so thought i'd follow up on my israeli problems. lol. today i went to the office where u get passports and they fixed everything for me, i have a paper that says i'm allowed to use my american passport when i leave on saturday and that i can renew my israeli passport at the embassy in new york. so yaaaay good stuff. about the army, i'm going to the office for that tomoro and will try to get out of having to do some time as a soldier. my cousins came home from the army this past weekend for shabbat and it was so strange to see them cuz they're only a year and 2 years older than me, 2 boys and one of them is like my best friend we spent hours talking and catching up. i havent seen them for 3 years!!! thats just unacceptable. anyway so he was wearing his army clothes and he's an intense soldier, guns and stuff, tanks, everything it was so scary seeing him hold a gun. it really scared me. i hope he doesnt get hurt and is careful cuz i know he's a crazy kid and loves trying everything. it was sooo good to see him i miss him sooo much. he loves it in the army. my other cousin is reeeeeeally smart so he does some kind of computer stuff there or something, anyway uses his genius to help out but he still has a uniform and stuff which is weird to see him wearing. anyway i love them soooo much and i hope they're ok, they have about 2 more years to be in the army and than hopefully they'll come visit me at college in new york. all i know is i dont really want to be in the army but if there is a draft in 2005 cuz that silly bill gets passed i will be on a plane to israel so quickly haha and in a second i'll be in the israeli army, at least i would be fighting for something i believe in....
