so the kupa trip (stacie's birthday) was awesome. we took the kids to the bronx zoo on the free day. us and the entire state of new york. so we broke up into small groups. after a while we all began to get bored and then it began to rain. a lot. we all huddled into the pavillion. after that we drove down to madison square garden. what a crazy night ( Read more... )

like, for serious. I am a certified lifeguard for the next three years. the night before Sarah and I argued over who would become the lifeguard because our shichva could not sacrifice two madrichim. the morning started off interestingly enough. the instructor, dan, told us to eat fast before we would do our first test of the day. he told us we ( Read more... )

so on sunday the kids arrived. what an interesting group. there are the old time chotrim, the former amelim, and the chotrim who feel they should be in tzofim. AS of today they seem way more together, although they still do not always remember eachother's names. some good news though. Two homesick kids now really like camp, one autistic kid gets ( Read more... )

so i've been at camp for about a week. it is so awesome up here. nothing but chilling with camp friends and planning for the best summer ever. some crazy peulot. there was this funky party designed for "marty". one problem. I was marty and forgot the card that said my identity. so I decided to be a random kid and go in my underwear. the party was ( Read more... )

so last night michelle's parents hosted all of us for this dinner thing. they barbecued in the rain. how's that for dedication. almost everybody was there. some highlights were me rolling on the floor with Rachel, Rachel pushing me off of a couch and me rolling on the floor with Aviva. It was a good evening. Jasmine and I were our usual bantering ( Read more... )

so i woke up really late, like usual. had the simplest breakfast in the last two weeks and started a busy day. we went to the jeweler's first and bought a new watch for me. its so cool. hangs from my belt like the old one but so much lighter. then we went shopping and bought way too many groceries. then we went to kmart. there i got my toiletries ( Read more... )

so I have effectively done nothing since the hysterectomy. just stayed home and vegged. I've exercised a little but mostly have read and gone on the occasional bike ride to Herold's farm. I have read so many books that it is actually insane. yesterday I rented full metal alchemist from the library and watched the first four episodes. so awesome. I ( Read more... )

so yesterday I went to the hospital with mom. I had to wake up at 7:40. not fun two days after you graduate. anyway I was going in to see a hysterectomy as well as a day in the life of mom. I started taking the notes rom the minute I got into the car. about everything. the procedure, names of doctors that mom likes, definitions of hard medical ( Read more... )

so on thursday night I left my house at about 11:40 with alon to head to moose's house. this guy evan was with him. so they chose to rely on my sense of direction instead of their written directions. I was so happy. nobody ever listens to my sense of direction. so we drive by memory all the way across the tappen zee. then I make a small mistake. we ( Read more... )

so on memorial day monday i went to space farms. late. a half an hour late. very annoying. after the army training I had I hate being late. I feel stupid when i am. the zoo was nice. although I think some animals are very crowded for their habitat. whole areas of vegetation are stripped clean. I read a sign that made me think. it said that instead ( Read more... )
