Sorry to kvetch- but my upcoming map quiz on biblical Israel (of the era of Joshua through the early prophets) and I are not getting along. I am not good at spacial stuff, not at maps in general, and this is just not going terribly well. COuld be worse- but could also be much better.

Otherwise life is ok but tired. I'm jittering about my interview and therefore not being as time-efficient as I could be, and was up too late last night kvetching about some silly shtick in my personal life (having Nothing to do with my obsessive nonsense with minyanim, I promise) and talking to Steve who lives downstairs. And then I lead Shacharit this morning, and seem to have managed all the nusakh correctly, if slightly clunkily. But no one else seems to have objected, so I figure that counts as doing pretty well.

Ducks, you'll be fine. You're always at minyan and you do well in classes. What could they possibly object to?

I don't know- somehow I feel like there has to be something they won't like.

And I don't have any good answers for whatever varient of the "why do bad things happen to good people" question. I don't know. That's how life is, and I don't even think knowing the answer would really help anyone anyways. But everyone seems to get asked that one, it sounds like.

"nobody knows, and anyway theological answers don't generally help people who've had bad things happen to them, not modern people anyway, and the only useful thing one can do is try to make things better in one's sphere of influence"?

that's for sure. nothing comforted me when i lost my mother, and i would have belted anyone who even attempted to spew Kushner at me.

Nothing could comfort someone going through that, and talking theology to someone who's grieving is horribly insensitive. Not that I ever know what to say, mind you. I'm sorry for your losing your mum.
