"It's all right to have butterflies in your stomach. Just get them to fly in formation." - Dr. Rob Gilbert

Brain too tired for coherency. Also, no spell check on this computer. Be forwarned.

- Night before - 4 hours sleep. Anxiety! Sweet text from Babo.

- Flight - 10 hours. Sat next to Philipino dude. Very nice. Everyone spent most of the time with their headphones in. Did not sleep much. El Al forgot I was vegan. Did not eat much either. How long will it take Mombo to send a nasty email? *g*

- No customs! Holla.

- Bus ride - 1 hour. Made us fill out forms. Missed most of the view.

- Housing - Gross. Gross, gross, gross and for good measure some more gross. Dude that lives there is naaaaassty. I think the tile is growing stuff. Ew ew ew. Must have Gili take me shopping for animal friendly cleaning supplies. Babo, you think MY dorm was bad? This is a whole other level of disgusting. (I think I live with all dudes!)(And by live with, I mean there's a common area/kitchen we all share, and then everyone has their own bedroom.)(It looks rather like a prison cell. People at the front of campus at least get a view of the Haram al-Sharif. I see the back parking lot, and a lovely set of dumpsters.)

- Going on campus tour/to orientation/potential shopping excursion later. Will see whether my eyes stay open.

- ALSO. NO INTERNET IN MY DORM. I DIE NOW. DIE. This post brought to you by a public terminal. Charlie will feel so abandoned! MUST RECTIFY SOME WAY. (I imagine this involves talking to the nasty dude that lives with us.)(Other dude I met seems nice and clean and potentially not straight. We shall see.)

- Went grocery shopping. Babo will appreciate this: bread, peanut butter, jelly, and grapes. (The hummus wasn't labeled in English! Must get Gili to buy food with me.)

- Gonna go. Gotta pee. More later when brain works.

- Love to all.
