The past couple have days have been really awesome. After tests and tons of homework during the week, I arrived in at the Great Neck Youth House at 4:30 Friday afternoon for Chazak General Board weekend. I love board weekend -- it's one of the most chill, and generally awesome USY events I have ever been to. We did programs and what not until we had to get ready for shabbat. I led Kabbalat Shabbat. Mhmm. I also did Haftorah on Saturday morning and read Torah saturday afternoon. Good stuff.
Altogether, board weekend was a way cool bonding experience. I got closer with so many people, which is awesome. Saturday night Pam and I had our first talk with Eddie about Kinnus!! Ahhh I can't wait. All of you people who are reading this [which is likely to number in at approximately 0] had best be coming. <3
Sunday morning I got up for Driver's ed, and after that I went to a college fair thingy at Nassau Colliseum. I hate those things. It's really stressful actually having to think about schools. My number one school hasn't even been at the two I've been to, which kind of annoys me, but whatever. I've found some interesting things. I have no idea what I want to do with my future. But that shall be saved for a different journal entry.
Oh, I saw Sam M. at the college fair. It was cute.
Last night, I went to Danielle's sweet 16, and I had an amazing time. I didn't realize how much I missed the people from Usdan. Seeing all of the old school people, and then all of the new people was kind of weird but it was so much fun. I saw all of these people who I really hadn't seen in quite a long time. Unfortunately given the atmosphere of a party it was not ideal for catching up, but seeing certain people's reactions to seeing Ariel and I there was kind of funny. While some people did not recognize me [which was a tad disheartening], others were like forzen in shock and ran up and hugged me. It was so good to see some people. I hadn't seen many for a LONG time, and I was so lucky to really have a chance and talk with Dani, Ally, and Kim. I miss those girls already... I want to see them all in the VERY near future. Hopefully friday, lol. No but seriously, I need to stay in touch with these girls. We're close when we see each other, but we need to make sure it happens more often.
I have an extreme mix of emotions from last night too. But alas, I have some homework and cleaning to do before Rosh Hashannah starts, so I have to go take care of that and either update later or after the chag.
Shannah tovah u'metukah!!
