('99-'00)
- You become conditioned to the sound of coffee mugs smashing on a floor
having fallen off a table
- You actually only saw Rabbi Brovender once the entire year
- Machsan? Music Room? Classroom? What's the difference?
- You know that a bathroom-turned-kitchen has endless possiblities
- Rav Moriah returning from Miluim (Bikiut Nach fan club). 'Nuff said
- You can identify the number 7 bus by its Nike swoosh and "No Fear" stickers
-"The mall" has nothing to do with Kenyon Yerushalayim. All the fun is in
Talpiyot!
- When you get in a cab, you don't ask to be taken to a school, but to a
hotel where all the cabbies know "lot's of girls there, yes?"
- We SO won kol chattan, we just didn't bring our entire school along for
the ride!
- Attendance on a tiyul is not part of your vocabulary
From Suzanne
:
Hello. Any Pre-98 grrls in the house? Shani Taragin? Fancy hotel?

Try Rav
Berlin and Rav Moriah (AHHHHH! lovesick look here)
