Bright Red

Wow. I haven't missed a week's blog post in quite some time. That should just tell all y'all that I no longer like you. JK. It just means that I have no time to write, or do anything at all in this entire universe except for schoolwork. 

But today, we must celebrate, actually. It's quite a great day today. My friend and I finished a crazy hard project that we'd been working on for a very long time last night...at 4 am. We are very excited and happy, and ready to begin doing all the other work that we've been neglecting these past weeks.

But first, I will enjoy my newfound freedom. 

Let me begin from last week's Shabbos, spent in Nevey Yaaqov with three friends. We ate two of the meals at our host family, the saintly Gruns, I will call them. They are very kind souls who host my friends and me many times, even though they have three kids, one of whom happens to be a therapy baby.

For the other meal, Mikvah-Jumper Avigayil and I went to a very cute family. They had two girls who literally wouldn't speak a word to us the whole time, but the mother was super sweet. And the food was great. We had tacos! Goals, I tell you. 

So last Shabbos was really great, baruch Hashem, Lefum Tzara Agra, Miktzas Hayom Kechulo, Kafah Alayhem Har Kegigis. 

And then Sunday was back to school. A hilarious and most uncomfortable situation happened in our math class. Our teacher, an Israeli man, is giving us an example about how x loves y (don't ask me why he chose that), and he says that x is Joseph and y is Karen, so Joseph loves Karen. One girl in the class starts snorting, so we all look at her inquisitively, and she explains that those are her parents' names, and they're divorced. After she reveals this, another girl actually turns bright red in the face from laughing, and I can't stop looking at the teacher, who didn't quite know what to do with himself. He felt so awkward, and it was hilarious, indeed. 

Speaking of the word indeed, which we weren't really speaking of, let's see how it fits in with a Strange Snippet that Faeven said this week: 

"Oh my, It's like we're living in Pride and Prejudice here." 

This was in response to a much longer, most ridiculous conservation in which I was being super dramatic and using words like the aforementioned indeed every few words. 

A friend also said, "Oh, my. I think I just saw your soul for a minute there." I wish I could tell you the context, but honestly I don't remember. OPS, you see. 

So, besides for that, my week was pretty much normal. On Thursday, I gave a presentation in my Pirkei Avos class on Ben Bag Bag and Ben Hai Hai, and the song kept on playing in my head. Good thing I didn't sing it aloud, for that would have been highly awkward for everyone involved, especially the only male in the class (our teacher). 

And then this Shabbos came, and seven friends and I piled into my famous friend Tzip's house, for her parents are in America. So we made all the food (and by we, I mean Faeven and Shana Aleph), and it was such a fun and nice Shabbos. For Kabbalas Shabbos, we went to a Carlebach shul, which was stuh-ning (two words. Stuh-ning.). And the meals were awesomeness. We had a great game, where we all had to burst into song at the same time and see who could hold in their laughter for the longest. I lost every single time. My friend literally started to sing opera there. It was hilarious. We had some great Parsha questions and divrei Toirah and games. And the food was amazing. 

And then Motzei Shabbos, my friend and I worked on that project for like eight hours straight, but we finished it!!

And I skipped school today. He he. Hey, no judgement. Don't look at me with that tone of voice. You would have done the same. Thank you. 

Bye, y'all. Pray for me. 

Toodles from Hoodles!
