My Last post in America

[eumelia]

Wow, it's been a wacky few months, with being very happy and very depressed, often at the same time.
I don't know how much this experience has changed me, but I learned many things about myself and about practicality in every day life.
I realized that I am (or was) an under achiever, that in order to get what I want I have to persevere and not give up (and that very hard for me to do).
I learned that I have an infinite amount of patience for stupidity (mainly from family).
I learned that Yankees are pretty neat people (and the occasional Southerner ;).
I also realized that I am extremely fortunate to have a family that accepts me for who I am and really does want what's best for (so we have slight disagreements on that, on occasion).
Babies are cute - grown up who come up to you for no reason and start gushing are annoying.

I also want to thank the lovely Americans who took time to hang out with me, and agreed to show me around their cities and be very, very patient with the foreigner.
Thank you orcabee, krazyhippie and watermellonsala, aesiron, for meeting with me and for being my friends, I'll never forget how kind, generous and absolutely fantastic you all are.
To all of my LJ friends who are here and we didn't meet there's always next time, despite being my first, this is certainly not my last visit in Uncle Sam's Country.

If you come to Israel and want to see the wonders of Palestine don't hesitate to look me up, I would love to return the favour.

My friends at home I'll be home tomorrow, I'll be landing at Ben-Gurion at 15:30 (if there are no delays), be seeing you.

Goodbye Yankeeland.
Holy Land here I come.

Peace everywhere.
