fortunately, i didn't forget my mom's birthday this year! yay me!
here's what's up:

as i said, i trained hard last night - i'm still feeling it quite majorly.

i went to sleep around 3am, woke up at 9am and got to class on time for once. we had a whole bunch of boring presentations, and ours was definitely not the worst.
always nice.
the psychotic american's presentation was done on nelson mandela, and it was a complete load of bollocks. they proposed all sorts of messed up things about him, about how he isn't such a good guy, and that he's a hypocrite. and that really upset me.
he may not be perfect, but he's madiba. fuck them! stupid americans.

she told her parents today. and i've been invited for supper tonight. i'm scared - shaken, and stirred. in fact i don't recall ever being this nervous.
as i think i've said before, if i was her father i'd be waiting outside with a loaded rifle and a big, welcoming smile. i expect no less.

*** later ***

obviously, i was wrong.
it's now 3am, and i'm still alive and kicking. supper was actually quite pleasant - great food in large quantities, and nobody acted as if anything was out of the ordinary.

no outbursts, no funny looks, in fact - no problem.
i feel so much better.

i'm going to arb around on the net for a bit, and then it's time for a visit to dreamy-dream land. tomorrow should be an interesting day - i have exams in eleven days, and i really need to study... i wonder if i'll even remember how?

and of course, i HAVE to go rollerblading tomorrow. what's a day without a decent opportunity to break a limb? they've just opened a skate park in ra'anana, so we're going to go check it out. i'll report back if i'm not stuck in a hospital somewhere.
