Third Entry
Hmm... It's very late-ish again. I have no idea why I'm writing so late\early... Anyway, I guessed I should. I just had this feeling of lack of achievement.. I think it was induced by an MSN chat with a few friends, that kept on talking about their fics, other people's fics, etc. It made me feel kind of bad, seeing as I really want to write, but lack the skill or persistance needed for me to write in a language that isn't my mother tongue. My level of English is high enough to allow me to properly express myself, but it's not good enough for me to really flow with my writing.. I keep on getting stuck with redundancy, and having to look for other words, expanding my vocabulary. And that's just makes me stop writing... and I don't feel too good about it. So hearing them talk about nigh-million worded fics and stuff made me feel vastly inferior, to both their talent and their mastery of the English language. And I don't like feeling inferior. And if I did write in Hebrew, none of them would ber able to appreciate it... which sucks.
Add to that the fact that I still haven't written the letter to the army, concerning my enlistment and service. I just want them to know I'm a student at the National Security College, 'cause that'll give me incredible leverage, which I need and want. I can't figure out how to write it... But I promised myself to do it soon. Thing is, I don't even know how effective that'll be... Whatever. I'll just write them, emphasising on my incredible motivation as well.
Actually, a few hours ago I ran my usual 2000 meter (some 1.5 miles) run, and did it in 11 minutes. That's after last time, which was 11;40. That's a grand improvement, but still not good enough. I need to get down to 7 minutes. So I need to train harder...
Other than that, nothing special happened today. But yesterday was incredible... Like I mentioned before, I was at an inter-national convention, concerning the issues of the Road Map and the war in Iraq. It was amazing... There were people like Michael Gurbachov (!) there, and also De Clerk (or was it Clark?..), who was South Africa's former PM, and the one that ended the Appartheid there. Each had a lot to say... There were also two Palestinian speakers, one of them was a nice proffesor that used to lecture at the Hebrew University, who seemed very intelligent, but also a little out of it. He talked about 'embracing', and how two states for two people is not the way to go, that we need to live together... A dreamer.
There was also that lying sonofabitch, Sah'ib Arickat, which is Araffat's foreign minister. He's the one that spread the lies about the 'Massacre in Jenin' and many other tales. I despise him... but he was rather mild in his speech, and did not provoke too much anger in me, or anyone else in the amphy-theatre. But just when it was time to ask questions... the murderous bastard left.
There were quite a few army generals there, which I enjoyed most listening to them. Fitting for army-men, they spoke short and to the point, and carried a firm and clear message. So it was easy to follow. Unlike Indonesia's former PM, whose English was barely understandable. I had to use the simultaneous translation for that one..
Oh! And perhaps most importantly, I got to use my camera! I've taken 30 pictures for the Mablal's (That's how we call out program\college. It's the Hebrew initials spoken aloud) news-paper. I think they're going to be good... I used my extra tele-lens - 70mm-300mm. Very nifty. :-)
Well... That's about it all. If I remember anything else, I'll edit. I guess.
