About the teachers...

Now, although it seems like I don't like the school, I, in actuality, do.  I just NEED wifi, so I was joking un-named person (yeah, you know who you are.  ooh, that's the first time I've ever had to say that for a reason!)  The teachers are awesome.  Except for the english principal...  As one of my friends would say, she couldn't find her way out of a paper bag.  She's dumb as a cucumber.  I could go on...  But I digress.  The teachers are great at what they do, and I love the classes.  The timing of the classes is a little weird, though...  And guess who set them up?  The english principal - makes sense.  Now, the hebrew principal is a whole 'nother story.  He's a genius, in my opinion, and his father - who teaches at the school - is a genius also, possibly - no, definitely - even more so.  Although, it can get a little weird going to a school where the principal is your Rabbi's wife's brother...

To Be Continued...

First Post and backstory (kinda...)

So...  First post.  Kinda weird, but ok...
So, I'm Jewish (as if you didn't know by the "yeshiva").  Which means I have to go to a private school. Out of state.  I live in Illinois, but reside in Pittsburgh.  Now, there is no dorm at my school, meaning: we have to board at people's houses-whom we don't even know.  Fun.
The people I stay at, lets call them the "Greenbergs", are...  ummm... eccentric.  Rabbi Greenberg is a prison chaplain (who has been arrested for  "free innocent people" marches 8 times), while Mrs. Greenberg is the principal of the girls' school (oh, and did I mention there are two distinct schools-one for girls and one for boys?).  They had 2 or 3 kids, even after living with them for almost 6 months I'm not sure, two of them twins.  We (the other-yes, other-there are 4 of us-boarders and I got their old rooms.  To be continued (probably because its almost 12 am)...
