Worf's Personal Log Stardate 502.06
Just had the Parent-Teacher Conference. Looks like I might pass if I can keep the grades up and get caught up on some social studies assignments. Organization is not my strong point and most of my lousy grades come from not getting stuff done on time.
We have a date! We're leaving for Israel the 19th of June---I'll be in Israel in time for my birthday AND for Yona's birthday! No more school for the summer! I get to play tourist and tour Israel, practice my Hebrew. I get a break from high school while I go to ulpan (language school). There's a ulpan just for teenagers in Jerusalem which is why we're living there.
I'm nervous a little bit over the language stuff. I think I'll pick up the Hebrew pretty quickly because I've taken it at Jewish Day School and kept it up with my tutor--I speak Hebrew better than my mom, definitely. I hope I can make Israeli friends.
We have a group of vision impaired students in the county who all do mobility therapy during the year -- sometimes we pair up, like me and Jessica, my friend. But every year we all go to San Francisco on a field trip to use all the different kinds of public transportation -- buses, BART, ferries, trolleys, cable cars. This year we took the ferry to the city, and took BART and Muni buses around. We got to meet the mayor, Gavin Newsome and spend time at City Hall. We took lots of pictures and made a CD of our trip and Jessica set it to music. I wanted to help with editing and the music but I had the flu and missed it.

Sounds like a great trip to SF. I can't believe you are leaving soon. The time has gone by so fast. I am going to miss you. We will have to save up $ so was can come visit some day. We are happy you will celebrate with us at our wedding before you leave!

Well it looks like you've got it all figured out now all you have to do it work at it, and then get on the plane.
