In the states it is a little hard to realize that my life is Israel. Everyone here keeps asking what is life going to be after the army. The truth is I have seven more months and then I am totaly stumped. I sound crazy when I tell people what all my ambitions are and the truth is that after the army I really just want to be happy. I want to continue to meet new people, do new things and really just prove that I can do things I never thought were possible. In order to finance these dreams is another thing. Right now the most appropriate thing would be to persue a career in Art Therapy. This is not my exact dream. That would be to be an artist. I think it is safe to say that Art does not pay the bills right away so at least it would be something related to the art field.
Being back in Brewster went by really fast. I am sure i gained at least 10 lbs and am ok with it. It was good to see the people I did and I am honored that the people that stick by me and my life decisions really care about me.
I am nervous about going back because as soon as I get off the plane the day after im on base teaching commanders how to fire automatic machine guns and that is a terrible ordeal with jet lag.
But in any case I am going to look at the challenge of finding out what to do with my life. p.a (post army) as an exciting journey of growth. and when that doesn't work I will just eat lots of ice cream.
Love you all a lot,
Happy Pesach,
Michali

usa here i come... again
This coming week I am flying to the states for a month : ) I am so excited. My best friend is getting married and I am a bridesmaid. It was a hassle getting my ticket as most things are in the Army. I am greatful to be home with my garin family and it is a weird feeling to leave these people for a month. Once I am done with my service I am not sure how I am going to live without fighting over laundry machines, hearing about girls and complaining about how much balls itch.
This past week I was in a base for reserves. I had the best time- the thing about coming back for reserves is that you are not actually in the army. You leave your life and come for a week with your army buddies to learn about newer weapons and camp. You cant take it seriously that a younger instructor is teaching you and suddenly you take everything as a joke. I learned about how to interact with people this week. You can no longer open times for them, but ask nicely if they can finish their ciggerate and continue shooting. The answer is always no and you settle for them smoking while shooting with their uniform coming out of their pants above their bellies. And that is ok. These are the people that in real times of danger will save us- hopefully.
I am going to pack,
Lots of love,
See you in USA,
Michali
