Guess what! There's a blogspot app! I'm so excited because for the past few months I've been so jealous of Ester that she could blog from her phone but I couldn't figure out how to do it! But nowwww...
Well anyway, it's the new year and everything feels the same but I know it's different. This was an incredibly uplifting past few holidays and I'm super excited for this upcoming year.
This chol hamoed is weird though because I haven't really done anything sukkot-y. I don't even have a sukkah at home sad face but the chag itself was nice albeit very windy. I felt like I was in Kansas.
Okay we'll typing this on the bus is actually not a stellar idea because I'm getting a bit bus sick but I got so excited about this app I wanted to share right away.
Until next time

So now that it's seven months later...
Dear Michael Somogyi,
Sorry it's been seven months since I updated the blog I forgot I had. Luckily for you we've spoken in the past seven months so it's not like you've been totally in the dark about my life. When we last left this blog I had just gotten a job but still didn't have an office so I was mostly just sitting in my apartment doing research. As I'm sure you know all that has changed.
Life has become crazy with my non stop workaholicness. I think to myself when did I become a work a holic? That does not sound like me. My dear friend Chava told me that it's not that I'm a work-a-holic it's that I'm a person of extremes. Work hard, play hard, laze about hard. I support this analysis.
I love work. It's interesting and busy and I totally dig all the people I work with even if I'm like the least political person in the world and usually have zero idea what they're talking about. This job has been so sensational for me as a person in terms of learning my strengths and weaknesses and learning how capable I am. Surprisingly the more support you get the more you are able to do. Well the more support I get, maybe not you. Maybe you're a superstar and can succeed based on your own superbness.
Anyway here it is erev rosh hashana and I'm sitting in the hallway of my cousins' house while some people cook and some people sleep (I did all my cooking and sleeping days ago). Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur have always been a bit of a struggle for me. It always kind of seemed fake. I know I did something wrong but come on I'm 26 I'm sorry but I'm probably going to do those things again. But as I grow older and wiser I have learned that it's more about the internalizing of the mistakes and the recognition that it might not have been the best year but I can do better. And if I care I will. I think I care. I'm trying to.
I don't really like these generic Rosh Hashana messages, especially on facebook. Way to put in some effort. But I will say to you that I do hope that this is a good year. There are so many things up in the air that we don't really have any control over but I think that a killer Rosh Hashana will help put us in the mind frame of being able to handle what may or may not be coming.
Sorry it's been a while since I've written. A happy and healthy shana tova to you and everyone else I know.
Love,
Shira

Shout Outs Are Good Reminders
Yesterday my #1 Best Friend (according to the list) shouted out to me in her blog. I thought it was really sweet until I realized that a lot of people read her blog and they're going to link to my blog and realize how pathetic I am. So now I have to impress them. And I know you think it's egotistical of me to assume that they're going to click on the link that sends them to my blog but the sneaky writer didn't say whooo the blog belonged to just that I was a "dear friend". Wouldn't you be curious? Aren't you curious who my #1 Best Friend is considering I didn't link her? Guess you'll never know...Unless you already do.
So, I have a job. I know I know you're impressed. Guessed all that tv watching and crocheting the past 4 months finally paid off. Woo hoo! This job is a responsibility. It's kind of like being a grown up except I get to plan a lot more parties. I'm so used to being in the mindset of my opinion doesn't count and everyone knows better than I do that it's hard to remember that I can make decisions and that I'm a valuable member of the team. Wouldn't my therapist be proud...
It's nice to have a job again even if I still don't have an office so I'm mostly sitting at my computer at home and sometimes travelling to Modiin. But hopefully eventually I'll just spend all my time in Modiin and there won't be any annoying commuting time.
Anyway that's all I got for you right now. When I think of more interesting things to share with the class I'll be sure to remember that I have a blog and come post them here.
Peace
