| maybe I should update the world about my life... but
not right now... |

| things are changing. I feel like I'm finally getting to do something that I want to do, even if only for the purpose of doing it. I am not at that point where I feel like this experience is do or die, right or wrong. I am not going to return to omaha and break down if this doesn't give me some sort of immediate direction for my life. I have time to find out where I need to be.
I have time to enjoy my life before I have to start worrying about it.
I have a stalker at work. Guys amaze me sometimes. When I say that I don't want to go to dinner with you, that means just what is sounds like it means. That's fine that you compliment my smile but, seriously, it doesn't mean you are going to get somewhere. And offering to buy me things because I apparently don't know how to have a good time isn't going to get you anywhere, either. You can't buy everyone. And never, I repeat, NEVER try to kiss me. Who the hell does that?
Two more days... just two more days...
I went to the zoo yesterday with the girl whose room I am taking for the summer. She is actually from nebraska which I find strange but... whatever, I'll go with it. We didn't get to the zoo until 4:00 so we didn't have to pay to get in which was nice. I noticed that, after a certain hour there are many more loose animals than I think there should be at any zoo. I chased after a prairie dog but he got away. And the loose turkey vultures seemed to appear out of nowhere... and often... I actually don't like zoos and we kept talking about how bad we felt for the animals. You could see the sadness in their eyes. The penguins are always the coolest, followed by the monkeys, of course.
Attention Henry Doorly Zoo: you need bigger areas for your animals. The end.
I need to pack and then go to work. Tomorrow is heather's wedding and then sunday is the gabriel family reunion which equals craziness :) I'm flying out monday so the next time I write will be from austin, tx. I'm excited. You should be excited, too :)

I should be heading to my painting class right now but I don't feel like it. My professor won't get there until a quarter after anyway. I'm tired and I have far too many things on my mind right now. I brought a good share of them upon myself but that's usually how it is.
Elie Wiesel was almost attacked the other day. If you don't know who that is then look him up before you talk to me again. It was by a reporter who denies that the holocaust ever occurred.
My class begins in one minute. I still don't care.
There was apparently a shooting or a near shooting outside of the building I work in. I'm pretty excited about one day dying here.
I really really wish that my computer was fixed. I miss it. I miss it a lot.
I'm trying to get an internship for the summer but I'm not sure where I'm going to go yet. I've narrowed it down to three places but I can't tell you where. You will find out in good time. Even if I'm staying here... please don't say that I'm going to be staying here...
ok, I should probably get to class. But first, I've noticed that people think I weigh a lot less than I really do. I don't know what that means for me...

| The
United States has the potential to be a global leader. Congress has the
opportunity to remind the world of the good that can be done in the
name of the American people, to help people around the world build
better lives and restore our brotherhood and sisterhood. The promises
made to poor countries are not just words on paper. They concern the
lives of people who, in different circumstances, could be you or me.
- Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in regards to AIDS and poverty relief in Africa.
