family soldiers

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....

israeli army what???

so i'm in israel now yaaay. but i am having a few problems while here. because israel has that army requirement thingy and apparantly i'm supposed to go to the army unless i have written permission from the american embassy that i am an american citizen as well as an israeli citizen because of my parents, i am supposed to be going to the army because i am now 18 years old. isnt that silly? and also i have problems because my israeli passport expired in 2003, what did they want me to do? take a trip to israel just so i could renew my passport? so silly. anyway so i am staying in israel apparantly until i have a valid israeli passport and am excused from the army....um yea...which is bad because i am supposed to go to college in september and work over the summer, i do not plan on ever living here so i thought maybe i could just give up my israeli citizenship but my dad cares that i have it and he wont let me. so i'm stuck and hopefully something will be figured out because i dont think i'm ready to leave my life in new york and all my dreams and learn how to use a gun instead. i never really thought i would ever learn how to use a gun. anyway just felt like getting the worries out of my head. meanwhile, i'm enjoying israel and the company of all my friends and family whom i have not seen in 3 years.
