i'm trying to figure out what classes to take in the spring and fall. i am also wrestling w/ the idea of lightening my course load in the summer by taking a fourth semester next fall. doesn't cost me extra or anything, but it will prolong my in-school activity and frankly, i am looking to get out.
not taking some time off was a mistake....

i feel as though i have just been ass raped, and not in the good "just for fun" pretending way that involves being tied up and a spanking (no pun intended) good time.

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....

About the party i'll definitely post up any info.. as for right now it still in the "we will see" stage.... it will be at a friend's place so he still needs to talk to the flatmates... but it is a huge house.... and all the house mates are young people from brazil.... so it is probably a go... and don't get all worried about the costume... i think most of the people won't be in disguise... our wallet is kind of anorexic right now, so probably we will just throw on some rags and dress as arsim or as hobos...
about the pic... puzzling, right? so out of place to find a hobbit in j'lem.... but that's how they roll apparently...
yesterday some snow made a diva-like appearance in j'lem... and i say diva-like because as soon as it was about one feet from the ground it melted... but it was nice... except for the cold that has been clinging to my body and soul lately...
see yaa....
ps... seems the internet router is favoring me again

so i'm at my parents and people will be here in about 15 minutes for dinner. my parents, this other couple and this divorced woman all have shabbat dinner together and every friday night they switch who's doing dinner...whenever i am around for the weekend, it always ends up at my parents, i don't mind. when i get bored, i can go hide out in...

It is so great with warm fuzzies all around to see you express ur feelings about Joual!
U r obviously head over heels in love with him and it's great to see and read about. Too many people aren't lucky enough to have that kind of relationship. Treasure every second of it. But it's obvious u do!!!
In addition to ur great blogs, I like to read Fishtotem's comments too. What he says always makes sense and is often humorous.
This is a must stop and read blog place!
Have a great weekend!

Right back at you Johnny... great pic posting and interesting/nice comments also...
JB... the point is i don't think i can hang in there wit the mind games... the course is really stressful and dealing with crazy gals is not a thing i want to get into right now.... *sigh*.... still the chemistry is strong... i feel like a muppet with a strangers arm up my ass, tere is a puppeteer holding the strings to my life.... (not as dramatic, but is sure tiresome)

I think u only think those milestone years (30, 30, 50, 60) r old until u reach them and suddenly what looks like old isn't anymore. My Uncle always says that now that he is 47.
Plus ur unbridled enthusoasm will keep u young forever. And look how u enjoy the conversation of the men at the coffee shop. Some day, a girl will be hanging on ur every word, seeking ur wisdom for a paper on international intervention.
I got a kick out of u playing an elephant in a 6th grade play!!!
Enjoy ur weekend with ur parents!

ucranian siren thing is going weird/fine nothing serious, my russian is improving and i passed the hebrew test with 80 points out of 100 which at one point i couldn't think it would happen but apparently i'm not so screwed, still my biggest problem is spelling, if i can nail that i'm free...
not much more has happened... internet here in beit canada sucks so i'm going to blog probably tomorrow from home in rashlatz....

3 papers down, 2 to go as well as a test to proctor and a test to take.

i might have just written 18 pages of the best bullshit known to man.
i might hate being a hardcore procrastinator but damn if it doesn't result in good work.
i just analyzed the problems w/ integrating schools in the deep south in the 1950s using elitist and new institutionalist theories...HA!

same thing over here, the taka program is taking a fair amount of time... my spoken hebrew as stated before is as good as a loaded firearm in a war situation, but my written one is as tits on a nun (useless) and i am now learning all this tenses, adjectives, rules, forms, etc. and it goes against my nature to start analyzing something that for me is just natural... so it is hard to take the classes... plus i'm in j'lem and while here the hebrew is generally better language wise it differs in lost of details like enunciation from the rest of the country... people told me that once, i didn't believe them... now i'm noticing and is burning me out to deal with all this small details and to be corrected by the teacher on common everyday use words that i have been using for years and that anywhere else in this country people say exactly the same... and the homework is insane too... but hopefully i will get better and faster at this...
anyhow...
good to see you are managing to procrastinate AND be productive... not everyone can pull that off...
enjoy the rest of the weekend and T-A weekend...

followed your advice... acted random, yelled... and even growled, stared and barked at one point... but still i don't think it is such a crazy behavior... maybe i'm not normal... and sorry for the daylong lag... turns out the already slow internet at the dorms has the bad habit to stop working and work selectively with only a few computers... my laptop not being one of the randomly chosen...
enjoy t.a. i'm back at home for the weekend as i discovered after last night dorm party that friday dorms get empty till saturday and so my options were stay there for an alone weekend with no internet and no one t talk and no books since i left them home... or take a bus back to rishon... come to speed with cyberlife... eat homemade food and catch a show on tv or read a little... so yeah... that was tough to figure out...
well godspeed on those papers...

by the way... i got stared at in the bus home by a "datii chozer b'chuva" like if i was some kind of alien or something... probably because of the ink... not that i mind... but then we got on the bus... he seats a couple of places in front of me... plugs headphones and half the bus has to hear his trance-psycho music all the way from j'lem to rishon... talk about hypocrisy...
