Josh's Visit to SD
josh came to visit me for the weekend and it was really great. thursday he came to class with me and got to see me in action during section and then came to lecture with me. we did a lot of talking and spent a lot of time together. thursday night my aunt called and was all dramatic and shit. that was a downer.
friday was much better. we went to meditation with rabbi lisa and then walked around campus until i changed for shabbat. that was by far the best day of the trip. we sang and were campy during services and it was really nice to be there with him. i feel so comfortable in my religion now, and knowing that judaism is something that we both share. after dinner with hillel and my friends here at UCSD we convinced Natalie and Allison to come to movie night where we watched Mr. Smith Goes To Washington. after the movie ended we hung out and talked in our sleepy stupors, which was amazing.
saturday day was okay. dull at first because there was nothing to do, but saturday night was excitng because we went to Foosh, our school's improv comedy team and we got miriam to come with us. the first show was okay, but the second show was really funny.
sunday i was pretty bummed the entire day because i knew that Josh was leaving. there was some sadness, but we walked around a lot and it was nice.
i liked josh being here but at the same time it was weird because he and i have personalities that clash with the school and so i felt like even though i was with him i wasn't busy enough. it still seemed sedintary to me. i love spending time with him but the thing is i have no clue what i would have done had he not been there because i would have had nothing to do. at first when he was at the airport i thought it might get better and i was starting to feel good about the school, but then i went to a debate today about the athletics referendum that is on the UCSD ballot this year and i felt like my complaints about this school and its lack of enthusiasm and support for an on campus social life makes me want IU even more. i got back from lunch and IU sent me an e-mail with an ID number and i can apply for housing when i feel like it, but i think i might want to wait a little bit before i decide to do that or decide anything really.
Josh's visit has got me thinking more about what i want from a school and where i would feel comfortable. i will wait until my second trip there to make a decision.
i love you Josh.
