be quite a lot of fun weekend trips, but mostly it is time for me to get to know Israel on my own.

The program dates are October thru April. During these dates, I will write down my experiences in a diary-like fashion on this blog, so if you would like to follow along, be my guest. The slow months leading up to it, I will tell you about the way I will try to get grants for this trip since that is a lot of money. I have been writing letters to various Jewish organizations in the area asking them to sponsor me. They can share my experiences with anyone who is interested in Israel and its splendor. I will tell you all about this letter writing campaign I have -- so maybe one day you can do the same

Love always
