Camels and Donkeys

So I find myself in a bit of a funny situation. For, you see, I had not planned on writing anything this week. I even told you all that. And yet, here I am, writing this week. So, I hope you all don't think I'm a bit fat liar, or even a small skinny liar, or even a medium-sized, medium-height liar. I'm not a liar, okay. Maybe I was one time once back then, but now I'm not. Honestly. 

Glad we cleared up Hoodie's trust issues. Now, we can get to the fun stuff.

Hudi wants people to write her blog or is it ‘right’ her blog as in לתקן - to fix’ but forgive me I have Ulpan brain. And speaking of brains… er…um… what were we talking about? I walked to the refrigerator with my pen but why would a pen go in the refrigerator?! That would make it cold!! Thank you for asking, no, I’m warm thank you. 

Wait? Let me reread what I wrote and I must have written because I have a cold pen. 

Oh!! Hudi’s blog. (OPS) and I know you know that I know you know about OPS because it’s in Hudi’s blog. Blog…?! Blog…?! Something about blogs…

I think that the person who wrote above blog really channeled her inner-Hudi. We all have one; we just need to utilize it more. 

Speaking of inner-Hudi, mine is screaming and crying right now. Why? Well, glad you asked. I HATE FINALS. And finals hate me. It's all just mutually and mutably hateful. Just hatingness all around. Just so much hate. And yes, I just had a final today. And yes, I went in saying, "I'm either getting a 30 or an 80." And yes, I left the room after the test saying, "Well, I'm getting a 30."

So finals are stupid. 

Anywho, let's talk about happier subjects, like the nuclear war in Malaysia. 

But also, Shabbos. It was beautiful. We had a shabbaton in Baka. There were about 15 us there, and it was absolutely grand. 

Friday night, Faeven and I walked to the koisel. A wonderful walk with my wonderul friend, and my favorite time and night to be at the kois. Almost no one is there, and the yeshivas nearby are singing, and it's just incredible. 

Shabbos day, we did speed dating, which was hysterically fun. Learned lots of info about my college-mates. 

Shaleshudis, we did some singing. And then, after Shabbos, we got the swag (the real reason we were all there). With our hats and sunglasses on, looking like the soccer moms that no one wants to see (you know, the ones who think they look cool but actually look like the most dorkiest dorks ever), we played frisbee. And I only hit three people, which is highly impressive, considering we played for about 45 minutes. 

And then, we went to raid the kitchen. Broke college students who want neither to cook nor shop are the best cleaners. And we cleaned out that kitchen.

So, armed with about 30 pounds worth of food, plus bottles of juice and soda, plus snacks, Faeven and I headed out. We alternated positions, first carrying the stuff separately, the together, until we finally decided on a camel sort-of position, where Faeven held the box on my back as we moved along slowly, very slowly. 

And then, a random guy came up and asked us if we needed help. "Who, us?" we scoffed. "We've got this handled."

He laughed. "You look like a camel. Camel and donkey. He he he."

And then we laughed, because we did, indeed, look ridiculous. 

And then he took the box and carried it all the way to the bus stop like it weighed nothing. Men. Humph!

But carrying that food home was worth every moment of embarrassment, because now we have a week's worth of food. 

So far, this week has been absolutely crazy. There's been the many hours of avidly not studying, the procrastinating studying, the dancing and doing yoga instead of studying, the doing almost everything else humanly possible besides for studying. Hence, the aforementioned 30 that I probably received on my final today. 

All that being said, I have to go now and study for my next test, which means opening up my computer and then watching every single video of my niece and nephews and doing everything else except for studying. 

So bye, y'all. 

Toodles from Hoodles!
