*insert jaws theme song here*

[19.]
something i miss.
this view.























i know it might look a little bit dry and dusty... 
cuz it is.
but it is the best place on the planet. 
aside from maybe here:

so i don't actually have a picture of my house... and google earth only had a very tiny, grainy picture.
it just can't do it justice.


and you want to know the best part about my day?
getting this:
it's got a fin!

i'm sold.

looking into my magic oracle... i see the future:

day 17:
i am looking forward to...
GRADUATION!


sorry, i don't feel like posting much today... i woke up this morning with a sore throat and feeling like my eyes were trying to explode out of my head... i didn't even get out of bed until noon (after a very sweet younger brother brought pride and prejudice in to keep me company while i tried to go back to sleep). he's actually pretty sweet on occasion!
i never get sick. i'm usually the family member that laughs while everyone else is sick in bed. not today apparently. so, i'm going to go and sit on the couch, drink some (more) herbal tea, and beat this! because i don't like being sick while i'm at home. 


but today hasn't been all bad (i was about to go crazy, but my younger sister saved me by taking me to the store... we found some sweet red mugs at d.i... which will be a project that will take place sometime within the next few days. it's gonna be sweet!) 


feel better!
yes, thanks. i will!

a quick look back...

i have just over a month left. 
can i just say how sad that makes me?

who would have known that a group of complete strangers would be such great friends today?

little did they know...
don't we look cute? and oh so very pale..

[nessa me and meg]

which reminds me!
i realized that i haven't talked about our amazing experience at the matisyahu concert!
basically awesome...


but definitely the hottest experience i've ever had.
probably even hotter than today.
and today was baaaaad.
my dear friend weatherbug said it was 90 degrees, but it felt like it was 93.
it says it is 97 degrees in ein gedi...
i'm gonna diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie.

our teachers kept telling us how "green" it was at the beginning of the semester.
i didn't believe them.
until i look at this picture, and then i realize how dead and brown everything looks now!

 just take a look at the wall...
this is the outside of zion gate, on our way to dormition abbey.
just a little reminder of the conflict that is never quite over in this part of the world.

[me sharla and lizzie]

an older picture, but i just barely found it.
it went through all of the countries in the world and gave places that you had to visit.
done and done!

we call this place "costco"
because it has tons of wholesale candy for super cheap.
it doesn't even come near to the real deal. 
mom: when i get home, i want trail mix from costco.
that is supposed to be a subliminal message.

you know how you never know how much you love someone until they're gone?
i feel that way...
about DI.
before i left, i couldn't understand how there could actually be a line waiting to get in DI...
right now, i would be willing to camp outside, to i could get in. 
:)

and while we're on the topic of fantasies and daydreams,
i want one of these.

-------------------------------------------------
i'm having a hard time being grateful for the sun right now...

but i have a kite!
...and we are going to fly it!
(just in case you didn't know that's what you do with kites...)
