calamity's child

1. moving to my first studio apt tomorrow. it’s so large, and has beautiful detailing, and idiosyncrasies that are less beautiful, like all new york apartments. but the kitchen is larger than my current bedroom, and is a completely separate room from the living space, and there is a chandelier and a hallway and three closets and a chalkboard and a fire escape.

2. my conversion is this coming week. i am four days from being “officially” jewish. i can’t believe this day is coming so soon. i have so much yet to prepare, but am so close.

3. it feels very much like tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life, and i feel very aware of it, and very proud of myself, and so excited, and full of so much gratitude and awe than i have ever known.
