who's gonna be hard on my kidz now? some soft-spoken girl who does not demand from them as from future olympic champions?
on Fri Alissa and i went to hear Dr. Wangari Mathai who started the Green Belt Movement speak at Morehouse. i wish i went there - profs and priorities of that school are amazing. too bad i am not a black man cray.gif

held my majica for the last time today and hung out with my agnes grlfrnds. cried at church from this sucking feeling inside, but trusting God feels safe. Philippians 4:7 is true.
for all the ones i love and will cry for when away: A-Ha
Talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for you love O.K.


Go Away Jane Party

so, as mike has put, this was supposed to introduce me to the american tradition i did not experience before. surely, it all worked out as boys planned. boys decorated a cake for me. i like orange, so there was lots of it. it was also happy bcs the clown person on there had his head ripped of and placed in his hand. but boys drew him another head so that it does not look that barberic. check out blue and yellow tones (ukrainian colors) and THE thing by which i am known - my issue with "the Ukraine," they've really made it clear that they are not giving into my ways smile.gif the letters and the "pile of poop" in the bottom right corner were made out of nasty green gel, the final touch were the BBQ chips, and the candels that you cant blow out. the candles were really crazy, and we did not know what to do with them at the end of "ha-ha, jane, cant do it, huh? keep trying!" and how to make them stop for real. the chips caught on fire and the fire alarms went off. at the end, very few people dared to try the cake, and those who did had green and other colors teeth. looks like the cake had my personality bye.gif

and this is deniel trying to solve the fire alarm problem

i think i should go to sleep bcs i just fell asleep with my computer in my lap

thank you for everybody who came, and shame to those who did not acute.gif

my lil vlad виконав майстра спорту yesterday yahoo.gif

i am in my own new-york-type time zone (went to bed at 5:30am) with very little sleep and lots of play time. i will be worm out for the trip. maybe this means sleep on the plane. that would be good.gif also this should mess my body up enough to adjust easier to the new time bcs that is usually a problem.

Wonders Of Modern Technology

Our international director called the consulate for me today, and my visa is APPROVED --> yahoo.gif
today is dedicated to applying to a short summer program in Sweden and researching all the little things about my trip.
check this out, isn't this amazing? i can look up where i will live and where it is in the regard to the university.
IPB Image

by the way, any volunteers to drive me to the consulate?

yesterday i have appologized to a girl at who i was mad for two years. we get along well, as i have discovered after hanging out with her for a while. liberating.
today i said goodbye for a few years to a friend who i respect endlessly. sad.
IPB Image
what a dinner! i did not have this good of food since Dr.O's, probably.

The Wait
(Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by A. Poulin)

It is life in slow motion,
it's the heart in reverse,
it's a hope-and-a-half:
too much and too little at once.
It's a train that suddenly stops
with no station around,
and we can hear the cricket, and,
leaning out the carriage door,
we vainly contemplate a wind we feel
that stirs the blooming meadows,
the meadows made imaginary by this stop.
