My grumpy day

October 31, 2011 was by far my grumpiest day in Jerusalem. It started out just fine with a great breakfast as usual. Then I had Bashir Bashir's class. The highlight of the class was that two girls dressed up exactly the way he dresses and each had a sign with "Bashir" written on it. Who names their child with the same first and last name is beyond me. After that entertainment I headed back to studying (yes, during class). For some reason I just can't listen during that class. Luckily it was the last Bashir class EVER! Lucky me.

Then I studied studied studied.

Then people went out but I needed to study so I didn't go. Begin the grumpiness.

Then I went and dressed up for Halloween.

Naturally, I was Wendy (from Peter Pan) because many people call me Wendy. Although I think I did a great job with my costume, not everyone knew who I was. I was asked if I was Belle, Sleeping Beauty, and many other princesses. Nope, I was Wendy.

The highlight of the day was when Kaitlyn Hull saw me. She and Leslie walked into dinner and Leslie said "Hey Wendy!" and Kaitlyn looked at me and said to Leslie "she looks like Wendy." Then it dawned on her, I was supposed to look like Wendy! It was adorable!

Lindsay, my lovely friend in the picture was also grumpy. Although her costume was funny (wearing black with a stamp on=blackmail) no one got it. She just felt dumb. We both got tired of telling people who we were.

I really just don't love dressing up for Halloween. Its not my favorite. It doesn't put me in a good mood.

Then we decided that we were going to be happy. So we went to the silent film "Phantom of the Opera" playing in the auditorium. It was a branch activity with President Omen playing the organ. Apparently he is one of the top organ people in the world.

So I sat down. Luckily for me right behind me was a family with small children, who had bags to crumple up the whole time, and candy to suck on noisily. It was seriously SOOO loud! This was not the day to deal with that. So I got up and "got a drink" and sat at the back corner by myself. Naturally, I had some "woe is me" thoughts and also some anger at myself for still being bugged by annoying noises "am I EVER going to get over this and learn patience?"

Then another girl who had been sitting close to me came and sat by me. She said "it is too noisy down there."

Imagine, it being too noisy at a silent film. Oh the irony.

Also, the film was an hour and a half. That is pretty long for a silent film. At least I think so!

Let me add in what we had for dinner at this point. I think it was supposed to be Tai food but all I know was that it was a lot of fish, and some of it was cooked. I had a piece of toast and some of the sesame spread (which is DELICIOUS) on toasted pita. Bread and sweets was what I was living on. Just the look of the fish...blah!

So at this point I am still not in the best of moods. It happens.

Then there was a dance party. I don't think I should get started on my feelings for dance parties.

Well then we got people together to watch a scary movie. It was time to get terrified. We watched Signs. It is a good movie and there were a few jumpy parts but overall it didn't scare me like I wanted it too.

So then I went to bed.

Conclusion, I was grumpy and homesick and I missed you all!
