Mission Accomplished

It's Motzai Shabbos, and the enormous shabbaton I ran this weekend is over.  Baruch Hashem, everything went smoothly, which is all that I could have hoped for.  

Two years ago, I would never have imagined myself capable of this sort of organization, leadership, and public speaking.  It's nice to look back and see how far I've come.  Looking forward to more growth, G-d willing.

Now I can write papers and pretend to study for the LSAT--in desperate need of siyata diShmaya.

Irony

I need some caffeinated Diet Dr. Pepper.  

In school, I craved decaf, and now that I have it, I really need caffeine.

I feel a withdrawal headache coming on...

These are a Few of My Least Favorite Things

1.  United Airlines.

2.  Deadlines.

3.  Getting asked out by someone that I see all the time.  

4.  Making housing plans for next year.  

5.  Receiving five phone calls a day from the same person who just wants to say hi.

6.  Being woken up.

7.  Shots.  I'm needle-phobic.

8.  Packing and un-packing.  And packing again.  

9.  Doing laundry in Israel.  Seriously unpleasant.  

10.  Egg salad--I've never tasted it, but it looks horrible.  Same's true of chopped liver.  And I can't bring myself to eat gefilte fish on days other than Shabbos and Yom Tov.
