So Jason not unkindly pointed out to me recently that my priorities in life are all screwed up. I pay attention to all the little insignificant trivial things in life and get more or less worked up about them while blithely forgetting about the IMPORTANT, practical matters in my life, ie. MCAT, going to med school, etc. For the record, he is right.
In other news, I am currently listening to a set of audio lectures regarding the course of modern Jewish intellectual history. I realize that for someone who grew up in a culture steeped in and deeply influenced by Jewish traditions (Judeo-Christian, conservative, America) I know very little about the Jewish people and intellectual history. For example, I would like to find out more about Zionism, which just sounded cool in the Matrix.
In still other news, my hair is finally growing long enough for me to pull it back into a small piggytail. I've been very scissor happy the last few years and always snip snip snipped away to keep my crop of hair short. Hopefully this time I will manage to control that itch and let it grow down to my back and I can finally have that long Renaissance woman with long flowing hair look I've always drooled over. Call it my Rapunzel Envy.
Finally, I noticed today that I have these frecklelike things dotting my cheeks. They don't really seem like freckles either, but they are not acne. I don't know what they are!! My hitherto flawless complexion is in danger of annihilation! (Okay so I think my friends are generally in consensus that I'm a rather shallow creature...)

Those freckle things have been there for a while. I think your mom has them too. You can always read some Chame Potock or however you spell that name. Or Eli Weasle. I was forced to read Night twice and yet I remember pretty much nothing about it. I kind of remember them having to poop in the corner of the boxcar and they went to Russia or something. It wasn't really all that exciting. I also read The Chosen. All I remember from that book was the kid getting hit in the face with a baseball.
Hey not bad! I am impressed that you actually know these books. It's Chaim Potok I think?
