Tonight!

I can't believe it's finally happening. I'm going to cantorial school!!!!!!! This has been over six years in the making, and I'm so glad that I finally decided to take the plunge. I am leaving for Israel tonight and getting there on Tuesday morning. I am pretty much packed. Considering how I usually travel, this is pretty much a miracle. One of my rabbis was joking on Friday night that the entire congregation should come over and help me pack. That would have been nice. Fortunately, I have a friend who is taking some of my stuff, since it turns out I have a clothing problem. And also a shoe problem. Who'da thunk?

This honestly hasn't felt real until now. I've felt like I've been living in a dream world. But seeing all of these piles of books and clothing has made it real. I'm not quite sure what to expect of the year to come. I'm looking forward to getting to know my classmates and learning from them. I hear that I will have many, many classes, but I'm looking forward to getting out there and just enjoying Israel. Other than that, I don't know what to think. We shall know when I get there. I'll make sure to write my obligatory "I'm safe"/"first impressions" blog posts. But until then, signing off. So long, America!
