theyellowhobbitSo this shabbat I had yet another meal. The invite was amusing, so I'll post it, so you can see the great amusingness that is the Rachel Meal Invite:
Dear All,
As most of you know, yesterday I dropped Geology, because I am neither a rock, nor a jock. Now I am officially a lazy bum, who finally has some free time on her hobbity hands. So of course, I was thinking to myself "oh no! I have no work! Whatever shall I do?(1)"
So, with a little bit of quick thinking, a little bit of boredom while selling Teatron tickets(3), and a little bit of latop availability, I decided this:
I'll organize a meal.(6)
And that is how I came to write this e-mail.
So, this Saturday afternoon, February 5th, you are all invited to what I think is the 6th meal I've made at Penn thus far.
You all know the drill. E-mail me, tell me you can come [and that you're bringing 100 guests or something] etc. And then I'll send you your lovely assignments, and maybe I'll give you nicknames.
Just so you know, I ordered real meat from best value, so there will be a super-awesome deli-roll for all to consume.
For great footnotes, (see below)
~TYH
(1) Actually, I do have lots of reading to do, plus a bazillion (2) Teatron errands.
(2) Not an accurate count
(3) Come see the Teatron(4) show "The Diary of Anne Frank" Wednesday at 8, Thursday at 6 and 9 and Saturday at 8:30.(5)
(4) Teatron: The Hebrew word for theater. also- a robot that makes tea. my teatron is set to make wizzostky almond tea. what can /your/ teatron do?
(5) I'll admit, that was a shameless plug.
(6) Avidan helped, a little.
So originally 9 people said yes. Then a 10th said yes. Then I invited a few more. Then one who had said yes realized the meal was saturday and not friday and changed to a no. Then Simone asked if I could host a prefrosh. Then Saturday at kiddush Yoni asked if he and his sister could come [having rejected my meal beforehand]. So we ended up with 17...I think.
Friday night Michael, Tova, and I ended up staying in Hillel for a really long time. Then I went to 403 for a bit. Then I went back to my room.
Of course, I woke up at 10, the one time I needed to be up for the beginning of davening. I was giving the d'var Torah, and needed time to prepare it...I had looked at some stuff Friday afternoon, and decided on the famous "winging it" approach.
I talked about when a father sells his daughter into slavery, and how it's a mitzvah for the master to marry her, and otherwise he has to help her be redeemed. It ended up being good somehow. At least, everyone said they liked it. And it had Torah in it, which automatically made it better than the one on Friday night.
So Saturday night was the last show of Anne Frank. I sat with Avidan and Michael, and they liked the show. The place was packed! Yay! I did a good job as publicity!
