the reality of going to poland

This morning we had morning services but I didn’t go b/c I didn’t feel well. But its ok, I went to the nurse, got medicine and felt a little better (p.s. learned how to swallow a pill- be proud). Then I went to Hebrew. After we learned a little grammar we made chocolate balls (luckily I prepared myself and didn’t eat breakfast so I would be able to eat chocolate balls). They were soo good, and I might have possibly eaten more than I should have (but I evened it all out). Then I had Jewish History. We learned about Zionism. Then I had lunch and general studies. After classes, I had ceremony prep, signed up for winter Kallah, and a Poland prep program. The program consisted of us walking around the room looking at pictures and quotes/stories. It was extremely emotional and scared a lot of us for all the emotion we will be facing next week. As much as I have studied the holocaust, reading all the stuff tonight made me more emotional than I have ever been. I guess it is b/c now I not only think about the information but relate it to me and relate it to the fact that in just a few days I will be seeing everything 6 million Jews went through in person. Now I am going to bed and will hopefully have a good first night of (3 days before the SAT2s sleep).
