Today I bought a box of 750 q-tips.  That got me to thinking - 750 Q-tips is 2+years.
Will I remember when I bought this box when it comes time to throw it away? I went to Venice with Sara, Ariela and Rachel today - then Sara, Ariela and I went to Target.  It was great to be with my LADD Angels.  But, I don't remember when I bought the last box and I think that only had 500 in it.
In any case - 2 years.  What could happen in the next 2 years.  Lets think back two years.  Labor Day weekend 2004.  I dont remember anything in particular about it.  But, the circumstances - I had just started as a JCSC, school was a week or two into the semester at CSUN.  I was struggling with adjusting to a new setting.  I didn't know what I was doing, but I felt like I had a good model and help from those around me.
WAIT A MINUTE - that sounds like, well, a lot like what I'm going through right now.  But how did I get here?
If you had told me two years ago that I would be doing now what I am doing -
that I would be in two masters programs; that I would be trailblazing a potential new dual program; that I would be a USC student; that I would be an HUC student; that theatre wouldnt be my career; that I would be missing Hillel this much; that I would be going to school because I want to work for Hillel; etc. etc. and so forth - I'm sure that I would never have believed you.
Life was clear - I was working for Hillel for a year and then going back into the theatre world.  Duh.
So, what will happen in the next two years?  What is known?  I should be done with my masters degrees.  and... well... other than that, I don't know. 
My life seems to be in two year segments these days. 
I guess we'll just have to wait and see what else this new box of q-tips will bring.

Hon,
I loved your Q-tip story. It resonated so much with what is going on in my life right now.
I can't believe I am finally moving back to Israel in less than 3 months! I arrive Dec 5th and I will be based in Jerusalem for at least the first 2 months while I am working on the Taglit programs. When do you arrive?
It will be so awesome to see you again!
