*** yesterday ***

well, no sleep for me. i was in class by 08.30. suffering greatly, with plenty more to go.

after class, we went off to tel aviv, where our group for the year-long applied project spent the afternoon / evening working on our initiation document.
we discovered, around 19.00, that we'd been doing everything wrong from the start. we called the instructor, and he changed our project completely.

everyone else doing the project is doing meaningless little things, as the point of the course is understanding the process, not doing the development. our group, however, is now developing an actual system that will be implemented by the university.
for free.
not impressed. we need to figure out how to get at least SOME financial compensation...

got a ride to training, stopping on the way to pick up a girl who wanted to try it out, and see if it suited her.
i was still sick, and sore (pulled muscles), and hadn't eaten since lunchtime. the training was really, really hard for me.
i fact, i'm surprised i survived...

we missed the bus home by seconds, because i was desperate for a chocolate (i needed the sugar!), and we started walking back to herzliyah. fortunately, about halfway there, another bus came, so i could stop stumbling all over the place.

*** today ***

i had some soup, a hot shower, and went to bed.

and SLEPT! i woke up this morning feeling SO much better. my throat, chest, and muscles are still screwed, and my left ear's been blocked for the past hour or so, but it's all much easier to deal with, now that i've had some shuteye.

funny dream i had -
i was in sea point, and needed to take a taxi with two other people, and the taxi driver walked off for his break. so i stole the car, and we went on our way, avoiding the police, eventually managing to return the taxi, just in time.

unfortunately, the driver could see it had been driven...
