yet another reason why the prof. i TA for is fucking great. upon telling him one of the students that i had the program coordinator ask to type their final....

(side note: i have this "power" - if i can't read a final, i go to the head of the program and ask her to tell the kid to type the final - i can't ask b/c then i'd know who's final it is. students put their ID numbers on their finals, not their names BUT when i input all their grades, their names are next to their ID number....flawed system if you ask me)

...told her that he was going to fail anyway so didn't want to bother typing it, he sent me an email stating, "you give that lazy git a big fat zero."

(he's british)

it's great.

i'm teaching week 8 this next semester, media and intervention...should be interesting.

classes don't seem so bad and i am actually looking forward a bit to taking finals instead of the crazy 3 weeks where i had 5 monster papers due.

my international law class has a final, but the guy might give an option of a paper. for his, i might do the paper as he is old and a tad bit hard to understand. international political economy is 2 short papers and a final. but i have had the prof for undergrad and it just seems like a rehash of her intro to globalization course. time to dig up those old notes. psychological and cultural aspects of conflict management is soooo easy it's like a gift including a take home final consisting of 3 questions and typed, the final can be no longer than 4 papers (double-spaced). so easy. my conflict analysis class was canceled. post conflict reconstruction and reconciliation is a paper, but right now, it seems to be my only big paper...no big deal. my class on the politics of israel might be a bit hard b/c there's a final and the prof goes off topic...a lot. i will HAVE to do the reading for that class.

but all in all..not so bad, so far.

i'm watching mars attacks. haven't seen this movie in forever...so funny.

curry chicken and coconut rice for dinner tonight...mmmmm....

in TA til sunday morning. good stuff. very good stuff it's the part of the week that i look forward most to i don't think i've been this happy since...well, for as long as i ca remember. my last "relationship" was a severe mind fuck and i didn't really even trust anyone...my trust was severely broken. but i guess i was proven wrong reall, and i've never been more happier.

gap is coming to israel....time for real fashion.

all anglos get up and rejoice.

now just to wait til target.

my brother is going to propose to his girlfriend in the near future apparently. i want to meet the girl before but i dunno if that will happen. she's still thinking about converting....but who knows. i will have a future sister in law....eeeeeehh.

still don't know about twitter.....still thinking it's some kind of massive stalker tool.

i'm also looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight

have a good weekend all!

xoox
