again, just a list of stuff from last night and today, but i woke up at 7:30AM today and have not had a chance to rest and i'm feeling sick now and am going to tel aviv now to see mom. so i apologize, but i do have a surprise in a new post in just a sec.
woke up at 4:30
walked to station and caught 6AM bus to jerusalem
got in a cab, and after some confusion and calls to zvi, we arrived for our meeting
got shirts
we're the outcasts of the meeting, laughing in the back row
got into buses and drove to yad vashem
really taken aback that we didn't know we're going there
went to children's memorial, i felt numb
went to big huge opening ceremony
kids played harmonica choir, made me teary with holocaust clips
felt really uneasy, like i wanted to cry
then begin center, wasn't into it at first, but it was a very cool museum
i just wanted to fuck authority and go off on my own
i wanted to look at pictures and take pictures and was disturbed by some of the things begin did for the state of israel
also wished i could be a great leader like that, never been a good speaker
even in the session afterwards, i said the wrong things
felt the weakest i've ever felt, not like someone who could change anything or make anyone believe stuff
then at lunch, i got a call from naama letting me know to be in prime minister olmert's speech because he was going to mention me by name.
i got real excited and then thought that i should act like a leader because people are paying attention
but that i should act like that all the time whether people are watching or not
but if i just believe in myself, nothing is impossible.
met yana, ole from georgia via russia, cool girl
went to convention center,
overexposed images with colored outlines series, and also make flickr book of ramla photos, also for orna
to peoplehood seminar and spoke to shlomi about our program and for the first time i belieived what i said about it
he told us about israeli flying aid
alice got strip searched
we got out and went around exploring before meeting gal, the woman in charge of israeli aid
finally talked to my mom
complaints about the day, then dinner, then speech
i'm a douche, and stood up twice, but great music and singers and fun times
then on the ride home, we told zvi our thoughts
so we'll volunteer tomorrow
i'm going to bed. fuck. heard that the art show went well last night and i got so many sweet messages from my friends. i'm so lucky. miss you guys :)
love
sally
