What a day! My brain could not handle anymore studying….two tests tomorrow, one midterm and one “regular” test. Well, I so happened to be on campus today because my dad finally decided to get hearing aids and I was taking him to the people I trust most. After two and a half hours of personal attention, my father agreed to purchase two oticon go hearing aids. In anycase, I ran into my Professor who is having a proctor give us the midterm tomorrow nite. Due to the Jewish Holidays, the Professor will not be there. Anyway, she asked me if I was prepared for the midterm and I told her that my brains were trying to hold onto information for two tests tomorrow and why can’t the professors coordinate tests on different days? She laughed. Ten minutes later, she approached me and offered me to take the midterm with the religious students on Sunday the 14th of October. My response was, “but I’m not religious and I don’t feel right doing that.” She shrugged her shoulders and said okay. The minute she walked away, it was like a light bulb went off in my head………….PEARL, THE PROF OFFERED YOU AN OUT SO YOU CAN FOCUS ON SPANISH HONEY! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE “A”. So I ran after her and asked if I could still take her up on the offer and she said sure. I thanked her …….profusely! and maybe a bit too much…..but I was grateful for her kindness. When I walked back to my father he said to me in yiddish, is that one of the students? I said, that’s my Professor. With which he responded, zee is zayear shain a bissel yink. ze can zain aiyer tuchtour.

Remember “All it was was Football”? This is a parody on that.. “All it was was Pearl’s Grad School”. This is the story of a sweet naive little Jewish woman who goes back to graduate school. And when told that exams for Jewish people can be delayed and give her more time to prepare… what’s she say? “I’m not religious”!
Amazing! It’s one for the books!
Now tell me how in the world she would not have figured out long before that the exam was on a Jewish holiday… and that she being Jewish would be eligible to delay her exam is beyond me! Are we sure she’s Jewish?
I think she’s pulling the wool over our eyes. Can we be sure she’s even in Long Island in a Jewish community when sukkot is not spell according to tradition? Do we think she even has fruit for the holiday?
Guess we need to get out a book!
And are we sure she’s in graduate school. Can anyone believe that a graduate student wouldn’t know all the ins and outs for getting the best advantages in school? And what’s she taking an ORAL language class, when she professes to have a hearing loss? And then asks “how can I hear to take an oral exam?”
Amazing, but it’s in the internet record book!
Now all turn to page 69 and we’ll sing a verse or two…. clap along please
Little Pearlie, a sweet girly was noted for being a jew Several tests came, and our great dame Lost her way and was without a clue.
She thought our humor was completely missing thought our jokes were all about dissing!
And we all watch her go down that path… And would thank her for the big LAUGH!
Now.. it’s in the book!
We do love you Pearl! Sometimes! LOL Hugs, Malisa
