Well, I guess not much has happened. I've had a couple of long weekends. (Yay!). Still, I tend to plan more about what I'm going to do over the long weekend than actually do what I plan to do. I've got a really long essay that I have to write, but it's due in January, so I think I have a little time to slack of and relax. I shouldn't, I know, but I will anyway so what's the point in getting angry? Today I did barely anything, I printed out an outline for that essay and I sat around and read, wrote, and generally enjoyed myself. Mom's fasting today, as is Dad, so I'm the only one in the family (on this side of the world, anyway) who can actually eat something besides fruits and vegetables. Speaking in tongues is so weird. Mom does it all the time, and it's really annoying. I can't concentrate when she does it either and sometimes it just makes me mad. I try to be tolerant, though. It's not her fault I think she's crazy.
My best friend sent me an e-kiss as a joke. It was pretty funny anyway, and was more of an e-bite, cuz it was a vampire thing. I think I'm still in love with her, but'm not really sure. AARGH, why can't I still be in Canada?
Continuing with the agnst (however the hell you spell it), Bush got elected. I mean, wtf? I guess it's no real surprise, but that fundamentalist outlook and the way he looks at the camera during his speeches (like he actually cares about us, and not just money) just pisses the hell out of me. I actually know a guy who knows bush, he works at the saudi embassy. It's really weird, too, cuz he (the guy I know) does not appear to be a person who is in high political circles.
I saw an owl yesterday, in the middle of the city! It reminded me of Harry Potter. Mmm...Harry Potter...

Have you ever wondered why people say "cafeful!" AFTER you trip? I mean, once you've fallen flat on your face, it's a little late for people to be telling you to be careful. I'm sure it's really nice they care about you enough to give you a little advice after you've broken something (most notably, your pride), but can't we all see how completely useless it is? It's like saying "the kettle is boiling" when you really mean that the water INSIDE the kettle is boiling.
I haven't been writing much because nothing I really want to remember has happened. Mostly it's just school and stuff, and this really embarrassing episode where I blanked out on an essay quiz and ended up writing nothing at all. On a plus side, it's a super-long weekend for us. Three and a half days off! I highly doubt I'll do much productively, although I have written another couple of pages in my novel.
I think I don't love my best friend as much as I did before. It just seems sort of weird. I mean, when I was with her it was nothing special. I was really really happy, sure, but I didn't feel like I was oozing with love. I'd only feel like that when I was away from her. God, it's the prayer call and it sounds like the guy's a dying cat! Or is it a dying cat? I have no idea, but it just stopped. Anyway, about my friend...I don't feel that I love her as much anymore. It's sort of sad, really. But I have no idea what's going on with me. I met this marine at the American Embassy and I got all awkward around him. Do I have a crush on him? Or do I just think that I should because he's a marine and all marines are hot? Just when I think I've got my sexuality sorted out, something like this happens. It's so annoying.
Ok, I think that makes up for all the times I didn't write anything. And besides, I'm having typing issues today and I really think I should stop.
Stop already!

Yeah, so I haven't updated in a while....not much has really been happening. I mean, there's always school, school and more school. I discovered that I'm waaay to much of a perfectionist a while back. I also had a long weekend last weekend. I got Wednesday off and got to go to the library at the hospital! I only got out three books, but i was pressed for time. I was visiting Dad too. He showed us his new workshop that's being built for him (actually, it's already done) and then Mom and I changed out into scrubs and got shown around the OR. Dad introduced us to a bunch of his coworkers, mostly nurses. They all thought I was really beautiful...but it was interesting. I got to see the human liver and intestine while the human was still alive. They do operations now when they barely cut open the person, but just put these little tube things in you, with a camera so they can see what they're doing. It's all very high tech and spiffy, really. The liver didn't look to much different than that of a frog's, but I guess livers tend to look alike, as they all have the same function.
Other than that, I haven't done much. It's finally starting to cool down here, though. I no longer pay attention to the heat. It's still probably in the thirties...but being acclimatized isn't all that bad. It just will be when we go back to Canada for the winter break.
Found a new age book at the hospital library, rather surprising actually. This is such a Muslim country. I guess they probably don't care as much, or at least don't notice. Ramadan's coming up...ach. That just means Saudis honking their horns until three in the morning and me not getting a good night's sleep for a month. *sigh*
on the plus side, I do have a long weekend next week...
