News update

It’s about 95 degrees here in Washington dc, at 10 o’clock at night. I’m sitting on the front stoop enjoying my sister’s laptop and wireless internet, smoking argila and watching the traffic go by. I wish it wasn't so super hot during the day, because this would be a very nice way to pass time…
It tastes much better than my first attempt during the 4th of July. This is my second time using it all summer. I have smoked twice in the last month. Pretty different from the twice a day occasions this year. Although my lungs are probably healthier for it, I’ve missed it a bit. More the social component than the actual taste. It miss sitting in cafes for hours on end, shooting the shit with friends and smoking. And having someone else to prepare the coal and head and put it together, and take it all away when I’m through. I guess you can’t have it all.

I have decided to go to graduate school. I’m just not feeling DC. I don’t have a job and none of my applications have received a positive response. I don’t have the energy to be more aggressive about it right now, and I realize that’s the only way to get a job in this city. So, another time…
I leave for London in a little over a month. No idea where I will live, hopefully somewhere central that won’t totally break the bank. I’m excited yet petrified. I am ready to have more adventures and be back in an academic setting. What if I fail? What am I going to do after with the new degree? It’s just one year, I keep telling myself. So we shall see what happens…

It seems like the world is going to shit (war is breaking out all over), but I am just chilling...
