Well, I've had a good two days. Or at least parts of them were enjoyable enough to let the overall feeling be a good one. Of course I'm exempting the fasting part of today and the Psychmetric-studying part of both days.
Yesterday I visited a friend of mine from midrasha with Ma'ayan. We both rode the bus to Jerusalem and hung out at Shira's for

hey, don't get drunk when you "drain the glass" :)

Aw, silences between people are unavoidable. I mean, it's sort of ackward if you let yourself feel awkward, but if you "act calm and cool" (which works just by telling yourself to do so) it's not so bad. I mean, if you were walking down the street with your sister, and you were just walking and not talking, just being together, it's not so bad, is it? It's normal. Which is why I always tell myself that I should have that same comfort level that I have with other people that I have with one of MY brothers. Whenever I'm nervous or whatever, I just act cool and calm like I actaully feel like when I'm with one of my brothers- and that influences the person you're with to do the same. So that's my bit of social theory.

I personally disagree with what Tamzette said. I used to think myself that if I was the caller instead of the callee, that meant that I was the one doing all the trying and therefore I was sort of pining for my friend. But it turns out, that is not the case. I think that you know deep in your heart if the person wants to be your friend, and how much as well. You can just tell. And sometimes it takes me to call some of my friends, but sometimes some of my friends have been calling me more often than when I've been calling them. But I think the best thing to keep in mind is that you should call everyone/ email people at least once every few weeks, because if you don't, your friend might forget and that wouldn't be good! I don't beleive the whole thing of not being the "caller" all the time- because it's dangerous- you could come to incorrect conclusions based on sheer forgetfulness from the other person. I have had quite a few cases where I did not call someone for a few weeks, then they end up calling me, and I'm sorry that I forgot to call every few weeks and see how they're doing. So I wouldn't want someone judging me for simply being forgetful, because I didn't mean to forget, and I will try harder in the future- I learn hopefully from that.

So I hope you were able to get through that :)

and "queen of the class?" oh my gosh, my head would have burst into steam if that had happened in my school (*snort chuckle) . but no worries, your school was not the only one with pompous goings on in it.
