my siyum hashas experience

it all started a day before the great siyum when i asked Mrs. Plotnik to bring me home a ticket to the great event from the bookstore where she works that her brother owns. i told her i didnt have to pay for the ticket because i'm a student and its free for students. she didnt think i was the type of student they were referring to on the poster and i assured her i was, but that i will check into the matter myself and if i have to pay i will. so i went to the Morse Auditoriumat Boston University, and as luck would have it, i got a seat right away with lots of empty seats around me. i wasnt sad that i didnt have any close friends there or someone to sit next to, i wasnt sad that i drove myself to the siyum hashas and sat all by myself...because i had lots of room to strrrrrreeeeeetch out. anyway we had our own siyum that we did before the NY one and then we had a haschalah and divrei bracha before we went live to NY. the first speaker we heard was the bostoner rebbe but it was alittle fuzzy in the sound department. i listened to the next one too and then walked out in search of someone to sit next to. or at least to talk to. while outside i was approached by an upstanding memeber of the community to daven maariv. so i did with many other people in the basement of the auditorium and when we were done they were finishing upo the kaddish on the big screen. so then i watched the dancing all over the world and i even went around the circle once in boston. thats when i found out from the agudah guy that I AM the student they were referring to and i didnt have to pay for my ticket. once i found that out i didnt feel obliged to stick around, its not like i was paying for it. sdo i left also cause i was not understanding a lot of the yiddish that was spoken and i was a little bored. but kudos to all those that stuck around.
