Almost Here!

Hello Everyone!

So, these past couples days have been really fun, but incredibly busy! heres a small list of things that have progressed since my last update:

  1. I am no long afraid of the cubs winning the world series. clearly, we're beyond that point
  2. My family and I went on a wonderful Alaskan cruise. You can see them here
  3. I've gone out to dinner with grandparents and family friends, saying my final goodbyes =(
  4. I've gone to a couple of baseball games, which we're both losing efforts by the cubs and the gary railcats, but I still had a great time!
  5. I went down to Urbana-Champaign for a night to party with ashley, and say some final goodbyes to friends at U of I! It was so much fun, and made me sad that I couldn't stay for longer!
In between all of this, i've started to work on packing for 9 months, which is much harder than I thought it would be... but oh well, i've got a great advantage with mom helping me!

Its starting to hit me how real this all is... 9 months didn't seem that long until this past week, but I know its just "pre-game jitters", so i'll be JUST fine!

Alright, I am signing off! I'll update you before i leave!

Shabbat Shalom!
Seth

Nervous? I Think Not...

So, one of the questions that I've been asked a lot on my upcoming trip is if i am nervous to go over to Israel, and the answer that I've given has been an honest one.

the only thing i am nervous about is that i am going to go to Israel and...
  1. The Cubs will win the World Series
  2. The Packers will win the Super Bowl and
  3. The Blackhawks will produce the best season they've ever had...
that's basically it!

Countdown is now at 24!!
