being home and being back.

so, we had Monday off for Labor Day.
so I went home.
I probably didn't spend as much time with my family as I should have.
I'm so accustomed to closing myself off in my room with a book or an art project that it seemed natural to do that.
however, I did get to see my brother's apartment and we took a family picture.
also, I got my ears double-pierced.
I guess it was a pretty good weekend.
I'm looking forward to my quick stop at home in a couple weeks.
and fall break in just over a month.

so, Oma brings us back and takes us to Chuck E. Cheese's because Kaleb has wanted to go there since he found out we had one.
I won some ice cream.
back to campus. realized that I took wayyyy too much stuff home.
I'll think about that next time.

half an hour later, we're doing laundry and homework and I realize that I need a pen.
I quickly opened the front pocket of my book bag and immediately realized that this was a mistake.
I had gashed my thumb.
it hurts a lot. but I've been keeping Disney Princess bandages on it.
it's been helping. :)

had some interesting conversations that night.
one of them should not have happened.
I was glad it happened but I wish I had not been necessary.
Satan is really mean.

go watch "The Chosen." it is a fantastic movie.
but please don't think that it represents all Jews.
they're all Orthodox and the freaky-traditional (and I mean that in the most respectful tone) ones are Hasidic.
not every Jew is that intense about it.
I can't wait to read the book.

I should get a social life.

that's all for now.
