How sad. As of today, it would seem I only have seventeen days left before I am banished back to my school for another year of Mr. - uh, my english teacher.
That's because there really is only seventeen days left. I swear these summer vacations get shorter every year.
I don't like to think to deeply about this kind of thing because it makes me feel very depressed. I spend the ENTIRE school year counting down the days until summer vacation, and all of summer vacation I'm thinking about how many days I have left until I have to go back to school. So it's really a neverending cycle that is going to continue until I get out of college. And that's a long way from now.
The truth is, I don't really mind school that much. Maybe it's because it gives me something to do, makes me feel like I'm doing something useful, I don't know. And being at my school is great. I love it. It's a ton of fun. There's a bunch of great guys there. So it's not really that I hate going to school, it's that I like being home. I like being with my younger siblings and playing with them and making jokes with them and reading them books, and they love it too. But during the school year, I can only see them at maximum 6 hours a week on sunday.(of course I probably shouldn't talk; out of towners are away from there families for months at a time!) I've discussed this before, and mostly what people say is that you get used to it. And I guess that's true. I was rarely homesick during say, the middle of last year. I mean I could still call them and everything. But whenever I came back from a vacation or a break, I was homesick for a week. That's what I hate. It's not even stuff like not sleeping in my own bed, or my own room, or having to share my room with a roommate ( at home I share my room with 2 brothers!). It's just not being with my family.
Oh well. That's life.

i think i'll inconspicuously leave a comment here. later it will become widely accepted and reprinted commentary on the Talmud. please take no notice.
DAMN YOU!
shut up please, witser.
Thank you very much. I am proud of it.
hey foust- witser is the guy in my class who loves eragon but isn't dan. he's also named sam. that's 2 hints.
It is all becoming very clear to me now.
you catch on quick, no? rafi found out by visiting his website, then remembering that sam was working on that in school. i found out cuz sam came up to me in shul and told me.
oh. I found out when he emailed me and told me to "check out his blog" five minutews after I recieved a comment from witser on my blog
Awww! I'm glad you have such a good relationship with your siblings, I usually didn't. I can't imagine being separated from my family at your age. It's too bad Milwaukee doesn't have a Jewish high school where you can live at home.
yeah, I know. Too Bad.
What's with the name change? You're really gonna confuse people, ya know.
Rafiki is much more accurate. Even the picture.
Hahahahahaha!
well, i think maybe being away for a while is good for sibling relationships. one reason siblings don't get along is cuz they're constantly forced to endure eaqch others' company. a little breathing space can do wonders in that situation. i think i get on better with pretty much all my siblings after coming back from yeshva.
I guess I was tired of people coming up to me and telling me that the name majormoron stinks. Besides, it's funny.
I can sympathize, sort of...I sleep at my grandmothers about 3-4 nights a week, and in the beginning of last year I was also homesick for a while, even though it was only a ten minutes by car from my family. But no one else in my famly was in that school last year, so I didn't get to see them even. Live summer vacation to it's fullest!! Before you have to go to school and learn that there shouldn't have been an apostrophe in "its"!!
" I really don't mind school that much."
easy for YOU to say. Grumble, grumble...
