Today, September 28, 2009, is the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur. For 24 hours the Jewish people are supposed to fast and basically lay in bed all day because everything else is forbidden. I decided to not take part in this holiday, again, this year because I don't see the point in it. I like eating too much and since my family doesn't really practice the religion that much I decided there is no point. Sadly, many of my friends are Jewish and they are either at Temple or at home with no access to phones or computers. We also have no school today so I will be sitting home all day eating and getting fat. JOY!
My history teacher gave me massive amounts of HW which I think is unfair especially to those who are participating in the holiday. We aren't allowed to do it! But I am sure if I walked into class tomorrow and said "Oh I couldn't do it, I was at Temple all day" my teacher could care LESS.
Whatever, I am going to start some U.S. History before I run out of time. Hopes everyone has a wonderful Yom Kippur, maybe I'll bring brownies to school so you can eat away xD.
Much Love,
Laura.
