It's currently the Pesach break at the school (Yeshiva) so most of the school left to travel or go back home. I however chose to work for 11 days cleaning houses. Just when I began to think Jews were not so bad, I became their slave (which will bring a new appreciation to Pesach this year when the Jews left the slavery in Egypt). But what a couple of chemical burns and a cough that sounds like the black lung as a result from inhaling oven cleaner? I'm doing it for the good of Jewish families and they appreciate what I do. Plus it means I can stay at the Yeshiva for at least a year.
Speaking of staying at the Yeshiva. My appartment was police raided a couple of days ago. They were looking for drugs 0n a student in my dorm that was fortunately leaving for America that night. However, they found 80 grams of weed on another student in my dorm. He's now fighting for his right to stay in the school. Personally, kick him out. On the other hand, he messed up and deserves a second chance. Thus, I'm torn on the issue.
In a couple of days begins Pesach (Passover). People are buying suits and new things. I need deoderant. The weather is slowly warming up finally. I know in a couple of weeks I'll complain about the heat. There's just no pleasing me I guess. Once I'm no longer working, I can begin planning for my neuroscience class that I will teach at the school. There's so much religion and philosophy, yet no science. So, I guess it's up to me. And no, I don't have a messianic complex because the messiah comes from the family of David whereas I'm a Cohen. Hopefully the class will provide people with a better understanding of just how amazing the brain is so they can appreciate what a gift it is.
Zack's final thoughts:
If the paint on the bench is wet, get off.
