Last night I got back from the AIPAC high school summit. I went with 7 other kids from Milken, 7 out of the 8 (me included) went on TIF.

Over all it was a fun experience, I liked spending time with people that I have not spent time with since Israel and I also really enjoyed the free Hadag Nachash that AIPAC arranged for us.

Besides spending time with TIF people and Hadag Nachash, most of the time was spent learning about AIPAC and “lobbying” for Israel. Learning about AIPAC was fun and important, but the whole “lobbying” thing was a waste of time. We went to see one of congressman Waxman’s staff, it was kind of point less since she knew much more about AIPAC and US Israel realtions than most of the people “teaching” us about this stuff at the conference.

Every morning I wake up to the same sound of my alarm clock wrenching from my sleep. The same thing happened this morning, and after two unsuccessful attempts at going back to sleep, I walked out of my room and brushed my teeth. Then I went back to my room took off the clothes that I had slept in and put on the clothes that I was going to wear to school. Next I walked out my room and went to the computer to check my email, however on my way there I noticed the light. The evil green blinking light that means that there is a message on the answering machine… I slowly walked over to check the message and to my chagrin I found out that school was canceled AFTER I had gotten ready….

O well, at least I get to go back to sleep now.

BTW, Milken was closed because of its efforts in helping residents effected by this fire.

Today I went to school and saw people who I have not seen for 4 months. It was really nice to see how people have changed and grown. I also got my yearbook and noticed that the TIF page and the page about the 10th grade shabbaton had the same descriptions that last year’s did (For example the TIF page says that we left for Israel in 2007 and that there are 39 people on the program, they are only 36 and we left on Feb, 28, 2008). The mistakes are kind of funny, but I wonder if the yearbook editors had something against the tenth grade. hmm……(jk)
