I forgor about the dreamwith

Sorry <3

I submitted an application to a new job that I would really like to get, and I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist this week to address some mildly concering symptoms (that have of course been less concerning since making the appointment because ain't that just that way it works), and I'm still writing USJP fic and that's... about it.

It was Shavuot recently, which is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the receiving of the Torah, and my synagogue had a dinner and all-night study session with lectures/group discussions led by members of the congregation on a variety of topics and it was really cool.

I went to one about the current situation on the ground in Israel led by someone who'd recently been there and met with a lot of different people from across the political spectrum, including some Israeli Arabs, and it was really interesting and (naturally) a bit emotional. After that I went to one about Judaism and abortion, one about Moses and stuttering, and one that was a quick rundown of the history of the land of Israel that addressed different owner claims over the years, and they were all super fascianting. I missed a few other interesting ones because of time conflicts (there was one about homosexuality in medieval Spanish Jewish poetry that I am so sad I missed), but all in all it was really fun.

I think Shavuot might be my new favorite holiday, which is no surprise to anyone, I'm sure, because I am a big nerd.

The ren faire started this weekend so I have to decide when I'm going, and I'm really looking forward to it. A couple of synagogue friends have expressed an interest in going and it would be their first time, so that would be really great if it works out! I love taking people to the ren faire for the first time.

All in all, doing okay. Gotta keep on truckin'. Please send good job vibes if you can - this position isn't exactly what I want to do but it's a hell of lot closer than what I do currently.

Thank you so much! My brother works for the same organization and it took three months from the date of his application to even get an interview, so I'm expecting at least that long, but...!!
