College Life

I have friends! I have two real friends in bio, which is great, because we help each other and schedule study dates. I have two real friends in Hebrew, and one of them is my best friend Adina and we are a great team. She is also an Israel freshman and we have similar views about lots of things in life. I have three friends in Human Development, including two people I have known and loved for years. I have three friends in Nutrition as well! I have many friends in my dorm and I am very friendly with my hall. You'd be surprised how well you can cement a friendship while teeth brushing. I also have many, many friends at Hillel. A lot of those friends are other Israel Freshmen and we are quite close and go about together at night and such.

On Friday night, after services and Shabbat dinner, I went out with Adina and Julia to the America Party at Alden's frat. It was really great! I kept running into people I knew and liked! This included Max, a friend from the Meinig Scholars Program. It was a great joy to run into him in such an environment, because we first met in a rather stuffy meet-and-greet at a bowling alley. I know it seems like meet-and-greets can't be stuffy if they're in a bowling alley, but if you get a bunch of kids together at Cornell and tell them they are scholars, I assure you it can get stuffy.

On Saturday night, I watched ללכת על המים or Walk On Water as it is called in English. It is truly an amazing film. Israeli films are the best! They have the realest characters and conflicts and it's all shot on location and none of this Hollywood crap. No special effects. Just human experience and suffering and love and beauty! This is what the art of film is about!

Cried about TIME. You have let me down.

Studied all day, breaking for Ballroom Dancing with Joe D. We are waltz pros.

Watched two episodes of Glee to reward myself for gaining so much new knowledge regarding ATP Synthesis.

Applied for a job with a 9% acceptance rate (by that I mean, about 100 people apply and they only have about 9 spots) which is crazy and depressing. I really wanted to be an over enthusiastic early morning tour guide with too much school spirit and a plethora of random knowledge about the history and architecture of Cornell University. I really would have been a natural, I am sure of it.

I think it might be time for one last Glee episode. Is that too many? I can't think anymore. Damn you, peer reviewed articles on studies showing the effects of B6 on PMS. Why can't you just show the full text on line!!?? I really do hate you.
