The Rachel Chronicles: Crawling out of my hole

Crawling out of my hole

My thesis is DONE and HANDED IN!
I am quite proud of my finished product and am excited to get feedback on it.

I have so much to share with you about the past few weeks. I've known for a while now that the month of March would be crazy, and its not over yet. Gann's Prom will be next Sunday night, and then life should be a bit less crazy.

In the past month I've:
* run a Purim program (6 hours for 350 people)
* facilitated Exploration Week for Gann and taught a T-shirt quilt making course
* finished a thesis (yay!)
* learned a new quilting technique
* broke my sewing machine
* was tempted to buy a new one
* planned a prom that will run next week
* gone to a cousin's bar mitzvah and next week, I'll officiate at another one

Pictures and more information should come soon. In the meantime, head over to iTunes and look up the Anderson Cooper (AC 360) podcast from March 16. Gann students are featured during their week of volunteering in New Orleans. It was a pretty special week.

I'm not really sure why all the pictures are from Israel, given that plenty of us celebrated Purim right here in Boston. I even saw many people out delivering Mishloach Manot this afternoon, or heading to Purim parties. Regardless....notice anything interesting about that photo? Perhaps that it was taken at an INDOOR PLAYGROUND IN SDEROT? Remember that? And the trip I went on to support the building of said playground? Yup, you and I helped to make that picture happen! Go...

New Blog for you to read The way my job at Gann seems to work is that before a current project is even over, the next one has begun. And thus, I am introducing you to something new that I am working on, without finishing telling you about Purim, Exploration week, or prom (which is coming up this weekend). Confusing, I know. But welcome to my life. On April 8, the Jewish community will say Birkat Hachamah - a blessing we say only once every 28 years. Because school won't be in session for it, we wanted to find other ways to educate and excite the...
