In Limbo

So here I am, "in limbo" if you will, at quarter-to-five am, waiting to prepare and leave for my second final exam.  I set my alarms this early because I didn't expect to hear them at first...and then I heard them immediately, annd here I am.

My final last night was a disaster! In preparing for the one this morning, I did not prepare enough for that one.  There were a couple of sections (one that is coming to mind is Banzhaf power distribution; I don't remember any specific others) where I literally couldn't write anything down.  Maybe I blanked, and maybe I never knew that information in the first place.  The second seems less likely, as took the midterm with that on it and did OK, but there you go.

This Sabbath, a couple who are both alumni of my college are celebrating the Bat Mitzvah of their daughter.  They are holding the ceremony and lunch on campus, and they have invited any students who want to come to the service and the lunch.  My favorite Rabbi is officiating,and my friend "Sammy" will be there. ("Sammy's" a new-ish friend but already very dear to me). So will the friend who is too dear to get a code name (unless I gave him one earlier and simply don't remember).  I haven't been to a Bat Mitzvah in a long time; it's going to be a blast.
