Not a pilgrimage, really. We did some touring and saw lots of places, but it was actually a ministry trip. We helped out with a few ministries based in Israel, hung out with a youth group, played at this little cafè, that kinda stuff. It was tons of fun.

I'm doing pretty good. I just got back from Israel yesterday, so I'm adjusting to having not much to do at home. That will all change when I go back to school Tuesday, though. I spent almost two weeks in Israel. It was amazing. I didn't want to come home.
I'm not done with school, though. I was going to finish early May, but it looks like it might be late May now, we'll see. Now I have to get used to going back to class after three weeks off. :-(

Haha. Sadly, I'm too conscientious by nature to let myself do that. But, I'd definitely be able to work for a few months to save up the money I needed and run on cash. That I'd be able to do. I'm good at blowing a lot of cash, just bad at racking up debt :-)
We'll see if get around to it. I know I'll wanna go back to Israel after this first trip. I want to travel a lot, but I also want to be a missionary, so I'm sure a lot of the work I do with my church will end up taking me to cool places I wanna see.

that's exactly what you should do. you'll have the time of your life. takes a bit of money tho if you want to do it properly.

if you want my advice...take a credit card and max the bitch out. who cares how much debt you come back with? if you're only going to do one trip you better make it worth while.

You might be right about the voodoo line. I dunno. I haven't seen that movie in years.
I don't really know what exactly I'll do, to be honest. I'll be starting a new job, and be broke, so I'm committed to living in Medford (where I am now) for six months at my parents'...after that...no idea. I mean, I have some ideas. I could finish school in LA, live with my uncle in NY for really cheap, move up to Portland. The nice thing about the job is that it'll be at Starbucks hopefully, which is transferable anywhere in the country.
Anyway, I'll stay here for a while. I can't just bail on the students I've been working with 'cause I'm bored. I love the guys that I've been getting know to, so I'll stay here and keep doing what I'm doing until I have enough money and feel like it's time to move on. Then I'll figure out where I'm moving on to.
I am insanely jealous of your European tour. I want to do that so badly! I want a flight into eastern Europe, a Eurorail pass, and a flight out of western Europe two or three months later. Then I just want to go wherever I feel like :-) Maybe I'll do that.

Nah i travelled for ages after i finished highschool. I lived in Switzerland for a year, came back for a year and worked to save money so i could go back, and then i travelled around Europe for 3 and a half months. I've done my fair share of travelling.

I decided when i got back that i should probably do something productive and maybe go to uni like everyone else. now i'm just counting down the years til i can travel again.

and what do you think god will have in mind for you?

Remind me of the babe.

Hope I didn't steal sledg's thunder. I couldn't help myself.
I'm not totally free to do whatever I want, in the sense that I am basing my decision on what I feel God is asking me to do. Nonetheless, I definitely still have lots of option open to me :-D
You should take a term off of school to save up some money and travel for a month or two. It would be totally worth it.

They are adorable. I love dogs. I like Oska's face in the pictures, he's cute.
For my year off I will probably work and figure out what God's got next for me. I'll keep working with the students at my church, so that won't change. What will change is living at home and having homework, really. I'll probably work at Starbucks, so I'll be committed to Medford (where I live for six months), then I can transfer if I want to.
I really don't know yet. My options are wide open. It's a little scary, but a little freeing at the same time ;-)

...well, maybe I have a four month summer break...and I guess a few people get as much as a month off at Christmastime. It just seemed like it had been a while. It's sweet that you get a long break, though. I only have three months of school left...then I'm looking forward to a whole year off, most likely. It's so sweet...

Yeah that's not 100% accurate. I live an hour out of Sydney.
It takes about 2 hours to get to the beach. I might do it if i were a real beach person but i have an irrational fear of sharks and i don't go in the ocean.

I did actually go in once when i was on holidays last week though. But that was only because i was with 6 people i trusted and helicopters were patrolling the area

I...am doing well.
I'm trying to think of what I've been doing to justify being well...not much. But I think if I'm not 'bad,' I default to 'well'. So maybe I'm really mediocre.
And always strange...
No, just hanging out, I suppose. Went exploring in a retirement home that's under construction (exploring/climbing/photographing construction sites is kind of a hobby), and drove by tonight to find four fire trucks and three cop cars. Thank God I wasn't there tonight. And school - perpetually. And trying to find a job.
And how are you doing?

The funny thing about Cloves is they are the only kind of cigarette I think taste good, but they are the worst for you.
I have a bunch of friends who smoke, so odds are I smoke a few cigarettes a day through second-hand smoke anyway. And I know it's bad. I won't even try to justify it. I just enjoy the occasional smoke, not all the time. And I generally don't smoke around non-smokers out of respect for them. If I want to mess up my lungs, that's my business, but I don't want to mess them up, too.

Hahah. (I start a lot of comments that way, I've noticed) It's actually great. I like it. It's a real challenge, 'cause I submit myself to a lot of rules I wouldn't normally have, but it pays out in the end. I'm doing what I really want to do, so it's worth making some sacrifices.
I'm not of legal drinking age in the US anyway, so I technically shouldn't be having wine in the hot tub, or anywhere else, whether or not I'm out of school.
I hate most cigarettes, but Cloves are nice. You ever smoked a Clove? Djarum Blacks? Yum...

Hahah. You can't party too much, then it becomes less special. You need to find that happy medium.
Going out and having a good time with friends is always in order, though. In fact, it seems in order, now...
I don't want to give the wrong impression, 'cause I have not actually drank (meaning more than tasting a drink) in two years, and I'm not a drinker. Anyway, right now I'm in a program where I can't drink or smoke, but lately, a hot tub, a cigarette and a bottle of wine have sounded very inviting, so I know how I'll be celebrating the end of my school year :-)

Here is what I learned about the picture we both like so much:
That sailor had been running around kissing everyone. He kissed old ladies, married ladies, probably homeless ladies, then Albert got the one of the sailor kissing the nurse. I thought that was really funny. I always thought it was this romantic picture of a sailor coming home to his sweetheart. Nope, just a manwhore. ;-)
It's still a great picture, though.
