Mixed feelings- ignorance, saddness, and enjoyment

When I woke up this morning I had no desire to get up and go to my classes. But I had too. Instead of Hebrew class we watched a movie. It was really good! It was about this kid who everyone thinks is dumb but actually is a genius. He also has to deal with taking care of his grandfather who is very old, (but hilarious and kind) cooking for his family, calming his family members down about his fathers cheating on his mom and other issues. I highly suggest it. It is called Ha-Kochavim Shel Shlomi (which means Shlomi’s Stars) or Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi (that is the English title). After Hebrew we had JHist. It was our last completely normal class. We talked about the Intifada, security fence (I did a presentation on it), and peace negotiations. My general studies today were fine. It is sad to think that tomorrow is my last class with all these teachers. Even though I may not have liked them all at the beginning, I now can’t imagine any other teacher. It is going to be super weird going home to a class that has way more than 1-5 other kids. After announcements tonight we had a speaker from Stand with Us come talk to us about advocating for Israel. I was so surprised by all the information we heard. I had no idea that Anti-Israel feelings were such a problem on many U.S. college campuses. Then a few kid from my Jewish History class and I finished our t-shirt design. When we were done, I went back to my room to shower, study, fill out my convention workshop choices (thank you for the help mom and Ashley) and made myself some homemade hot chocolate (how u ask…. a few pieces of dark chocolate, milk, and a microwave). At around 11:20 we all went to Dory’s room and sung happy birthday to her. Now I am back in my room and going to bed in preparation for my last day of school.
