It's almost one am right now and I realized I've been putting off something I've wanted to do for a while for no good reason. Now, however, I have an excuse. My blog, at least the one I imagined, was supposed to keep me sane this year while I went to Seminary in Israel, learning all about Judaism and how I'm supposed to be, despite the fact that, while I am most definitely an Orthodox Jew, I'm a bit more Modern than most people here. A bit more on that later.
Anyway, I wanted some way to keep in touch with the world, even if it really just ended up being a diary that only I read since, well, I don't think I'm about to post this on Facebook. But who knows? Maybe someday I will.
But back to right now and why I have a reason. I'm sitting on my bed, about to go to sleep, with two roommates fighting with one another and I, whose third time this is living in a dorm, thinks that the fight between the two is slightly juvenile and its time for them to learn something I myself hate doing (it's a good thing I lucked out on a single with two suitemates), compromise.
I know, it's a basic term and we all learn what it is in nursery. But until you actually live with someone, you have no real idea what it is. The issue, at the moment, is this: One roommate sleep talks and the other went straight to the RA's (what we call madrichot) and told them she wants to switch into my room; I personally suggested earplugs as she really needs to at least give it a shot. I don't really care about the switching, although I have gotten used to having my own room and would be a bit sad but... I expected a roommate so why not? I'm okay with the switch of one of them into my room or even switching into the other room with one of them, but the thing is, the one who wants to switch really wants to move all of her clothes and pictures into the other room and move around the furniture. We've been here for two weeks and I finally feel semi-settled in. Changing this again? Not really what I had in mind.
So now I'm about to go to sleep and just... Augh.
Hence the decision of mine to start a blog.
If you're reading it... Lemme know, please!
