Almost Vacation!

Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and the end of finals! Last night was the conclusion of 4 out of 5 finals! I still have one paper left, but I'm feeling pretty good about it because I plan to finish it tonight while babysitting! Today my mom and I started the infamous cookie weekend! Today me made about ten different kinds I think! Ah. This is my favorite time of the year! Tomorrow morning, the festivities will continue!

Have you ever met someone that you just immediately have a connection with? You walk in the room and they are the first person that you see? I met someone like this recently. He is really sweet, funny and has a great personality. We have been talking all week and it's crazy because we have so much in common! He is truely a wonderful and ambitious person.

Well, the kiddies are calling! I hope y'all have a great weekend!

Also..... Add this to my wish list! Not that I have a christmas tree, but I could definitely find an alternative use for them! They are sooo cute!

Ugh. Finals

Life during finals is not very exciting! Yesterday I went to the NU Cafe with Meridee and worked on my Jewish Pop. Culture Paper. Then I watched a lot of FRIENDS! Ah. My stress show. Whenever I need to take a break from life, I always turn to Friends. I love it. Last night I did some studying for the Art History Final. Today I got comments back from my JPC Professor and I am finishing the last draft before I send it to mommy! I will also finish going over my note cards and reads for Art History. Yay for being productive. And.... in an hour I have diving captains practice! Yay...the excitingness in life. I'm babysitting on Saturday night, which should be exciting. I really need to make some money because I feel like I've been blowing through!


In other news.... I got my suit for training trip! I got it in purple! It's super cute!

"May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true
And do unto to others ad you'd have done to you.
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay."

Promakah 2011

Whew! What a weekend!


Friday night was craft night at Blackstone! Nica and Sam came over for some excellent craft time, pasta making, croissant making and nail painting. It was super! Andrew and I went to the library for a little and worked on the thesis for my Jewish Pop. Culture paper. Then..... I came back to Blackstone and dyed my hair pomegranate with my roommates! I really like how it came out! Check out the Promakah pictures below to see what it looks like!
Yesterday afternoon I took a trek down to the University of Hartford, located in West Hartford, CT. For the past five years the Hartford Hillel has held Promakah (Prom+Chanukah). It was so much fun!! I got all dressed up with a bunch of really great people! Below are some pictures from the event! Today, when I left Hartford, I went to Rein's Deli for lunch with my aunt to celebrate her birthday! It was so delicious! I got latkes, and I couldn't finish them so I had some to bring back to school! Yumm! Tonight is the women's swim+dive team holiday panty exchange! woohoo! I'll have to post about what i get!

Rainy Day

Pretty uneventful day here! I got up early to write my Art History paper. It is so nice to have it out of the way...I mean it's due tomorrow...so I suppose I didn't have a choice, but I'm happy that I don't have to write it tonight after my Photo Final! This morning in Kitchen Chemistry, my professor told me that my presentation was excellent and everyone LOVED my doughnuts! Yay! Now all I have to focus on is my JPC paper and my Art History Final. Tomorrow in class we are going to review what we need to know for the Art History Final next friday. Oh! My final is from 6-8 on a Friday night! Who scheduled this!? Not that I am going to be going out...but I just want to go home! It's cookie weekend, so I'm really excited!


Today has been a rainy day...and you know my favorite thing to do when it rains....BAKE AND CRAFTS! Woo!!!

Counting Down the Days!

