Subconscious

The itsy bitsy spider walked slowly down the hill

Pens and books in bag, she was feeling slightly ill

School was starting soon, and she was void of all such cheer

And she wanted more than ever to be a sanitation engineer

School has begun again. So far, it actually hasn't been terrible. I'm wary saying that, because as soon as I start thinking my classes aren't so bad, then our teachers start speaking in Greek, giving us homework questions that should be outlawed in the civilized world. 

But in one of our classes, math logic, we actually learned English grammar. I was beaming the whole class. I never imagined we'd learn about compound vs. simple sentences in a class called math logic. It was one of the greatest moments of my college career (which isn't saying much, considering my college career so far). 

So Sunday was our first day of school. But something else happened on Sunday. My friend, Adina, and I made a siyum on Nach. It was all very special. It was our own mini Simchas Torah. We finished off Divrei Hayamim and began with Bereishis. It was so cool how it all worked out: we started Bereishis on the Shabbos of Bereishis. So that was so many excitings!

Yesterday was Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan. I went to neitz at the churva with Faeven. It was stunning. There was this little boy--he must have been about 10--who was singing the whole time, and it was so pure. I want to have little Israeli boys who sing in their little off-key Israeli accents.

Yesterday was also Rut's birdfday. So we got together with her, and we all went to Gan Sacher, where we counted how many dates we saw and guessed which date each couple was on. We're so mature. 

We also talked and hung out and played rummikub. It was all super cute. 

Going back to Shabbos, I was in Ramois with my cousins. For the first time ever, my little cousins liked me. I think it was because they actually recognized my face. So I played with them a lot, went on a lovely walk to the park, and just enjoyed Shabbos. I learned how to say subconscious in Hebrew, which will definitely help me in my quest to learn how to speak basic Hebrew. 

Motzei Shabbos, I actually walked from Ramois to the kotel, which was such a nice walk.

And now, I'm sitting in a class and ignoring every word that the teacher is saying. He he he. I love being done with school on our literal third day. Does not bode well for the rest of the semester. 

Hope all of you are doing well.

Serial Cannibalist

There was a serial killer reading a magazine story while eating cornflakes-- he's a serial reading a serial eating cereal. As Faeven put it, he's like a serial cannibalist (I think she meant cannibal).  Speaking of Faeven, she and I went out today to our favorite falafel place, which is really just a yeshiva bachur hangout. She and I had such a good time, hocking it up. And then Mikvah-Jumper Avigayil came along (well, really she was walking peacefully along on her way when Faeven ran out and made her come talk to us), and we all laughed and talked about ridiculous things. And then Faeven and I walked around this store with everything, and I mean everything. You want a boogie board? Neon swim trunks? A tube? Mini spoons? A three-in-one ice scream mixer, slicer, and juicer? And we acted ridiculous the whole time, like if the CH saw me there, he'd probably pretend not to know me. Did I say probably? I meant definitely.  Anywho, did you know that Tzivie is an engaged wo...

Proceed with caution. Symptoms of reading this too much: loss of brain cells, migraines, headaches, groaning, rolling eyes, etc. The Dorky Daily by Judith Brat: The snow was falling quickly, sticking to hair and clothing but not the ground. Hudicus came down the steps, proudly wearing her hobo jacket.  "Um, Huds? Does that thing keep you warm?" The question came from Shloims, fully bundled up in two coats, a sweater, gloves, a hat, a scarf, fuzzy socks, snow boots, and with an umbrella in hand.  Hudicus would have normally quipped back with a witty reply, but she was tired that morning, so the retort was more like, "Um, Shloims, does your coat not keep you warm? I mean, does my coat keep me warm? I mean, do you wish your coat were a hobo jacket? I mean, hobo...coat...jacket...I mean...shnarkloobs..." And that just proves that Hudicus is lying when she says that she's a morning person. But she's also not a night person. Hmmm. Maybe she's just not a person...

Super-baby

You can't kill me, everyone; I have a child to care for. No, not for babysitting. No, not my toy dolls (I told you not to tell everyone about that). It's my real-life child. She's real. If you don't believe me...you're smart. But I'm not even lying this time. I'm telling the truth.  Pretty much, I have to an issue an apology to all (read: maybe one) of my fans that I have not written this blog in some time (read: like seven years), but I have good reasons. Let's go through them:  1) I was sick for like 3 months, because of the aforementioned child that is mine.  2) I didn't wanna 3) I left the school-that-must-not-be-named and so I was no longer crazy stressed and didn't need this blog to be my stress-relief, and I didn't have heresy classes to write it in anymore 4) I had really bad writer's block 5) I am no longer funny or weird because I have to be an adult, as there is an actual child in my house now.  6) I forgot I think those reaso...
