current {dissatisfied} thoughts:
- i'm tired.
- i've been playing in the dirt. i have dirt in my socks, underwear and ears
- i'm too trowel happy. i dig too deep too often.
- the office of the registrar can go jump off a bridge. i can't register for courses
- i have to wash pottery that smells like butt crack in an hour
- i couldn't sleep last night because mosquitos were biting the bottom of my feet and it was near 35 degrees C
- it was 125 degrees farenheit today, which i am unable to convert
- the arab guy sitting next to me at this internet cafe is singing along to jojo's "get out"
- i've never worked so hard in my entire life and sometimes i want to give up
current {satisfied} thoughts:
- i saw a goat wearing a n apron/shirt (idunno) over its udders. apparently goats who are nursing do that. and these goats are ugly to the max.
- there are kids playing soccer in an empty lot nearby. it's like a world cup plug
- i dont need to focus on looking good. all the archaeologists here look like bums. it's the look of authenticity. my nails have cracked and i don't care. i smell and i don't care. if i DID care, i should start looking for another program
- i'm not sure whether i actually like field archaeology and that's okay. i'm not worried cause i'm not in charge here.
- i no longer need my immodium
- a can of fanta costs 40 cents AT MOST. i bought a jar of nutella for 1.50 CAD
- people aren't always here to screw you over.
- there's a mosque microphone next to our hotel window that wakes us up with a call to prayer at 3:45 am just in case we accidentally sleep in. and it doesn't sound terrible.
- i haven't had the energy to read my bible. BUT - i realize that i need to make that energy and am determined to do so
- i haven't been hit by a car while crossing the street (speed limits and lanes do not exist here.)
- kids here are cute. even when they're mobbing you
- i went to the MECCA MALL - i ate sbarro for lunch and had mars gelatto
- my body has gotten over its initial pain and i no longer feel like i'm 80 years old
- i got free ice cream because the store didn't have change
clearly the good outweighs the bad. i'm satisfied.
