night of the living all nighters!

I went to bed last night at 3:00am.

I had finished the written part of the work for Ruth's class at 11:00pm, and went out for a break to talk to ppl. No one was really free, so I went back at 11:30

At which time one of my friends had a bad reaction to a pill and was coughing and couldn't breathe. My other friend was on the phone with 911, and I went down to get them from the lobby. They gave her oxygen, since her throat was closing up, and her coughing decreased.

She was really stubborn and didn't want to go to the ER, but they took her in an ambulance. We walked over to the hospital at around 12.

By the time we got there, she was fine, but she had to wait to be seen. There was the possibilty that whatever it was could happen again, and she might have needed to stay overnight for observation.

At 2:15 or so she was finally seen, and the doctor explained that it wasn't a chemical interaction of 2 meds, but rather, her normal medicine, which she had been taking without problems for 3 years, got caught in her throat, but now it had dissolved and she was fine. She could continue to take the medicine, but if this happened again, she should see a doctor.

So I imed shlomo and told him to find someone to give the d'var halacha, since I was gonna skip davening and not set an alarm or anything.

I told Mark I might not be at chevruta, but he could call me after 11 and try and wake me.

I told Yosef to call me at 1 and make sure I went to Ruth's class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke myself at 11:00, and ended up learning with Mark. I had a little lunch, but there wasn't really anything i wanted to eat [and yet, I'm fleishig now]. I'm currently tired, still hungry [I might make deli roll], and drained. I called Ruth and she told me not to come to class, and I could somehow make up the work.

I'm thinking of staying in bed the rest of the day, though that's not so healthy. It's dark, and grey out, and I can't deal with the lack of light. all the lights in my room are on, which helps a little, but I need more than that.

How I feel right now

( :( )

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

23:36:05) Rachel: omg
(23:36:18) Rachel: so i had 2 boxes i was putting in the garbage chute
(23:36:35) Rachel: as i was going out, steven, the ortho boy across the hall, said hi to me
(23:36:38) Rachel: and i just realized
(23:37:04) Rachel: i was wearing a tank top under my shirt, and i took off my overshirt right now and completely forgot about it
(23:37:09) Rachel: so he saw me in my tank top
(23:37:40) Rachel: eeeep
(23:37:51) Rachel: if he hadn't been ortho it wouldn't have been so bad
(23:37:56) Rachel: but aaaaaah
(23:38:09) Ariela Housman: steven?
(23:38:13) Ariela Housman: i don't think i know him
(23:38:22) Rachel: he's a freshman. he's from texas
(23:38:28) Rachel: i don't know him so well
(23:38:32) Rachel: but he exists
(23:38:39) Rachel: and has now seen me in a tank top
(23:39:09) Ariela Housman: technically speaking, shomer tzniut obligation falls on the man
(23:39:23) Ariela Housman: he isn't supposed to allow himself to see women clad inappropriately
(23:39:28) Ariela Housman: so it's his fault, not yours
(23:40:11) Rachel: well he was just walking to his room
(23:40:37) Rachel: and i'm pretty sure orthodoxy would say if i'm leaving my room, it's my responsibility to dress appropriately
(23:40:56) Ariela Housman: halachically speaking, that's not the case
(23:41:00) Ariela Housman: it's just mesorah
(23:41:13) Ariela Housman: or minhag, rather
(23:42:17) Rachel: well if halacha includes daat torah...
(23:42:19) Rachel: i dunno
(23:42:24) Rachel: i feel really icky now

yeah. this is the first time in almost a year since i've been untznius in front of a guy. i guess i wouldn't have been as freaked out if someone not jewish had seen me. and he's the only orthodox guy on the floor. great. gotta love my luck
