Purim Sameach!!

Everyone is so in the Purim spirit, its exciting!
After class yesterday they were giving away masks right infront of our class buildings and selling 2 schekel beer!
Its said that on Purim its a mitzvah to get drunk so you cant tell the difference btwn Mordechai and Haman; basically its the best holiday ever since its like Halloween but Nationally sponsored! No class today!
Everyone bought the cutest outfits and hada big dorm party. Around 1130 we ventured down to Florentine which is a huuge crazy block party! All the cabs were charging excessive amounts for rides but we needed to see it..ppl everywhere jumping on cars and playing songs! All the bars had heavy cover but were selling drinks outside too! It was kind of like Halloween at Madison but no guards or anything preventing mayhem!
We got pushed and thrown aroudn soo much and me and samara lost all our friends! Eventually we found a coupel but couldnt stay out later than 130! It was super cool to see tho!
Today I was walking outside and the Chabad Rabbi was reading the Megillah right infront of the dorm! IT was perfect; there was a small crowd but ppl still rang their gragers whenever you heard Haman. Little kids are walking around in costumes and all the waitresses/ anyone wiht a job is dressed up!
I think were gonna head to Jerusalem at night to see the Hasidic people celebrate then take a 1 am sherut back!

PURIM SAMEACH!!
and dont forget purim is a luckkky day for the jews so you're supposed to say a prayer, etc because whatever you want will supposedly come true! Also this month of Adar is a lucky one so anything that might involve a little risk or reward is worth doing achshav (now)!
