the madness begins

Almost into reading period just one more day of class tomorrow. I went to class then got my hair cut today. I like it when its this short =) Then I spent about 5 hours reading at the book store. I found a book that is a bunch of experts in a bunch of fields trying to answer the same question I am researching so thats helpful. Now I just have to turn a 600 page book into an 18 pg paper.

I just got pulled downstairs for the reading of the Megilla. Aparently today is a jewish holiday called Purim. The whole idea is about flipping things around. The rabbi read a story in hebrew (i followed in a book with english) about a queen named Esther and a man name Haman who is manipulating the king into killing the jews. Every time they say Haman's name you are supposed to yell and play a noise maker. You are also supposed to get tipsy enough to not be able to tell the difference between the wickedness of Haman and blessedness like the king did. So they were passing around a bottle of vodka and taking shots. The rabbi also handed out little bags of treats afterwards before heading off to the next frat he was reading at. I got GUSHERS! I love gushers =)

Yesterday was all sunny and 50 degrees. Today it snowed 4 inches of slush. If spring doesn't come soon I am going to turn translucent. Maybe then I could take up a job as a cave dwelling salamander or something.


See the resemblance?



ok back to work
