Wow. Now I have an odd longing to watch Clueless.
Anyhow, I'm sorry for not writing: Things at home have been hard, but I don't want to go into more details for fears of violating lashon hara, the Jewish laws concering gossip (Judaism is pretty anti-gossip, which makes sense - it is a bit of a betrayal of someone to talk about them behind their back).
I will say a few things however:
1. Recently I feel I've lost direction, which is scary and empowering, because there are so many directions I could go in. I know I have a passion for social justice, Judaism, feminism and Israel - so where does that leave me? I also know I feel strongly about this whole Brazilian thing. What a blessing, to have so many identities to reconcile.
2. Epiphany of the day: If I beleived in myself as much as my friends did, I'd be a much stronger person and get so much more done in life. I should see myself through their eyes.
3. This blog post by an acquaintance kind of sums up the connundrum I feel regarding career choices - macro changes v micro v just being fulfilled and happy (slash does that fulfillment depend on influencing society through macro or micro changes, or both): http://ourtakeonfreedom.wordpress.com/2011/12/03/aruba-in-detail/
