What a few weeks!!!!!!!!!!!

Bar crawl with the faves.

Me and my love, at Pledge Dance

So it's been quite a few weeks. I have excelled in my ice skating class (and finished it already, awww sad) by learning not only how to be a better skate in general but I learned some elementary spins, jumps and tricks. Pretty fancy stuff. I've dropped photography since my last post because it was just taking up too much time. :-/ I really enjoyed it but that will have to be a hobby I pursue outside of class. Bowling has obviously been amazing and my wine appreciation test was surprisingly hard (I had to know specific aromas and their origins!). But no worries, I got an A on it.

My other classes ("real classes" for you skeptics) have also been very fun and challenging. I love my learning and memory class because I think the topics of how people learn and why their brains work that way are just fascinating.

So the last few weeks have been great. We had a barcrawl with AEPi and our spring semester dance, pledge dance. Lane was so sweet and moved his stuff around at school so he could come here for the dance. We had lots of fun with the friends and ate at this awesome restaurant in downtown Champaign called 7 saints. It's been my goal to try new places since I'm leaving so soon (sad face).

This past weekend I attended the NATE Kallah in Boulder, CO. I reconnected with my Judaism and I learned about myself in ways that I haven't explored since high school. I found a spiritual connection again and figured out that I have a future in Jewish Education (thank you Vanessa). :-) I'm so superly psyched because I think I have pretty much decided to apply to HUC in the fall.

A huge weight has lifted off of my shoulders since I have finally found something that I am so enthused about and I just can't wait to explore HUC more and look into the program even more in depth.

It's been a good few weeks.
