I don't have time to explain right now, I'm FREAKING OUT
I have a rabbi calling me in a half an hour

I'm terrified, I think I'm going to cry.

WHo knows what he is going to ask?
Who knows how I will answer?

No, but it's too long of a story to tell.

I have a meeting with a rabbi tomorrow morning, I'm very scared he is just going to send me away.

I don't see why he would, his reason for being is to help others is it not?

Rabbi means teacher in Hebrew; sort of the equivalent of a priest, but for Judaism.

It can be nerve-racking if you want to convert.

I've been studying Judaism for a couple of years, living as kosher as I can.

He said to me;

"Live Kosher, observe shabbat and then get back to me in a month"

The whole conversation.. he was fiddling around on his blackberry.

Well at least he didn't completely blow you off, though perhaps he isn't expecting you back. If so, he'd be in for a surprise I'm guessing.

I'm not goign back to him
orthodoxy is not for me right now.

Oh okay.
By the way, have you ever heard of a book called The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs. The author wasn't particularly religious but he decided to follow all the commands in the Bible including those in the Old Testament. I haven't read it yet, but my oldest brother read it and now my parents are.
I just mentioned it because you might find it an entertaining read.
