Progress
Yesterday I went and took that Kickboxing aerobics class again, and other than being kicked really hard by a fellow kickboxer (more about that later), I feel terrific. That is if terrific involves hurting all over, which it certainly does. The instructor that teaches this course is one of those "tough love" trainers. She yells obsene and nasty things at us, tells us that we suck, and uses various other ingenious ways of egging us on. I love her! I wish I had enough money to hire her as my personal trainer. I would be so buff then. Unfortunately this class is only once a week.
As far as being kicked, I don't understand why certain people take aerobics. And by certain people I mean people with no rhythm. The guy that kicked me wore these skin tight biker shorts. But that was the only thing which qualified him to take an aerobics class. Although the 80s are over.. Regardless, I could see him in the mirror the whole time, and for the duration of the whole class he was never once in step with the rest of us. He just didn't get it. And since he didn't, I don't see how the class was beneficial to him. I usually get it fairly quickly. But until I get it, the working out process is no fun. It's pretty useless. Because when your energy is directed towards getting the steps right - you are not concentrating on getting the most out of you workout, you are just concentrating on not looking like an ass. Imagine concentrating on that for a full hour! Apparently he was concentrating so hard, that he didn't realize that he was close enough to me to kick me really hard in my arm. With his foot. So hard that there was a dirt mark on my arm from his goddamn sneaker! He looked appologetic right away, although I did NOT hear the words of appology come out of his mouth even after the class was over. But I was kind of nasty myself. Instead of saying "it's ok," like I have a feeling I should have, I looked really shocked and appauled and kept rubbing my arm demonstratively.
In other news - we have a rabbi! A moviestar rabbi at that. Our rabbi actually starred in a movie with Robert Deniro! Something like "Once Upon a Time America". And in that movie - guess who he played? He played a hasidic rabbi! You must have real talent to be a non-hasidic rabbi and yet portray a hasidic rabbi. In case anyone is wondering - no, I have no idea what the difference is.
And have I mentioned that my wedding invitations finally arrived? My excitement about them only lasted for a day and a half. At that point I wanted to take a picture of all the disassembled invitations spread out over my floor, and then take pictures of the finished product - after I have tied all those bows. But after getting through less than half of the bows - my enthusiasm wore off. Thus, no pictures. I didn't realize exactly what was involved in the "assembly required" warning. So to the rest of you - stay away from "assembly required" anything!
Today I spent 3 hours filling out my bar exam application. I had to reconstruct my whole life history for the past 10 years. All the places I've lived and worked from the time I was 16 years old! And while I've been out of work for the past 3 years and feeling quite lazy, this reminded me that most of my life I have indeed been a hard-working girl.

I started reading the story, did not finish it yet.
I don't like stories like that.
And it irritates me that she is selling this pitifull problems to american public. I feel she is milking painfull topic, which american public would not understand or relate...and people who understand, those immigrants, will never read it anyway.
