So

So I think all that stuff i wrote in the foreign language probably isn't going to come to fruition, but hey, it's a start. there's plenty to go 'round.

So talk about random, but it turns out that Abraham Joshua Heshel's daughter, who is the head of the Jewish Studies department at Princeton, went to Trinity. I mentioned this to one of the jewish professors who comes to Hillel and he said that many respected rabbis and jewish leaders have come to Trinity. I was, to say the least, shocked. its called TRINITY for god's sake.

I've been invited to Shabbat lunch at the Hillel director (Lisa)'s house tomorrow afternoon. I have to say that i'm super honored because the other two people going are the co-presidents of Hillel. I'm really excited about this. it'll be nice to be in an actual house.

and my mom is coming to visit on Thursday. It's going to be interesting, me showing her around and all this. she said that it's going to be weird for her to see me in this brand-new environment (she's never been here). It'll be nice to see someone familiar (let alone my mother), and chances are I'll feel that much closer to her because of both the seperation and the excitement I'm sure she's feeling to see her first son in college. She's also coming to services (which i'm leading, for the first time, go figure) so hopefully I'll make her proud.

I'm trying to think of a name for my computer. Its gotta be American. a quieter name, subtly intelligent, very agreeable, very sharp, kind of shy.

any ideas? LOVE to hear them.
