I came to live a life in an international city with international and worldly people, live something totally different than what I'm used to. And while living in the dorm is different, it's just about as similar as it would be living in a dorm in the good ol U-S of A. I finally understood that no matter how hard I try, going to school here is nothing like going to school back home. People live in their homes, there is no housing-department, no frats, no sports teams, nothing. So what was I trying to do by live here and pretend i'm going to a regular college? Well what did I do when I came home and then quickly left to hang with May, left a note for the roomies.
I let my most amazing roomies know that, well, I thought it would be beneficial for us to move out and experience this rich life we could have. Of course, after talking to the office, we need to let the University know if we're moving out by the end of the month. Sadly, this has taken a toll on my stress level.
It turns out that after lots of talk and such, if I'm moving out, it might be without Dayna and Nof, but that really hasn't stopped me, just relative talks with the Parentays. All understandable about an 18 year old who would like to live without the security of school dorms and people she's lived with for about 3 months now. So at this moment, I'm not only trying to convince my parents to say yes, because the deadline is soon, but I'm looking up apartments. Yes, something i've never ever done before. I'm looking at money and financials more than I ever thought I would and the best part is once I tell the University at the end of the month that I'm moving out...there is no going back...and when are apartments logically available for researching for my time frame...yeah not for another 2 months. So worse case scenario, I might be homeless, but not actually.
Now let's add on some more things I need to essentially do before the end of the month:
1) Finish my college app...I'm applying to one other school as a lama lo (why not) approach to life and education. But in this one application, i've had to write more essays than the 4 applications I did last year. Plus not to mention that half of the things I wanna do with transcripts and apps, are normally for current high school students. So stress level is a good 40/100
2) College homework. Yeah it's not the most fun thing to do. Especially when it's all reading, but it costs to print so you have to read on the comp...then your eyes get tired. Stress level is 50/100
3) Hoping to take another trip into Bethlehem and Jerusalem for the weekend, but this time I'm planning to go with a group of friends, which means trying to figure out where we're going to sleep, transportation, clothings. So add that to everything else. 60/100
4) I've been blessed with roughly two months off in between semesters and during this time I plan to not go home, but go to Europe for as long as I can. Well, I gotta plan that soon too, because hopefully Dayna is going to come with me and if we can, convince some others to go with. I mean like my Apartment plan, I plan to go regardless of others joining me, so I need to get all of this planned...just because I plan to visit 15 different countries. Stress level now 90/100
5) I can't find my blush. It is an essential piece of makeup in my life. I wear it everyday and I can not find it ANYWHERE. Stress level now 95/100
6) And now just to throw it out there, i'm cold. Cold weather finally got to Israel. And by cold, I mean 68 degrees. But when you're used to 85 and humid, 68 is the coldest thing ever. Although, my dignity is still relatively there. Most Israelis are completely bundled with scarfs and jackets, but I only had a thin long sleeve shirt on! But yeah stress level is now at full capacity! 100/100.
So, if any random Israelis read this and know someone who would love to let 3 girls rent an apartment from February to June, please let me know. If not, I'll accept magic wands. And goldfish, always accepting goldfish.
