today's assignment was to discreetly give the finger to people all day, so there's not much interesting to write about there. no freaking out my friends this time. i've been chillin' inside all day, not really knowing what to do and trying to get my life in order. i have to get my passport updated and then get a driver's permit, hopefully get a job somewhere in there . . . aaaaaghhh! it's not that i'm overwhelmed here . . . it's just that i'm losing my drive. maybe it's got something to do with the humidity, but time just slows down here, or at least people do. and it isn't until you wake up at 1am for the fifth day in a row that you realize that one month has passed and you have nothing to show for it. i've been sifting through all these old writings of mine from highschool. kinda creepy. i found one i thought was interesting, though. hope you know some spanish:

fuckin' weird . . . but that's pretty much what i'm feelin' like now. oh, yeah, and my mom is going to the west bank (yes, the one in jerusalem) for the month of july . . . so that's got me a) all jealous as hell, and b) thinking about politics and all that. for her light reading during the day, my mom was chose a pamphlet sort of book called "the origin of the palestine-israel conflict." my family is not normal. todays conversations have consisted of children's books, genocide, and making mango mousse. there's a reason i can't spend one whole day in my house without giong fucking crazy. i think i've hit that point about now.
