Four more days to go...

I can't even check my email no more folks. I needs music! I'm listening to six13, but i only have three songs by them, and they're only so long. I can't blog wifout music. Luckily for us...

LAG BA'OMER IS ON SUNDAY!!!!!! MUSIC HOY!!!!

OOooooh yes. And you know what i'm gonna do to that piano in my classroom?..well...not much, cuz i can't even touch the cover without getting pounced on by the ultra-chassidish fifth graders screaming "I KEEP SECOND HALF SORRY YOU CAN'T PLAAAAAAY!!!" The whole 'but i take lessons and practice' argument was abandoned something like five hundred years ago when it was created, and the original rabanaan who made it were hounded by the rest of judiasim.

Some of my benefactors (whatevah the heck THAT means) wanted to know about my interview, which was with the prinicipals of the high school i'm going into. It happened today. Here's how it opened:

I was playing the TAM piano, which i was enjoying until I realized something. Their base C was broken. Not middle C, the base C one octave lower. IT DIDN'T PLAY! I was like: "How does u have piano with broken C, eh?" That's when the principal walked in.

"First test," she said, "Which key on our piano is broken?"
"The C," I blurted, "It's broken. How do you expect anyone to play it?"

She laughed and we went into her office, where the secular studies principal was waiting. She was pretty scary, I admit. She was hovering about an inch from my face the staring at me like some kind of transfixed bunny the whole interview (DONT ASK). So the opening question was:

"How would you describe yourself?"
what are you, my psychaitrist? (screw spelling, ima renegade)

I thought for a moment.
"Awesome, amazing, beautiful, and totally a genius."

When I repeated this to my class, (when i got back, they all wanted to hear the juicy details) they cracked up on the floor. (no joke)

"How did you say it with a straight face?" They asked. I shrugged. Anyways, back to the interview.

"Really?" Asked the english principal.
"Yuh," I said. Then I realized this was going on my permanent record. "Okay, not really, no, but I AM awesome."

So then we went onto the classes, schedule, uniforms, stuff like that. Also, I found this out- there's a 45 minute evrit class, 4 days a week. And they're walking 9th grade through dikdook from Hoveh to Nif'aal. That should help me, I think. And also, I told the hebrew principal about my dream to go to israel, and she was completely in favor. Howevs, when we left, she asked my mother about how fudge was doing. In the same tone you use to ask about one's small child who is recovering from some strange disease in the hospital. Yeah. When my mom told my bubbe about this, my wise old grandmother calmly responded;

"Yeah, she's a b***h"

Nice language, grandma! But then, I did have to survive living in a house with her and her sister for a week.


Craps, folks i just ran out of music. RUN!

  1. I'm seriously cracking up here. BTW, the tall woman is Ms. Shea. She used to be a nun. She can be like the biggest pain in the ass, but she does it "out of love and kindness," towards us students.

    What other Q's did they ask you? Yeah... the hebrew principal as you put it can be a bit rather naive, I speak from experience, hence a certain reason WHY I didn't stay with my class for Shabbaton, which I will NOT discuss here (with other people reading.)

    So.... in the end, are you gonna go to *SHIVERS* T.A.M.? and totally transformed into a B"Y GIRL??????!!!!!!!!!! Because we're so gonna have to talk about this. I'll give you the do's and dont's, and anything else before you go there.

    Oh, and we better have a day where I can see your sketch book... Like, I was so upset :'( lol.

    Anyway, now, resaying my question in a news person voice: "Why do you want to go to TAM?" And DO NOT PULL A MALKI S. ANSWER!!! lmfao.

    See yah darlin'

  2. i listen to acapella, but i only have so many songs...

    I'm excited to go to TAM! (push me off a cliff. NOW.)

    Woah, ms. Shea used to be a nun? You got me there.

    I CAN'T turn into a b''y girl, chaiki. I play Assassins Creed, remember? I'm too busy drooling to do anything else.

    That day will come chaiki, the day will come. Meanwhile my lil schechbuuk getts fuller and fuller, so there will be more to see!

    And if you REALLY want to see my schechbuuk, and i can't show you, just go to my devie profile. I scan in all my work and put it up there. Well, most of it anyway.

  3. There's Lev Tahor *sighs* and youtube. I'm sure if you type up "Jewish Acapella," on youtube, then you'll find plenty of it :)

    Oy :'( LMFAO. I wouldn't even dare to! You're waay too amazing to be pushed off a cliff. Just, I hope you're making the RIGHT decision which is all.

    Lol...true, and you're going to BLI NEDER that you won't change yourself--- because I did for a while and decided it WASN'T WHO I WAS. Just some lame excuse for a Jew.... :/

    WOO-HOO ;) I cannot wait to see it my m'dear! Anyway, I'm going back to sleep, seeing that my class are going on their publicly-knowledgeable-ditch-day trip. Whereas I'll be sleeping and reading, and possibly blogging.

    Speak to you later Iguaners!

  5. oy. can i make a point here iguaners? anyone can read ur blog. pretty much anyone, esepcially since people know you have one. it's public. therefore it would be very unwise to make fun of ur new teachers and, in particular, principals on it. could get u in trouble. if u have to, use email (and do!).

    the tone that she uses when she talks about fudge is the same one fudge uses when she talks about me lol. being judgmental can take every good thing about u and turn it against u, because when u judge ppl, they judge u back. u thought she seemed like a great teacher - until u saw the way she looked down on someone u respect. then u saw a, as bubbe so gently put it, b****h. always try your hardest not to judge people, to see things from their point of view, and to focus on their merits, instead of defining them by their faults.

  6. It was more like me who said the actual name, Kovs. Elana just said Hebrew principal and English Principal (something along those lines.) Anyway, I can let you know that there is a low percentage of them ever coming across this blog, or anyone's for that matter. They aren't really internet savvy, if you get my drift.

    However, you're right. It is important to be careful on what you say or post on your blog. There's eyes lurking every where, especially in Heaven (referring to HaShem.) In reality, there is an option for blogger, where you can make people sign-in, in order to read the blog. It should be under settings or something like dat.

    Kovi, if you went to TAM, you'd understand the politics that go on there. Yeah, even though the person is considered to be a "female dog," (and believe me, I had the same viewing) she can be OK at times. Just, don't get to her bad side.... >.<

    Elana, you'll do fine, just follow the rules and don't be so sneaky ;) You'll manage, and if not, then you'll work something out. What matters is this: Be YOU. put effort into your work, and develop close relationships with the teachers, especially with Mrs. Avruch --- 'cuz you will LOVE her. High school is extremely different, and its basically entering a new world of possibilities. Just do your best, and you'll succeed. And, remember, I won't be going anywhere (unfortunately) next year, but you do know where to find me, if you need help :)

  7. Great. I'm glad i have you people hovering over me, telling me not to be worried, or judgemental, or to just go on with my life, or blah blah blah...

    This is supposed to be MY BLOG! If i can't be cynical here, where can i be cynical?

  8. WE CARE ABOUT YOU :) that's why.
    Be as cynical as you want darling.
    But you're Kovi's little sister, and you're my lil' igauners.

  9. lol cynical is fine - but when u post specific comments about a specific person (and not writing the name doesnt necessarily help if its very obvious who ur talking about), u open urself to possible discovery and retaliation.
