Three months ago, I wrote my very first Moishe House blog. Now, looking back, the first thing that comes to mind is that time really does fly. Although I was very excited to be living in MHP three months ago, I was also quite overwhelmed at the time, struggling to juggle my Moishe House responsibilities with work, grad school applications, friends, family, etc. There just didn’t seem to be enough time in the day for everything, and I was beginning to feel like my Moishe House commitments were more like chores, rather than things I actually enjoyed doing.
It’s funny how quickly things have changed though. Even though I’m just as busy as I was three months ago (if not more so), my Moishe House tasks now feel fun and much less burdensome. I have tried to identify when exactly this shift in outlook ocurred, but I don’t think there was a particular moment when suddenly things fell into place. Instead, I think Moishe House life just took some time to get used to, and now that I’ve gotten the hang of things, I really love my life here at MHP. Whether it's mingling at Shabbat dinners, getting messy while making challah, or preparing for break fast-- I am having a blast and can't wait for the rest of the fall! It took a while, but I have finally settled in here at MHP.
