Do all posts have to be happy? Or meaningful? This is my one post a day as per TRS's instructions.

We just graduated. It's not an end, or a begining, just a middle. This is not a goodbye, but a graduation to newer and better things. Bla bla bla I've heard it all before, and I still think a sem graduation is pointless.

Yesterday my skirt got stuck in the escalater in the mall. What can I say? It was my shlumpy day, so I was wearing a long shlepy skirt. I was talking on the phone with my mother when suddenly I feel a tug, and look down to see my skirt being sucked into the dark recesses of the escalater stairs. Then theres a big noise, and the whole thing jammed. How cool is that, I jammed an escalater.

My reaction? I laughed. A group of people gathererd around me, talking and gesturing in hebrew. I asked my mother what to do, she said find a security guard. Ya, can't really move right now I'm stuck.

Some nice guy came over and tried to yank it out, while I frantically held on so it wouldnt fall down. No need for a bigger commotion. He asked me in hebrew if it was ok to cut the skirt. I said ya sure, as long as it meant I'd be free to go. Someone threw a scissor down the stairs, the guy snipped away, and me and my now shorter and slightly jagged skirt walked away, as the security guard stood there scratching his head, trying to figure out how to fix the damn thing. I left a wad of material still jammed in the escalater. And it was still broken a few hours later.... And to think that I did that. Cool.

Moral of the story? Don't wear shlumpy skirts, their not lady like. Don't talk on phone while operating machinery. Or just pick up your skirt and run down the stairs. Solves it all.

If all goes well, this will be my last blog post from the holy land (well for this year at least.) As I sit here in my principal's oh so comfy chair (sure hope she's not reading this) I don't want to leave. But I gotta go finish packing, go to a goodbye party, take some last pics, psyche myself up physically and emotionally for the flight.

So thats all for now folks. Hopefully will write tomorrow night, when I'm back in your time zone.

p.s. too lazy to put up a poll, but who thinks it's a good idea for me to re open my facebook account? Read this and tell me if I'm being hypocritical.
