The Wondering Jew!

So this past week in my cross cultural conflict course they had us do an activity where out professor laid out some toys and we had to choose one or more that kind of suited us, and we used as a tool to tell a story about us. I my self wound up choosing an eskimo toy it was the closest thing I could find that was semi nomadic. so what I said really described who i was.

The Wondering Jew:
So I consider myself a wondering Jew, and I feel that label suites me very well. I mean as a culture Jews have wondered from one place to another, and life for the jews has been a constant never ending journey. And in a nut shell thats how I view my life, literally and metaphoricly. I love to travel and I have this major sense of adventure and the need to be on the go. but On top of that even though I am here in one place my mind and spirit always seems to be else where. But the interesting peice is i've view my life as a journey and over time the journies that I have taken have all led me to this point. From the journey of grad school and that chaotic period to the turn around attitude wise in high school to really trying finding myself as an adult in my college years. I returned from Israel and my life turned again to where I have found myself and who I am and what I want to do, and now I'm at the tail end of my educatioinal journey, and on to the next journey as a all out grown up in the real world. ( ok this sounded so much better and poetic when i did it in class lol)

all together right now I'm plugging away here at kent state working on a conflict mangement major. people always ask me what am I going to do with that? I always tell them well i'm going to solve the middle east issue in a week and a half after I graduate ( ok so I stole that line from mom). But this sem I am feeling really good about things and going really strong in my classes! after this semester I will have only a year left to go and then I'll be done (FINALLY).. along with my academics I am working presently as a taxi driver for a local cab company that an old high school friend runs! its been fun and quite stressful at the same time! but MAN DO I HAVE STORIES! If you know what taxi cab confessions are its been somewhat like that! all in all i'm happy healthy and doing well!! till next time everyone stay happy stay healthy and, I hope to see and hear from y'all soon!!
