So life is kind of crappy; I can deal. I can make lemonade from lemons.

Oy, what a weekend! First I cannot sleep, as I have gotten a sum total of 12 hours of sleep in three days. Then, I cannot stay awake, as happened tonight, and now I am wide awake after driving home with the seat heaters and the actual heat on, something I never do.
However, I have learned a great deal this weekend, had some memorable experiences.
I am also realizing how much attending conservative vs. orthodox Shabbat services sucks. I went to Conservative services with Arthur last night, because there were no Hillel services due to stupid Thanksgiving. It is just that I enjoy Orthodox services so much more, and I believe that I get more out of them. I do not know what I am going to do when I go home. The two closest shuls are Reform, no way. When my family belonged to them, way back when, one had a guitar-playing cantor, and the other one is reminscent of a church, as it has an organ. The conservative shul we used to belong to has a convert Rabbi - Yaakov Thompson. He bat mitzvahed me, and I just don't like his style. I need to find an orthodox shul somewhere near me, but that would entail driving, and I do not think they would appreciate someone having to drive/actually driving to daven at their shul.
In summation, would it be so wrong to pull out my own siddur and daven by myself on Shabbas? I just so thoroughly enjoy going to services, though.
In other words, I have been told that I am very attractive, and that makes me very happy. Oh look, the "self esteem o'meter" is rising. Yay!
I guess that is all for now, and I should attempt to get some sleep. I am going home in 10 days. Wow, that's scary in a way. Yesterday morning, my mother called me, just so I could talk to the dog. Yeah, my Rosie misses me. :)
