*** yesterday ***

i was completely wasted by the time i got home yesterday. the weather here is not conducive to moving faster than 1kph, or not being in practically direct contact with a fan or air-conditioner.
i rested for about an hour, and then went to taekwondo training.

when i got there, i had to have a shower BEFORE i could put on my uniform: and it was a waste anyway cause after five minutes of warm-up i was soaked again.
my new year's resolution is going to be to figure out how to stop sweating. i hate sweating - i get all wet and disgusting and it doesn't lessen the heat. stupid human body.

for the good news, i found out that i can get sponsorship for the NIS 5800 that i need in order to do the teaching course at wingate. the deal is that once i've passed the course, i can teach to pay back the money.
the only problem is that i have to make sure that the army won't take me in during the course, and also i feel uncomfortable with the fact that if i screw this up, i'd somehow have to get the money back some other way. and it's a LOT of money.

i spoke to the guy who was in the call of cthulhu LARP on saturday. i can take a character who doesn't speak hebrew - this could be a lot of fun. i'm quite amped about this, i haven't done it much, or in a VERY long time.

i slept at her place last night (the parents are away), and then i had to

*** today ***

wake up at 07.15 this morning. i had 45 minutes to walk home, in my sandals (i must admit i find these things more acceptable as footwear as the days go by: i wasn't even the least bit self-conscious about my flip-flopping today), brush my teeth, put on my blades, and get to the university.

i barely managed - and then it turned out that i didn't have all the information i needed, so it was all worthless anyway.
figures.

i have an exam at 16.00 (it's now 10.00), and i'm not ready. and i'm tired. so i'm going home now, to a) sleep, b) study, and c) try to find the information i need so that i can get everything sorted out.

and then tomorrow morning, cock-fart (AGAIN!), i gotta get on the bus to go to the base so i can speak with my commanding officer, to see if i can get permission for the teaching course. and i get this sinking feeling whenever i think of him - he hates me.
i suspect it's because i don't speak hebrew with him.
fucking DIB (Dumb Israeli Bastard)

*** later ***

i had to sweat heavily to get my exam grade for our course in marketing research, but eventually i did it:
67%!!
more than the 60% requirement! now i just hope that my assignment scores won't bring it down.

i just finished our macroeconomics exam - it sucked. i had to figure out the formulae on the fly, and there were questions requiring memory retention. which i don't have.
so i'm hoping for another pass.
that's about it - i desperately need sleep before i go to the army tomorrow; i'm guessing food wouldn't go amiss either. i'm really hungry.
but i'm feeling much, much better with this grade.
