wild dogs

The strike is still on. It's been almost a week now - five days, I think. Today was the first day I made it to school for Moshe Meir's "torah lishma" class. It was okay - kind of intersting, but not very. I don't think I'll be going every day. Unlikely.

The reasons I haven't been able to make it - on Wday I went to Hadassah with Jacob to work on our biology thing. We cut up rat intestines...disturbing but strangely fun. It felt like crossing some basic line, but it was okay because it was for a good cause. Strange. And then on Thursday I went to Tel Aviv for a modiin interview.

It was a long bus ride, and I felt calm and happy the whole way. I was alone, watching the scenery go by, feeling like a wanderer moving on from a place that's gotten old. I think I just have a romantic thing for long bus rides. Maybe since the end of the 2nd season of Buffy...but I think from before.

So I got there, and I met the pretty girl who had been with me and netanel and yarden at the tests a million years ago. We sat together and filled out their forms. It was nice to have someone to talk to. They were playing MTV in the waiting room, and I now realize how completely retarded that vast majority of music videos are. It's like they have no imagination. Here we'll stick some flying oranges...then a few psychadelic flashes...and a liberal sprinkling of hot babes. And when the singer can't dance, but still tries...so sad. I finally went in to the interview.

It was pretty disappointing. I obviously didn't do well on the tests, as I suspected, cuz I didn't get into Tirgum. What I can do sounds incredibly boring - translating phone conversations or random documents. I'm really thinking I don't want to do it...which leaves me wide open.

Until now I was sure that if I did go to the army, I'd want to do Arabic...now I don't know anymore. Maybe english modiin? Maybe something else completely? Computers or whatever? I don't know. And it's scary because I know I have to decide, and soon. I probably won't go to the army. Sherut leumi is looking good right now. But that means I have to look into that. Do work, research, blergh. I think I have a phobia for accomplishing things.

I'm off to do stuff now - back a la bet noir maybe, play piano. See yotam later :) and watch a movie with naomi et all. And jazz later of course...ttyl. :)
