The Rest of December

Shabbos of December 11th:
Okay, So Shabbos i went to Ramat Beit Shemesh with a friend and stayed at her old neighbors house. There daughter is in Rachel Factor's seminary for the arts, Midreshes Shmuel. Her and 2 friends also were home for shabbos. It was the first shabbos in a long time that was rainy and slightly chilly. I went to a sem friend for Shalosh Seudos.
Then on Motzei Shabbos I went to Rabbi Kahn, my halacha teacher's house for Melave Malka ( a different teacher makes one every motzei shabbos).

Week of December 12th-18th
Monday I was casted as a snobby upper class woman in the production. I got my script and we started practicing soon after.
The next shabbos was an in shabbos. Friday night I ate at Ariella Zilberman's- Sarah E's cousin. On shabbos day after the seuda in the dorm, i took Aviah and Efrat Zilberman to the park. While we were there, 2 chabadnicks came into the park and called all the children to come for a shabbos party. They started to call out passukim of Tehillim and some Pisgamim for the kids to repeat after them. To be honest it looked like a cult, but it was so beautiful. The kids were so excited... and they were screaming out words of Torah, and then at the end the boys (who were only younger twenties probably) gave out candy to all the kids. Afterwards I ate Shalosh Seudos by Ariella again.

Week of December 19th- 25th
Monday we went bike riding at this random bike trail. The trip was a smashing success!!!! ..... A successful disaster that is. :P 4 girls ended up in the ER. Because of all the injuries we lost all our guides one by one until certain groups were left to navigate the trails alone. Me and 9 other girls got lost and ended up in an Arab village. When we started seeing black water tanks and little huts we turned and rode the other way as fast as we could.
Tuesday I went out to dinner with a friend... we bought a pizza and some drinks and sat nearby to eat. the only reason this stands out in my mind was b/c it was the first time i missed tuesday night classes. It wasn't the smartest move, but it gave me a chance to chillax and unwind. specially b/c breaks in schedule don't happen nemore b/c of play practices.
Thursday I went to the Aish Hatorah Cumzitz and then went with my friend to her old sem dorm in Maalei Adeumim for the night.
Friday morning the two of us went from there to Beitar for Shabbos. We stayed at her Israelli cousins' house.
Sunday night a girl in the seminary made a Brachos Party for a Zechus for one of our teachers who doesn't have any children yet.

Week of December 26th- 31st
Monday we had the day to prepare for the Benei Brak Shabbaton. At lunch a girl had a seizure in the dorm. A lot of people were really freaked out. I wasn't there and I guess that's what Hashem wanted, but it still bothers me that nobody knew what to do. They told me that not only did nobody know what to do but nobody knew Hatzala's number!!! By the time i found out what was going on, it was all under control. The girl was taken to the hospital, and B"H she is now back in school.
That night I went out with a friend and got the Iced coffee I had been craving for almost 3 weeks. Then we went to all girls karaoke which was basically empty. So we got a lot of chances on stage and had a ton of fun!!
Wednesday Sarah Epstien surprised me. She had told me and everyone who might know me, that she was coming on Thursday just so she could surprise me. lol, boy was i surprised!!!!!! i was on the computer actually and she covered my eyes. The funny thing was that i had just been thinking about her. So i had a feeling it might be her, but i quickly dismissed it. When i turned around and saw her i totally freaked out!!!! For real- i haven't seen her in almost 2 years! Since then i've pretty much been spending all my time divided between class, practice, and sarah.
Thursday night we went to Daniella Jacobowitz's wedding. All you Detroiters know her husband and his family.... Rabbi J's son Shmoo. Afterward we went to stay at Sarah's cousins house in Beit Shemesh for the night. We stayed up basically all night talking, and I left at around 7:00am to catch a bus back to sem in order to be on time to leave with everyone to Benei Brak for our shabbaton.
