I am a sheep who's done ten things you might not have done...

[arib]

1. I've gone swimming in the Dead Sea.

2.I learned how to read when I was four thanks mainly to The Electric Company.

3. I'm two degrees from Kevin Bacon.

4. I've run along the rooftops of the Moslem Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. Twice while moderately armed.

5. I've helped construct a tent city.

6. I'm an Eagle Scout, and got everything in at the very last moment.

7. I'm trying to write a short story.

8. I've done research at Harvard University. (It sounds better than it actually was, I was doing office scutwork. Still, it looks great on a CV.)

9. I had my first kiss out in the rain in a foreign country.

10. I can, assuming there are no complications, deliver a baby. (This hasn't been tested, and I'd rather leave it to the professionals. Still, a good skill to have.)

The baby will be slippery, take care not to drop the baby!

The way my book put it was "avoid dropping the baby."

Really, a simple "don't drop the baby!" would suffice. :-)

Ah, yes, but because dropping the baby is theoretically a possibility at any given time (or the baby going through the hands, per the laws of quantum physics), "try to avoid dropping the baby" would be even more precise. But, of course, arib, if you DO drop the baby, we have where to stash it. =P

Huzzah!

The Vortex

Well, we don't know each other, but I've swum in the Dead Sea multiple times. I feel surprised noone on your f'list has, given all the other Jews. :)

How'd you find my LJ?

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

I've seen you comment multiple places (see our overlap), but in this case, I believe I was looking at Crystal's f'list.

I'm also two degrees from Kevin Bacon, as I was in a movie with Wallace Shawn.

I've also done research at Harvard, and am always in the middle of a short story. But those two are probably a little more obvious.

I've swum the Dead Sea.

[yaffa.livejournal.com]

I've swum in the Dead Sea (not just floating, but actual swimming, too, which is hard!), learned to read when I was four thanks mainly to Madeline L'Engle, the closest I come to Kevin Bacon is through an uncle who was in Wyatt Erp with Kevin Costner and I can, assuming there are no complications, give birth to a baby (hah, try that one). I came across your LJ through weirdjews and hope you don't mind me being nosey (hey, I'm Jewish). May I ask where you are doing your MSW? I've been looking into the Columbia program in NY and am curious about other possibilities.

[arib.livejournal.com]

I'm attending the MSW program at Wheelock College in Boston, Mass. (www.wheelock.edu) Wheelock's a small private college that focuses mainly on child-life and family issues on the graduate level. The undergrad program's pretty standard.

Lots of other schools in the area have MSW programs, too. (Simmons College, BU, BC...)

Welcome to the madness that is my journal, please enjoy your stay. :-)

I know Weelock, I was the SMFA RA at Simmons for two years. I was actually looking into the combined JTS-Columbia program and have been toying with second choice ideas. I don't know if I could go back to Boston for school again, though I do want to live there for a bit again.

And thank you for the welcome :)
