love or lack thereof

fools in love
is there any other kind of pain

fools in love
is there any creature more pathetic

fools in love
never knowing when they've lost the game

fools in love
gently hold each others' hands forever

fools in love
gently tear each other limb from limb

Nov.

It's November!

I go to classes! I practice interpretation! I'm doing translations faster! I try to improve my note-taking skills! I do tests! I sight-translate! I am still writing stupid speeches for Public Speaking! I clean the bathroom sometimes! I go climbing!

So, pretty much same ol' same ol'... Perki has come and gone, I hang out with my roommates and my friends from school, we drink and dance at bars and last weekend we played board games. I'm still pretty good at Taboo... unless I miss the cultural referent, which happens with some frequency.

American Thanksgiving is coming up but I'm staying here and hopefully ingesting some turkey at Shannon's house. I just bought my ticket to go home to Yellowknife on Dec. 15 and more is in the works for me to be in Tel Aviv before New Year's. I have all of January off and am hoping to spend it there, but poor Perki's got classes and exams all through January, so there will be plenty of time for me to read and watch TV, which is of course all I do on vacation.

Yay! Semester ending soon! I hope it ends well...
