I know that I said I was going to stop being an ass and start appreciating things but I am not a happy camper right now.
There is a lot of drama surrounding my flight home. Basically, when we talked to the travel agent he said that it made more sence financially to choose an arbitrary return date and then pay the fine involved with changing it rather than buy an open ended ticket that would allow me to go home whenever. So I picked June 30 because I knew it was as good a date as any and that I would definetly be done by then. The reality is that I will be done on June 12 and I want to go to London on the 14th or 15th. They wob't let me change the flight in any way. So I thought I could get a one way flight to London and then just pick up my second leg from there. Turns out that if I don't board my flight on the 30th in Tel Aviv, my whole ticket is voided. Unless my dad or sister can get something done I'm going to have to buy a roundtrip ticket, fly to London on the 14th, back to Tel Aviv on the 29th, Tel Aviv to London on the 30th and then connect to San Francisco. What crap. That is a minimun of 10 unnecessary hours sitting on my ass on a plane. How shitty is that? Nothing is worked out and I'm getting very nervous about it.
I generally feel like I've been having minor... not panic attacks but angst attacks. I haven't really gotten any of my end of semester work yet though it's not a huge deal since nothing is due til July 9th. I may end up just working on it during my time in London while I'm waiting for Eric to get there.
I miss my James. And the fam. And the Brandeis kids I haven't seen in forever. I wish I could have gotten James to come visit me here instead of traipsing all over Europe.
The weather has gotten all hot and humid. It's getting pretty uncomfortable. Today Eliya enlightened me to the fact that there are unclaimed fans in the hall cabinet and so I ganked one which at least alleviates some of the problem. I need to talk to the group I'm supposed to be working with for the paper in my social work class because I haven't had any contact with them in forever, I have no idea if they've done any work and I'm leaving in not much more than a week.
I'm nervous about everything. I hope that I can start sending things over to Ilana's house and I also need to remember to cancel my cable and internet.
