good news! i checked my grades yesterday, and was surprised to discover that my american studies paper - the one on tropic thunder and its depiction of racism in hollywood - has been returned with a positive result: no need to rewrite! only one result left for the year... and it's the highly offensive paper...

not so good news: i'm still not getting service and i've just realized that my phone didn't store a ton of photos that i took in amsterdam :( [what, what happens in the 'dam stays in the 'dam? please.]

that only makes my feeling decidedly sick this morning a little bit worse. so i'm up now, waiting for pg so that we can breakfast together, and then we'll be off to the shops. my head's feeling a bit clearer even if the rest of me is in the dumps. and i just noticed that the bites from last night aren't bothering me, so i guess the cream did help even if not immediately.

---weather report: yesterday was warm[ish] yet rainy, today is already a bit cooler but crazily windy. what a pleasure to have actual weather! and we got out of israel just in time to miss a long, unpleasant heatwave. when i immigrated to israel, i thought i loved the heat. i can tell you i don't like stupidly cold either, but i now know for certain which i prefer.
