Open my Eyes...

Thoughts of an Orthodox girl from California adjusting to Manhattan life as a college student and attempting to understand her place within the Jewish people.

So........how's everything with you......*Cough*

I just went to a supremely awkward brunch. I mean, really uncomfortable. Not for everyone, necessarily, but certainly for me, who didn't know half of the people there as well as they knew each other. And truly, nothing feels worse than trying - and failing - to carry on a normal conversation with someone and ending up with just a bunch of "um..."s and "soooo"s. My skin is practically crawling. There has to be a lesson to be learned from awkwardness - let me know if you figure out what it is.
On a better note, I went ice skating last night! So much fun, although by the end my toes were frozen and my ankles throbbing. It was worth it. Then we came home and baked cookies and watched a movie in the warm indoors. It doesn't get much better.
But eesh. Still can't get over feeling awkward - and it was with a bunch of the same people I had been ice skating with last night! Just goes to show you what a little change to the dynamic will do to a group.

On another note, I really want to start writing again. Maybe I'll post some short stories and stuff soon.

Yuck, I just had a phone call that went exactly like that. "um, sooo..." all the way. Every minute or so I tried to think of another polite way to end it.

Anyway, thanks for visiting my blog, Jessica. See you around!
