my awesomely amazingly chill weekend.
FRIDAY: went into the city and saw All Shook Up with the family. All Shook Up was good. music was awesome. although i did find it slightly disturbing that the guy who played the Elvis-like character -- his shirt from the first act was auctioned off ... and sold for $700. now, not only is this actor a virtual unknown, but you know have just spent $700 on a smelly, stained T-shirt. and you can't wash it b/c it's autographed ... the only solution i've come up with for it so far, is that you have to display the shirt in an air-tight frame in a VERY prominent place in your house. ... even then, it's not worth $700 ...
SATURDAY: attempted to do work and severely disappointed myself ... but then i went shopping and Spiga dinner w/ mom and then i went on USYs Mystery Bus Ride. which was a MAAAAJOR disappointment since we went to White Plains Bowl ... have i mentioned that i don't really like bowling? and that the thing cost $25 ... mostly for the bus. then we went back to the shul and played Mafia ... which is byfar the best game ever. then a few of us went to the Tarrytown Diner. and then i went home. and slept.
SUNDAY: after arriving home at 1 ... i woke up at 8 to go to work, where i left early to get ready for Greg's Bar-Mitzvah party. i got to wear my pretty new outfit ... which i managed to somehow stain BEFORE i left the house ... don't ask. and yes, i was INCREDIBLY pissed off. but regardless, his party was so much fun. i was at a "teen table" with a buncha really nice kids ... but i mostly hung out w/ Tara's friends. mainly b/c i know them, and to know them is to love them. these 7th graders are byfar the coolest, most chill, amazingly awesome 7th graders ever. next year, i'm not only going to convince these kids to go to Kadimas ... they're going to go to as many USY events as the other board members will allow them to go to. they are just that awesome.
all in all, i'll say i had a very nice weekend. granted, i'm amazingly pissed at myself for my lack of motivation in my american studying, but seeing that we have 2 weeks left before the AP ... i'm thinking i'll whip myself into shape. either that, or bomb the AP ... yeah ... i'm gunna go sleep now, since my body is yelling at me for depriving it of sufficient sleep this weekend.
