i'm not quite sure whats making this week feel so dragged out and excruciating as it feels.
i want it to be Friday already.
i want my weekend now.
although, i also want it to be next Tuesday, too, so that the class is over.
and yes, i know it will be incredibly anti-climactic.
and having more free time will make my being broke right now even more annoying. but, right now, i want it done with.

i'm not looking forward to tonight.
i have a feeling class will run till 9, and after i've adjusted to it getting out at 8:30, the extra half hour will drag.


i can't decide just what i want to do about my trip.
originally, i wanted to go august 30th - sept. 8, but that's just not happening.
alternate dates are sept. 21st - sept 29, but ticket prices are still over $650.
now, the tickets are a birthday (well, two birthdays and a hanukah) present, but that's still much. this would also mean that i'm in europe while my family is in israel, which a part of me wants to avoid. and, europe's flooding right now. but, i feel like i need to do this. when i didn't have my citizenship, i really wanted to go abroad and couldn't. as soon as i got it, i went to london, and haven't really been abroad since. the trip to jamaica reminded me of how good it is to travel alone, and i made up my mind about this trip. and i'm the type of person to break my back bending over backwards to try and follow through on something i've resolved to do (which, sadly, is more of a weakness then a strength).
something else to consider is that according to roma, tickets to russia are dirt cheap right now. the problem is that he is going in December, and there's no way i'm up for a russian winter. my grandfather mentioned going in the fall, but i haven't heard any details since.
heh - in all actuality, the person i'd really like to go to russia with is stasia, but she was there visiting her dad in the spring and the odds of her being able to go again so soon are zil to none. i'll shoot her an email to check, but its nothing to hold my breath over : (
in theory, i should prolly consider spain, too, just to have another option. we'll see...

and i'm already excited the vacation i want to take around January/February. it'll most likely be an all-inclusive resort somewhere tropical or an adventure trip, also somewhere tropical. yeah...

I don't think Israel is the best place to be right now. You would be smart to avoid it.

heh...
unfortunately, my stepdad has issues. i'm not going there, but he's taking my mom & debbie. i'm just slightly apprehensive about that many of us being off the continent at the same time.
when i went to london, the first week i was gone, my parents were in a cabin in canada and my grandparents had gone back to russia. an emergency came up (because my father was an asshole) and not having anyone i could even call was very disheartening, even if it was only for a day.

Yeah, I definitely know that feeling. There aren't many people I can rely on if there is an emergency. It would be awful if there wasn't anyone I could call.

even though i'm usually broke and not much of a superhero, i am ALWAYS here for you to call. no matter what. know this and feel safe (er).

at the time, the crisis was that my father told me he won't pay my tuition the day before it was due. i barely slept that night...
