This reading journal prompt made me so happy, thank you! This is the last assignment I need to complete for the semester, and I am on a plane right now with my family to meet my grandmother in New York and fly to Israel. I have gone to Israel with one of my siblings and my mom, but this is the first time we are going as a family – we’re all really excited! Our flight to Israel takes off a little before midnight and gets in around 10am EST, and I was planning on studying for the MCAT a bit to catch up on my study plan since I fell behind during finals. Instead, I will watch a movie on the plane, get some rest, talk with my siblings and my grandmother, and just enjoy the experience.
I took physics 141 and 142 over the summer, spent last spring break studying for an exam the day we got back, and I caught up on work this fall break and Thanksgiving break. I know that it is important to take care of yourself so I make sure I spend time outside, talk with friends, and exercise, but this is the first time in a long time that I will have a true break. I am so excited!