Over the weekend I had a two day swim meet at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT. We drove down early Saturday morning. The teams that were there included Wesleyan, WPI, Trinity, Hamilton and Fairfield (Diving only). For diving, we were supposed to compete 11 dives on one meter on Saturday and 11 dives on three meter on Sunday. When we got there, Wesleyan said that since Fairfield is D1 (D1 only competes 6 dives) and the one Wesleyan diver only knows 6 dives, we could only do 6 dives on each board and we could compete all of them on Saturday. It was very unprofessional and selfish that the Wesleyan coach did that because it's no one but his own fault that his diver doesn't know 11 dives. He shouldn't be penalizing everyone else for his problems. Oy vei. I hate selfish coaches and I don't really want to go back next year. On sunday it was decided that we were going to compete the other 5 dives on each board. Diving was supposed to start at 11, with a 9:30 warm up. Clark was there at 7:45 to cheer on all of our miler swimmers! At 11:15 when I asked what time we were starting, the Wesleyan Diving Coach said that we couldn't start until my coach got there. Which is ridiculous in itself because there only needs to be three judges to compete, and there were three coaches there. My coach got there at 11:25 and the head coach of my team was livid with the other diving coaches. I ended up being the first one in the pool at 10:30, so when we weren't allowed to compete because the other teams divers were "too tired" from practicing all morning, I was livid. It was such bullshit and the other teams should be ashamed because their coaches were extremely lazy and all they could think about was themselves. Gosh, it makes me so mad. Come on, you're on an athletic team, it's your responsibility to compete. Anyways, that sucked. I did get two new high scores on both boards on Saturday though! Ah! They also messed up the scoring. TWICE. How hard is it too multiply and add? Oh yeah, it's not. So...basically my diving coach drove all the way to CT for nothing on Sunday. This fiasco took so friggen long, that we had to race to get back to Clark in order to get back in time for my warm up for the recital. The recital went really well. I was super nervous because it was the first time my dad and friends has ever heard me sing. ah! But it went really well, so I'm very happy about that! After that my took me and my best friend out for Chinese. YUMMMMM. 


That night, I spent hours upon hours in the dark room printing pictures! I hope they come out great for my final tomorrow! I also printed a picture for my dad for Chanukah! I can't wait to give it to him! He is going to love it! I'll post a picture when I give it to him! 


Yesterday, I finished printing some pictures and went to my classes. It's the last week of classes! Yippie! In Jewish Pop Culture we spent the first hour talking about what we plan to do after college and what our parents expect of us in college. The second hour we talk about the reading. And the third hour we segwayed into discussing great TV shows. haha. Speaking of which, a lifetime move was being show at Clark on Sunday. I'm not sure which one, but...... the school is called Gamble College. Keep an eye out for it in the future! Last night was a relatively low key kind of night at practice. We just went through our optionals. I got down almost an hour early! While I was waiting for everyone else to be done, I ran to Living Earth and bought some coconut flour to make doughnuts for my class tomorrow! When everyone else was done, we went to Moe's. YUM. It's so good. haha. Then we went to Michael's arts and crafts. One of the girls on the WPI diving team made me this wonderful shirt, that I will post a picture of soon, that has a diver on the front and says "SMACK THAT" on the back. It's so great and I think everyone else is jealous because they all want one too! And.... I love the craft store, so that was great! I think that I am doing craft night on Friday with the divers from WPI! Yay!


This morning I watched last night's episode of Hart of Dixie. How cute was it? Now that Zoey realizes things can't happen with George Tucker, she has seen the light in Wade Kinsella. Is Wade a hunk or what?

Now I'm just counting down the days until break! Only a few things that need to be completed before I can go home!

Crazy Hectic

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't written in a while! It's been pretty crazy here! Finals are just around the corner! Last week I was informed that I had to have 10 final photos printed on 11x14 fiber-base glassy paper for Wednesday. I was stressing out about it a lot. I wasn't going to be around over the weekend and I have class all day on Friday. Oy vei! Thursday night after practice I went to the dark room to start printing. That was super stressful because I only got three photos done. But luckily last night and in between classes today I was able to print the remaining 7 and an extra one for my dad for chanukah! I hope he likes it! All I have left for this final is to press my prints on Wednesday afternoon. So... I'm feeling pretty good about that. 


Thursday was my first day back at practice after the tooth incident. It has taken me a little while to get used to the mouthguard, but I think I'm finally doing okay. Speaking was really difficult last week because I have a huge lisp and everyone was laughing. Agh. We are all doing a lot better with it! Thank goodness!


I'll update more about the rest of the weekend tomorrow!




T- 2 batches of doughnuts, 3 papers, 10 final photos, 1 presentation, 1 take-home final and 1 final until December break. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
