Nooo!!! Why didn't you tell me?!?

So now, I the title is exactly what I wanted to shout over and over yesterday evening.
Without school I'm just a hute mess and have no clue what day and what time it is.
When I came home from Würzburg yesterday (I'd been visiting a friend with 2 other friends there) I went on-line and completely forgot the time and day. No one told me it was Friday and with thecurtains closed I didn't realite it was getting darker and darker - and therefore later and later. After 9 p.m. I was still on-line which doesn't work too well with me being religious - or more exactly, trying to get this working for me better...
Right now I'm in the middle of getting used to the easier things of being Jewish before I actually meet up with a rabbi (some time in October or November this year, if everything works out the way I want it to...)
Well, I guess this just means I should probably set my alarm for five minutes before the next time, so I have enough time to get off-line and do what I intended instead of being absorbed by work.

Kathrin, does this mean you are an Orthodox Jew? A couple of friends of mine follow the rules of Shabbos (or is it Shabbat?), so they're never online on Friday or Saturday.

I'm not yet Jewish. I'm still at the point where I have to meet with a rabbi and take courses, but I don't think I'm 'in' (sorry, I'm lacking words here) for the Orthodox movement. Rather Conservative at the moment, I think...
But yes, to some part I do keep Shabbat (plus no pork and those things). I mean, I hardly ever go online, don*'t phone, use a car or anything like that. I just spend the time reading :)
The trip to Würzburg was really great with that, cause we left early Friday morning and got back home before sunset. So I had no problems with that.
