circular year
while frantically finishing my columbia application (it's done now) i was rifling through my israel papers trying to find some information for my thesis quasi-proposal. i came across a copy of haaretz an israeli paper, that one of the journalists i'd met had written a page oner for. i continued to work on the paper, using the newspaper for a bit, and as i was putting it aside, i saw the date. january 3, 2006. exactly one year ago.
right now i'm helping my mom pack for india. yes... india. she just suddenly decided, today that she was going to go tomorrow. my uncle is dying and his daughter is getting married on saturday. my mom will get there on the wedding day. she's nuts, but i convinced her to do it. she needs to be more gutsy. i wish i was going.
and i'm perplexed by matthais's emails. first of all, because he breaks off into french. and also because he is so into me and i don't know why. he says that he wants to leave rome to come to the u.s. to be with me:
I want to see you so much. I m thinking about leaving everything here to come to see you in us. I think that I really have to do that. I have never been like that with a girl and you are so... I have to see you again. really.
the best part of it all is...we never kissed. never held hands. never said we liked each other. we were just being friends and hanging out. i mean, yeah, i burst into tears in front of him like three times, but other than that it was just normal friend stuff.
french things that i can't understand:
-coucou
-this: gros bisous et apprend le francais pour quand je viendrai. gros bisous et t en fait pas pour ton copain tu trouvera quelqu un de mieux j en sur sur. tu est une fille genial et tu merite vraiment quelqu un de bien.
i got some of that paragraph...just not everything.
