Shalom! 24hrs from now I will be sitting in the glorious PHL airport with Gabrielle anxiously awaiting to board our 8hr flight to AMSTERDAM. These past two weeks have been bittersweet; Its hard saying good bye, but its nice to know that you are loved <3
The thought of living abroad for the next 9.5 months still feels pretty surreal. It's weird to think that I won't be attending any games in Happy Valley or partaking in any monthly dinner or night outs. The most common question I have been asked is "Are you excited?" Of course I am excited but also apprehensive and nervous all at the same time. I think this is why my suitcase is still bare or maybe its because I am known for my constant procrastination.
Tomorrow is the beginning of a brand new chapter one where I will meet new people from across the country and get to do what I am best at....performing mitzvahs :) I am super excited to not have the stress of working and be able to focus on giving back and networking. Every day will be a new adventure and I am certain I will grow from it in many ways.
I will miss everyone dearly! Thank you all for your kind words and bon voyage gifts. Once I begin packing they will certainly be in my suitcase. I will try to write weekly if not more often. Also, feel free to skype me (agwolkin). Israel is 7 hours ahead of Philadelphia!! Shalom!
