ohhh it's ridiculously hot! and someone at sfu seems to have decided it'd be fun to torture people by not having air conditioning on in the library. yikes.
sometimes, when i'm at the airport and i have time to spare, i stand and look at the board showing all the flights that are leaving. it's usually more interesting to do this in international than in domestic. anyway, i sit there and think about how cool it would be to just get on a plane going to maui, or london, or any of the other places up there. talking to international students i'm meeting has the same effect. a lot of them come from really cool places, like brazil. what are the places i'd most want to visit? france, new zealand, australia, greece, ireland, scotland...and the list goes on. so cool.
and, what else? i've just started reading "Shake Hands with the Devil", which is really interesting. I guess I started it partly because it was at my grandparents' house and I randomly picked it up, but also because in going to see "Uganda Rising", Tim Hardy's movie project, I realized that I really don't know all that much about what's going on in Uganda. It also seems to be an issue that is starting to get more attention, but, at the same time, not a lot of people know about. so yeah. that's my "good", non-school and non-mindless reading for the time being.
more later!
