woke up via massive thunder and lightening.

we need rain, but damn, i could have actually slept in for the most part.

decided to say fuck it to do research at school and i am back in the cafe.

found out i can access journal websites by going into them via logging into my school account. might cut down on my going to school time.

good side, paper got extended to a week from thursday. though, i am still at a cafe working on it, though i really should finally pick a damn topic for my paper due sunday. i still have to send my topic to be "approved" but i think i will make up some BS excuse about forgetting.

anyone, any ideas on what to write about involving NGOs? my class was called "conflict and diplomacy in the age of globalization" and i want to write about an NGO fucking up some how.

i like writing about how things have fucked up.

i am having a really good time writing about why international intervention sucks and why the UN is dumb.

mmmm....

sitting next to 2 "raanana wives" (angle wives living in raanana...usually have an anglo husband) and they drive me crazy. think adult-version JAPs (jewish american princesses) and i just want to smack them...or bash my head against a wall. this is something i will never ever ever aspire to...yech.

tomorrow go to school early to study for exam on tuesday and do research for paper due sunday. tuesday go to school to study and take exam. the weekend will be spent on my paper due sunday. good news is that right after sunday, i have a day off for purim (yet another jewish holiday....kind of like "jewish halloween" as people dress up, give out candy and gifts and has a story attached) so i can work on my paper due thursday.

well, i don't feel completely stressed anymore...just slightly.

it stopped raining and the sun is coming out. i think there is only one more real day of rain then the season is over. it's going to be another drought summer as we didn't get enough rain, but what can ya do.

i really don't want to work today.

but i am missing 16 hours over the next 2 days which i will have to make up...arg.

at least my boss is american, so i get paid on time.

mmm...pay day.

talked to my best friend in the US this morning (he lives in cali so it's a bit more feasible) and told him that i am kind of nervous (or really nervous) about going back to the states in sept. i haven't been back in 2 years, some people i haven't seen in 2 years and some since i left (which will be almost 4 years by the time i get back). it's just weird. i know i've changed and i know things will probably be awkward. i have also decided that me going to my friend's wedding is present enough b/c the whole thing (airfare, places to stay, spending money and so on) is going to cost me like 1500USD. it's a lot. but it's my best friend getting married and all my other friends will be there, so it is worth it.

oh, i <3 raanana, all the people in the cafe are english-speakers right now.

it makes me giggle.

oh wow, i will smack these JAP-y bitches...haha.

xoox
