Good News!!!

I have great news to share, everybody!!!! 

The reason that I couldn't take Biology and Bio Lab was because Bio Lab conflicted with Psychology.  The good news is, a mistake was made in the printing of the time of Bio Lab and it has been changed to the Statistics time-slot, every other week, and on those days Stats will be pushed off to 6-7:30.  In other words, I can now take Biology and Bio Lab in addition to all the other classes I'm taking!! Hurray for no compromises or trade-offs! The only obstacle I have now is ensuring that I can still switch back into Biology, so we'll see how that goes.

Yesterday morning I woke up and realized that I was super lamely coming down with a cold.  Rudeness.  So what did I do between my two Judaic classes, you ask? I went on an adventure to seek out and acquire soup.  Luckily I almost immediately found a non-dairy soup, so I purchased it.  What kind of soup was it? Split pea soup.  For those of you who have read, at some point in your life, any George and Martha books know what I'm talking about when I say that my soup purchase made me think of George and Martha.  For those of you who don't know, here's how the story goes... George and Martha are married hippopotami.  Martha's favorite thing to cook is split pea soup, so she obviously likes to make it for her loving husband George.  Unfortunately, George's least favorite food to eat is split pea soup.  Being the wonderful husband that he is, he doesn't tell Martha about his hatred for her so-beloved soup and he manages to choke it down time and time again.  Until one day, she makes pots and pots and pots full of it and he doesn't know what to do.  So, George so smartly realizes that when Martha leaves the room he can put his soup in his loafers underneath the table.  Thinking that he was in the clear and that he totally avoided having to eat any split pea soup, he quickly shows his empty bowl to Martha upon her return into the kitchen.  Unbeknownst to George, though, Martha had made plenty more split pea soup and had much more to give him.  Sadly, this is the part of the story where my brain kinda forgot the path to the resolution but I will happily share the conclusion itself.  Basically, in some way or another Martha discovered that George's loafers were full of split pea soup and she approached him about it.  She said that it didn't matter to her that he didn't like her soup, and that he should have just told her long ago.  In the end, George and Martha live happily ever after and go on to explore great heights, in a hot air balloon, in the next story.

The point of all of that was to share with you that upon my purchase of split pea soup in attempt to heal my leaking nasal passages and soar throat (sorry if that was too yucky for some of you), I totally boarded the George and Martha train. 

Not many exciting things have really happened this week, unfortunately.  School is a whole lot of normal, which is actually great for me- but lame for you- and that's basically my life.  I spent a solid amount of time working out last night at the gym, and went to bed pretty early on a NyQuil.  For Shabbat I will be in Beit Shemesh with the Smilowitz's! For those of you who don't know, the Smilowitz's used to live in Seattle and made aliyah to Israel a number of years ago.  I'm super excited to get a good dose of ex-Seattle.
