Today's activity was somewhat more limitted than I'd planned in terms of accomplishments: somehow for all my time this weekend, the stuff for HaMakor still isn't finished. Hopefully soon. But probably not tomorrow night- it's promised to <ljuser="chichillama"> Instead, I spent a bunch of time being the messenger for <ljuser="zachkessin>, or rather, for his news. IT was a real thrill to get to watch people's faces light up and be so happy. Few things can make my day better than seeing so many happy people. I know, it sounds sappy, but, it's pretty true.
In any case, it motivated me to get to minyan for all 3 services today, not something that happens often yet. Hopefully someday...
More opperationally, I learned a heck of a lot of Arabic vocab (whether or not I'll remember it is another story), and went grocery shopping. And then a phase of a lot of unhappy people, but that didn't last too long. But it was pretty intense. Not so easy, and at some level I botched things a bit with Liz. She's really not happy here, it seems. So: we'll see what happens. But it's likely to be a rough semester for her, and hence- for me to some extent. Not that I'll necessarily be in the room that much with all the stuff I have in the planning stages already.
I think that maintaining some level of playfullness in dealing with steve is what I need, regardless of how serious things are. That and bluntness. Not my usual strongest combination- but I've done it before, and it can be kind of fun. It's like letting go and thinking differently some. But- it definitely feels different: it's a pattern I have to build up and work myself into
