Not leaving the building.
Jan. 20th, 2004 05:02 pmI got no sleep last night, because I went to bed at 4, despite being done talking to Ari at 2. Let's just say that Hebrew is a bitch. She didn't even check my homework!!!! I was late because no one was at the table until 11:10, so she might have gone over the homework then, but if I'm getting carpel tunnel [spelling?] I should have a good reason for it. Like knitting.
On my way up to Middle East in the 20th Century, I was in the slow, slow elevator with Zach, a CJC-ite. I asked if he had done the reading yet. He said no. I said that I hadn't either [napping in Hillel takes priority, as do late night conversations with people]. Of course, our teacher was in the elevator with us! At least nothing is close to being due yet...
Sitting next to Josh in class is interesting. *And I know you're going to read this sooner or later, Josh* He's like a cat. If you give him a ball of yarn or a knitted scarf or something, he'll ignore it, but if you're knitting, he'll play with it as you're trying to work.
I had more tabling this afternoon but we stopped a half hour early.
This time gave me enough time to go to Hillel, where I had to go anyways to drop things off. I asked the dining people if I could get ice cream even though lunch was over, and they let me help myself. The salad bar was still open and there was still pizza left, so I effectively had a free lunch [despite the adage...]
Then I got to go prop shopping with Julie, Jo, Sarah, and Lisa. I got the sewing machine!
Now I'm in Hillel again. Bethany got pretty yarn and crochet hooks and taught me how to do kippot. I'll be making them for all my Jewish guy friends, and my Reform or Conservative female friends that wear kippot. And myself. It takes more time than knitting, but it gives me some variety.
Someday in the distant future I'm davening with OCP and wearing my tallis and a kippah. And t'fillin [though I have none]. That will be fun.
*No, I'm not actually planning on doing this. I'm not crazy. Or contreversial*
I have teatron and links and dinner tonight, so I decided it was easier to just not leave. I better get something accomplished besides knitting/crocheting.
