Wednesday afternoon I took a break from college life and went to spend Rosh Hashanah with my cousins in London. That evening we had a very nice Rosh Hashanah dinner and I got to meet my cousin's friends which was another opportunity to talk with actual British people. One of them even studied at the same university where I'm taking my classes abroad. Most of her friends were speaking German which I thought was so cool...seems like no matter where I go in London I don't hear much English! So much diversity! Yesterday morning we went to services at an Orthodox temple, so it was very different from home, but still an interesting opportunity to experience something new. It felt so good to see some familiar faces here in London, sleep in a normal bed without waking up to loud college kids in the middle of the night, and to spend some time with my cousin's adorable little kids.
When I got back home (Thoresby House counts as home for now I guess), my friends and I had our own Rosh Hashanah dinner with apples and honey and challah, and we even got my friend's grandmother's kugel recipe and made a delicious kugel which, considering we had no measuring cups and were in a very poorly equipped kitchen, is pretty impressive!
L'Shanah Tovah to all my friends and family back in Boston, definitely missing you all during the high holidays!
xoxo,
Sarah
