i did some things today

today i did some things. or was it yesterday? i can't figure it out. anywho. today i flew to israel on a plane that had a mechanical problem and grounded us for an hour and forty minutes before take off.

today i spent about 12 hours crammed in a little seat in the absolute middle of a huge aeroplane with no place to go.

today i actually peed in an airplane bathroom because my mom made me promise i would because she knows i would kill myself holding it rather than pee in one of those things.

today i ate airplane chicken because i was too wimpy to ask if i had indeed ordered a vegetarian meal.

today my forehead broke out profusely. i swear that if i am different air than what i am used to it will do that. dang sensitive skin.

today i had to get over my pride and just suck it up and do something even though it was embarrassing.

today i got dehydrated because i always forget/intentionally to drink water when i travel because i don't want to have to pee. but this time when i was dying of thirst, the stewardesses were very thrifty with the water.

today i started to pray about people replying to me about being an sm when the plane started to shake really bad and i realized it didn't matter if they responded or not if i were dead.

today i watched the sun set and then rise two hours later.

today i flew over england, france, italy, greece, and cyprus. too bad i couldn't actually stop at any of those places.

today i looked out of a plane window and caught a glimpse of half mediterranean sea and half coastline of israel. epic moment.

today i started to fall in love with israel immediately.

today i already saw some pretty cool things, and am currently residing on the sea of galilee.

today i watched a soccer game in arabic.

today i realized that a lot of israeli boys are really cute. *wicked grin *

today i realized that i can bond with people i don't know.

today i ate a fresh date and realized that i like dried ones better.

today i realized that i can do ok in a foreign country.

today i realized how dead tired a person can be.

today i can't wrap my mind around the fact that as i am writing this, it is like 9:15 in the evening and back where all my friends are, it is 11:00 in the morning. their day is just beginning as mine is about to close.

i have been busy today. it has been a long day. something around 30 odd hours i have been up. it is time to do something about that. i am here friends. and i love it.
