Swaga

It was raining here in the Holy Land. Raining and winding. Why can't wind be a verb? I think it should be. It's winding here in the Holy Land. There. If Nick from Frindle can do it, so can I.  So, Wednesday's weather was a good interpretation of my mood: stormy and gloomy and cold. We had a very mean final in computers. It consisted of a grand total of three questions, one of which was impossible, and I don't think I did very well. Oh, well. There are worse things in life. Don't ask me what.  Two Shabboses ago, we had a Shabbos Kallah for Chana, our friend who's getting married this week. There we were, 15 girls in an Airbnb, hoping we would all make it out alive. With 15 girls in close proximity for over 25 hours, who knew what would happen?  But we all did make it out alive, and we had fun while doing it. We played fun games, talked some Torah, had some light conservations (no, that's not a typo), stayed up way later than planned, ate delicious food and d...

Chocolate Twizzlers

Shalom, y'all.  First and foremost, I am feeling fabulous. Baruch Hashem, yesterday I woke up feeling so much better than the past few days  weeks. My throat was a little sore, but nothing that some tea wouldn't fix right up.  That's not to say that I woke up and felt refreshed enough to go to class. No, I definitely skipped the first half-hour of class, but I was feeling fine. So, three cheers for being healthy.  I have finally opened up the chocolate twizzlers that I've been hoarding for many months. Why? Because it's final season. And I do mean season. Not a week, not even two weeks. A full month of finals. 30 days of studying and tests and tears and little-to-no-sleep and many, many, many chocolate twizzlers.  For Shabbos, I went to Ramois which my friend, Chana. She's getting married in two weeks. We have her Shabbos Kallah this week.  Shabbos was very nice. My little cousins liked me somewhat. At least, the littlest one did. The other one just cried ...

Back in Bidud

Hullo, there. 'Tis the sicko in quaranteeeen (that's for you, Abba). As of now, I'm only in bidud because one of my dira mates tested positive. And because I want an excuse to be antisocial. And because I have much homework that needs to be done. So, now is the perfect time to do it.  So, what has been going on my life? Good question, Augustus!  Honestly, not much. Let's see. Shabbos was really cute. I went to Avigial D's house for Shabbos with Avigayil A. Her parents went away for Shabbos, so it was just us three girlsies. We cooked all the food--and by we, I mean Avigial D--for the entire Shabbos. On Friday night, we went to Rabbi Zucker's shul, which had such a beautiful Kabbalas Shabbos. And then we went back to eat some gourmet food. For all those who don't know, Avigial D. is a gourmet chef.  Obviously, we discussed some books, some Torah topics, talked about dating, sang, and just had a really great time. We went to sleep pretty late, but that's t...
