BAH! What I wrote up there is pretty wordy, but it sounds like the Rab is looking for overly flowery language.

Flowery but amazing.

The only direction he gave me was to keep each essay under 2 pages. (apparantly the writing assignment he gave in one of my classes stuck in his mind -- I handed him an 8 page paper)

One of the challenges here is that I''ve got 2 Rabbi''s & a cantor going to be reading and examining everything. The rabbi I''ve been working with is only about a year older than me (so 26 or so), eats meat, and is very direct. The other rabbi is the head rabbi and he is old (I''d guess 60+), vegetarian, and nearly impossible to read emotions in. Cantor is just.... Well, he wanders around greeting people in song.

apparently she drives faster than you

i don''t know the going rate to get to places like the bahamas buuuuut they seem to be fairly reasonable, and last year they had a $500ish (probably more like 550) fly anywhere they fly, as often as you want, for a month dealie, just pay taxes/fees which seem to run under 100. but as of right now it''s 320 round trip from JFX to Nassau in Oct. for a weekend

I think J would kill me if I took an October vacation without him. That''ll be our first wedding anni!

I still think Vegas could be a good option... most people can find reasonable flights there. My PR flights were also cheap.

lol i''ll have LA, long beach, and san diego.

Vegas would be completely do-able, and quite possibly PR. but hey, if i can''t con someone into doing that month thing with me if they offer it again i may just hop around and say hi

and run deliveries of cupcakes and wine of course

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

TP I see how it's hard for you to tell what sort of audience you're writing for. Personally I think you need make it more personal and less about what you did. Talk about what you learned instead. ETA: You need to show that you're passionate about this. They don't HAVE to let you convert.

 

[vc10um]

OOOO...VEGAS!!!

(And actually, I have 2 airports, too...Dulles and Baltimore...but Dulles is easier to get to.

)

Plus if we go to Vegas I can say hi to my mommy.
