Hi Journal,

[leftyjew]

Long time no see!
I thought I'd give a quick update about my life.
1. The new job is great. There are issues here, but there are issues everywhere. And these folks know that there are issues and want to fix them. Some of the issues they want to fix are even the same as the issues I want to fix.
2. I'm totally digging my new roommate.
3. I'm okay, but I had my first stitches on Saturday night. I'm reminded never to go to the hospital Saturday night. It was actually a fine time with a good companion, but I feel like Sunday was such a wasted day full of sleeping until 4pm.
4. DC Beit Midrash is presenting me with interesting challenges. It's also a major part of my week. Interesting how running something takes more time than it looks like.
5. Social life has suffered a bit. I'm not getting out much, and I'm opting to stay home more often when I have a chance. This is in part to do things like laundry and in part just because. Last Sunday was momentous for me — I turned down four social invitations in order to clean my room and do laundry. I feel bad about those I've flatleft, but it was really good for my psyche.

Wait.. you had stiches?? What happened?

I was opening a knife package. With a knife. Toward my thumb. It sliced open, bandaged it, and continued bleeding from 9pm until 1am at which point I decided to check out a new emergency room (Georgetown's waiting area is much more aesthetically pleasing than GW's). Let into the emergency room at 5am. Amanda, who was waiting patiently (no pun intended) with me stood up with a leg that was asleep and promptly fell down twisting her ankle. She was seen briefly by someone who said not to worry about it, and then at about 6, I was seen and stitched. I left the ER at 7ish. Fun way to start a Sunday :)

I don't think you slept in to 4pm, at least not without interruption :) You called me around noon and left a message, asking if I'd knocked on your door. I was confused, was Sarah explained to me that you'd had a rough night...

I'm so glad that you're okay!

And I totally get you on having to sometimes put yourself first.

Glad it's working out with the girl ;o)
