I
know that it has been a couple years since I have done a blog post. I
have been thinking about a diary for my bat mitzvah, which is next
year, if you did the math, and I decided it would be better to post it
on Bub’s blog. But before I start, I think it would be fair if I tell
some of the things that have majorly happened with me and my family
since that is the year after I stopped posting. Lets see…
10 years old
Let’s
see, I don’t think that anything happened when I was 10. I was still in Waldorf when I did my last post, but I was having a great time. Izzy
had joined Waldorf and she was having just as good a time as I was. I
did my play and she did hers. I went on my field trips and she went on
hers, and we weren’t even fighting as much. Yona had just been born
and all was well. I was doing Greek mythology and having a great
time. We did a Greek play at the end of the year, and I was the main
character, and I was so happy at Hebrew school and was doing great
there as well. And there was morning and there was evening, a first
year.
11 years old
Eleven years old was the most challenging year, so far, in my life. It started
when I heard that we were moving. I remember feeling crushed that I would
lose everything that I knew, but I knew that we had to have a change
sometime this year. We found a new house (after a lot of difficulty)
and, finally, we moved in. It was like mother nature didn't want us to
move in. We had so many casualties while we were trying to move in. We had 1 hurricane, 1 earthquake, 1 sewer backup and a very bad
kitchen, but we persevered and pushed ahead. We got scared by the
earthquake, bailed for the hurricane (yes, like you do on a ship) and
fixed the sewer problem (which set us back a few months) and, well, we
made it, so, there was morning and there was evening, a second year.
My life today at 12 years old
Well,
here we are in seventh grade, at the year where you officially take
responsibility, but I think that is your life just getting started.
The first thing that I found out at school this year (and it is not
good) is that my best friend from last year, Alina Young, was not going
to be with me. But I got a new friend, Sam Etore. She is sweet, kind and
very forgiving.
When we were in the summertime, and in the beginning, we were doing the bad kitchen and making it good. Our neighbor did most of it with his friend, the contractor, and it was cool to see the kitchen coming together, and finally it was done. It is grey and sleek and shiny with quartz counter-tops and lots of cabinet space and shelf space. It even has two dishwashers. I have done my best at school, learned a lot and I have joined three clubs. And it is three clubs too many, but I feel that I am making a lot more friends than I did last year, and the best part is that I am still seeing Alina at one of the clubs that I am in. I am the sole person in Ravenclaw at Harry Potter Club and I am proud. And I am having a blast even though I am not in Waldorf anymore. I am having fun at other people’s bar and bat mitzvahs and I have one to attend in every weekend in October and November, and wish me luck on mine as well. There was morning and there was evening and we’re still in the third year.
