Honey, I'm home. Feeling good and looking semi-ok. My headache is dull and my stomachache is fixable and I'm done reading Hitchhiker's Guide and it is funny. Also, Danielle, I found Reading Lolita in Tehran in Dubai and bought it immediately, although I won't have time to read it for a while. Do encourage me though. I also found The Rule of Four, which is described as "Da Vinci Code for people with brains" so I like it already. Movies, movies, movies. Big Fish, Snatch and Gia. All beautiful, some funny and Gia, which I just got done watching, so so sad. I cried. Really. The plane ride home was interesting. I was sitting next to a girl named Muneera, who didn't like anything I liked and was a generally unpleasant and negatively-disposed person. And, I met a young father named Hassani at the airport. He was also travelling alone, and was eager to show someone the picture of his new-born daughter, whose name I can't pronounce (it's African). He thought my reading material was too old for me. I agreed. For some reason, it made him laugh, and this is the part where he showed me his kid's photo. I like that it was a relaxing end to a hectic trip. Somewhere between my aunt being robbed of over half a million dollars' worth of watches and jewelery, my other aunt's divorce, my cousin's wedding and my extreme apathy to most of these occurences, I needed a vacation. I did manage, however, to steal my cousin Ahmad, the funniest person in my life right now, to go register for my classes. My schedule so far looks like this: DESI201: Basic principles of 2D design (I seem to have neglected to inform them that I already finished 3D design in my Computer Assisted Design class.) UNIV101: The University Experience (I know, what the hell is that?) ENGL101: Composition and Rhetoric (I heard the professor for this course is tough. I'm totally excited.) DESI204: Freehand drawing I (Uh-oh.) My fifth course was supposed to be DESI203: Colour Theory, but the only section that isn't already full clashes with my entire schedule, so I'm going to need to sort that out some time soon. Classes start Spetember 4th. Meep. After I was done registering Ahmad took me to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Oh. My. God. Khalas, take me home. Sooooo, what's new with you? |

guajiragoddess | 08-08-05 11:07pm I'll encourage you to read it - but I don't remember it well because I read it in really choppy segments. It was my "whenever-I'm-not-studying-working-sleeping-eating-showering-bullshitting-cleaning-doing-laundry-eating-sushi" book. And then this summer I couldn't concentrate, so I read it from the last chapter till I got into the middle of where I left off.

cowboy67 | Re:, 08-08-05 11:59pm i really want to read it... may i borrow it from you sometime? |
moana | Re:, 08-09-05 5:39am Oh, I have a book like that. Animal Farm. Which means every time I decide I'm gonna read it properly I start over again and never really manage to get much further than last time, if at all.

cowboy67 | 08-09-05 12:06am hey toto, i'm glad you're back! you start classes before me! wow. congratulations on scheduling your first year of college classes. just so you know, 4 classes is plenty... but, wait, are you an over-achiever? planning to graduate in 2 years or something like that? well, anyway, don't stress too much if you can't get your color theory class to fit in until the winter semester.

moana | Re:, 08-09-05 5:37am I must-must-must-or-I'll-just-die-if-I-don't-likeohmigod graduate in under four years. I'm racing my cousin, see, he graduates high school next year and then he's going to pilot school for two years, so I just have to be done in three years so we can go to the UK together!
