Well Brazil lost, so I guess I'm hoping Germany will win now. Anybody but France really. Oh well.

Been watching a lot of bad American television this week. I'm just having a hard time getting myself motivated to much of anything else. They changed my hours at work, and I now start at 4am. It just kind of takes it out of me for the rest of the day. I would write more, but my brain doesn't seem to...

Good game last night. My program here is ending soon. I get to go back to the US for a little while, before I come back here in August. We're having a big party tonight, probably drinking quite a bit at BurtWard67's place. I don't plan on going to sleep untill dawn. Wish me luck.

I'm off to Jerusalem on monday. We're going to several different places, but Jerusalem is the most interesting to me. I've been in Israel for five months without ever having been there, so I'm glad I've finally got the chance. July is finally coming up, and I'll get to move out of the subhuman living conditions I have now. I've missed having my own appartment....

I have some strange Israeli version of strep throat. I didn't go to work today, and I'm just sitting around listening to Toots and the Maytals. I did have a good weekend though. I hung out with BurtWard67 and his new roommate a lot of the time. The girl I've been seeing came to visit, although she has now gone back to Brazil, and I'll...

I have experienced socialized medicine. As an American, this is quite a thing. I cut the living hell out of my finger today at work, and needed stiches. Even though I lost a good deal of blood, it was still not such a bad time. I didn't wait too long, and everybody was very nice. Israeli nurses are better looking than any I've ever seen...

I finally got some time away. It has done wonders for my mental health. I was supposed to go to Eilat with a friend of mine today, but she fell ill, so I went alone. It was great. I drank scotch and read a good book by my damn self. Also, it was somebody's birthday today at the bar where I was drinking, so I...

I really need more work on my Hebrew. I really can't speak it at all. I think I'm going to be spending a lot more time with my family. I can practice my Hebrew, and I can get away from all of the people I live with. My family's house is the one place where they won't follow me. I just found out that one...

I have made a very important travel discovery: Don't spend four days in a very tiny room with people who you are already a bit sick of. I ended up devoting a good deal of my time in Tel Aviv to telling these people just how much I hate them, which turns out to be quite a bit. Well, I guess it feels good to...
