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.

If it makes you feel better I go in waves between distracting myself, talking about my interview and feeling like I'm going to puke...or a combination.

I can't wait till I'm done with this...

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

You don't have to know all the answers - you're young and dude, that's what five years of school are for.
You just need to know how to say what you might think - and "I don't really know" is a fine answer, if you can articulate the struggle a little bit. Even then, you may not ever know the answers to some questions. And the answer to other questions is, "I don't know, but I know where I might look it up or whom I might consult." I learned that the hard way in an interview at a prosecutor's office once.

Your davenning was lovely, silly. My only complaint was more of a gabbai one - it's the rare occassion that we can all daven fast enough to squeeze out both a repetition and a Torah reading in time for breakfast; I would have preferred a heichei kedushah on a Monday Torah reading morning. But part of that also was that my linen shirt was cutting off the circulation on my tefillin arm, so I was a little ansy.

You never have to be sorry to kvetch. If I said that at the beginning of my posts that needed it, I think about 80% of my posts would start with that sentence. :) (Or maybe they should. But you complain about stuff like, once in a blue moon. So.)

Maps are kind of horrible.

You'll be totally cool for your interview! You are awesome! NEVER FORGET.
