Israel is the greatest, but now what am I going to do?

The title says it all. Exactly one month ago, I was in Israel with an amazing group of American tourists, Israeli students and soldiers, the best tour guide in history, and the most bad-ass medic carrying an antiquated gun. I had the most incredible time in Israel that I don't think I can adequately describe it in words. You all just need to trust me in the fact that most everything is just better in Israel. The food is all locally grown, products are invented and manufactured there (no outsourcing like here in the States), and security is taken seriously. I was really most excited about the food. It was the first time I was able to eat in a foreign country. I have life-threatening food allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, and milk products. The last of which are in everything. However, milk cannot be present with meat according to Jewish law. Therefore, I just had to avoid nuts which is, let me tell you, SO much easier. I got to see what my life would be like if I were just allergic to nuts. It would be nice and I would get very plump.

It was also a very intellectual trip, which I appreciated. I had been warned of the brainwashing that goes on during these Birthright trips. However, our tour made it very clear from the beginning that this was not an easy trip. We saw the heartbreaking aspects of Israeli society as well; the divisiveness among the population and even within smaller ethnic groups.

But now I'm back, and it's August (my least favorite month). I need to figure out what job/s I want to try this year. I'll keep updating.
