So the real reason I'm writing this entry is because I need to have a blog written within the first 48 hrs of signing up so my new account doesn't get deleted. I'm getting ready to go, which is a real pain in the ass. I keep feeling like I'm forgetting something else, and in the end I probably will, but I'm doing my best to make sure that I don't.
It still hasn't really set in that I'm going away for 3 months, but every once in a while it hits me for a second and I get really sad. I'm leaving behind all of you; my family, my friends, the Mets, and it's upsetting. Still, I've been looking forward to this for a veeery long time, and I suppose I'm excited, but once again, it really hasn't sunk in. I'm gonna miss all of you, so keep in touch, and feel free to comment on anything I write here because it makes it easier for me to keep track of all my messages.

Jesu Crisco, you're going to Israel for three months! You've gotta play an average American for a bit, around people you're not anticipating, necessarily, to know very long at least. Bars or clubs would work - that approach might not fly in a beht k'nesset. Then you'd best not be a yeshiva bukher, but I hope you have a measure for talmeed khakham. Just some suggestions. Remind us what the primary agenda of your sojourn abroad is? I'm not entirely sure I caught that part of the equation. I wish I were going, shoot. By the by, how do you feel about journalism - you're gonna be in a unique position to us b'khutz la'Aretz.
