The community is one of the things that I like the most. Its such a small place, that you know everyone, and anyone. For example, where I stay: the principal lives literally directly behind my boarding house. And, its easy to get to school from where I stay-it only takes a 5 minute walk. The local stores are a 10-maximum-minute walk, so its all pretty close together. Now, that can have its drawbacks. One of them being, that my hosts, the Greenbergs, are ALWAYS either: a) having 20+ people for shabbos dinner, or b) going to someone else's house where there "happen" to be 20 people. Another drawback is that because it is such a small community, if you get seen with any "illegal" paraphernalia (iPods, library books, etc., etc.) then you will get caught, and you will get in trouble. There is also an amazing pizza shop in Pittsburgh, meaning that is gives you amazing indigestion for amazingly long periods of time, that we are not allowed to go to during school-even if we have a free period. And, when we walk in, if the TV is playing sports, and what I'm about to say (type?) is 100% true, they are required to turn it off (note the italics, bold-ing, and underline). "By whom?" you ask? By none other than the principal, who lives-again-literally, around the corner from the store. I wonder why he banned it? (He said sarcastically)
This will be my last post from home, as I am on my last morning of winter break. I will try to blog during english class as extra credit (but only when I have no more work to be done), but I only have access to the computers on Thursdays. I would like to thank everyone for reading this blog and giving me feedback, and if you guys want to give me feedback, but won't be able to see me anytime soon, feel free to comment on the post itself.
To be continued...
