Days of Nothing

Lately, for some unknown reason, I have been bad at getting posts in daily.  I just keep forgetting about it until it's too late.  Take now for instance.  It's so late that it really should be considered wrong of me to post this.  But I am anyway, just to show that I can keep going anyway.  

Today was the first official off day of Rosh Hashanah at school.  It was amazing, considering how little sleep I've been getting in the past couple of weeks.  I had no worries, I got to laze out all day, and I even got to watch a movie.  Three of my favorite things in one day.  

It's weird because in high school, we never got off for Jewish holidays.  I think it was because there weren't too many Jewish kids there, but still, getting a five day weekend for a holiday other than Thanksgiving makes me so incredibly happy. 

The only thing that is really creeping me out about it is the lack of people around.  While usually there are thousands of students milling around, there is a very very small fraction of that.  It's kind of unnerving walking around.  

At night it's usually worse, because when I look out my window, there are hardly any rooms lit up through the low rise buildings and it's quiet.  Right there makes it eerie.  No drunk teenagers scream at the top of their lungs or laugh maniacally while I'm trying to sleep.

I don't like that part really.  But spending five days doing whatever with my friends keeps me occupied.  It's going to be quite a task going back to classes on Thursday.
