I am sooooooo happy to hear that the El-Awads are ok. I am still sad and angry about the 360+ civilians killed in Lebanon though. It was good to read what Kofi Annan had to say to the world though. It is about time someone condemn both Hezbollah and Isreal for its action. Absolutely nothing is being achieved except the killing and dislocating of civilians.
I have discovered a new favorite food: peppers. I liked them, but now I figured out that all I have to do is toast them for 7 minutes and then I have dinner. It is very exciting for me :) I would like to hug whoever invented the toaster oven.
Exams are stressful. My teacher wants our class to volunteer to do out presentations again on Wednesday for fun. Yeah... right. I try to be Japanese and gentle about most refusals I make here, but at the end of today I was too tired to play games and just said "No, I am tired and I do not like giving presentations." One of the difficult things about Japanese culture is that no does not really have a meaning until you say it THREE times. Even then, the concept of no seems to make little sense to most people I know...
Anyhow, it is the weekend and I am happy.
