I'm realizing, once again, that it's impossible to see the inner part (not the inside, just not the very edge) of your own ear. And this frustrates me. I need to sleep. (No, there really is a reason I wanted to see my ear: I seem to have cut it a while ago, and want to check on that.)

In other news, they have a "possible new roommate" for me. I'm scared. Actually, I'm somewhat freaked out. Maya and roommates haven't done so wonderfully in the recent past. Being alone here can be lonely, but it's better than the other things that have happened to me, roommate-wise. I'm afraid I'll get someone who can't abide noise when she sleeps, and/or smokes, drinks, seriously treifs up the microwave/my food/silverwear, turns my lights off on Shabbat... Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic. I don't know.

The Brass Ensemble performance went decently. Not well, per se. But we didn't fall apart so badly that we couldn't get back together. I was also missing my stand partner, who got sick just beforehand- which left me to handle the solo on Dixie Clambake, and the rest of it alone- he loves the song, I'm not it's hugest fan, to say the least. But- it gave us some motivation to really work, and hopefully that'll get us off to a better start this semester. We did funny hats (5 of hte 8 of them supplied by yours truly- and mostly funny because they were on other people), which was fun for us at least.

Off to bed, although I'm not going to get anything ressembling enough sleep anyways.

Maya, do you really believe your god wants you to waste electricity? I'm not critisizing you, I'm criticizing the ritual.

I believe G-d wants me to waste electricity should no better option be available. Generally people with homes have timers attached to their electrical appliances so that they turn on and off at appropriate times. Here- well, a smaller lamp being on the whole time isn't so different from a larger one, turned on and off. There are reasons, and they're worthwhile for me.
