Wow, blogger.com is now available in Arabic, Hebrew and Persian. Their writing is so beautiful.

My classes start this Tuesday. What, you say, you haven't even started school yet? Yep. I have actually been going to school almost every day this past month to try and get some thesis research done, but all this self-motivation and self-structuring has taken it's toll. I am the kind of person who likes a little bit of a regular schedule because planning how to spend my time takes too much time. I think one afternoon after lunch I spent a whole hour and a half playing Mahjong. Another morning I spent a couple hours organizing my songs on iTunes and downloading some new ones. I read and skimmed a whole issue of National Geographic one day too. Despite all these distractions, I was mildly productive. After a phone call with my advisor (who no longer teaches at WSU) I found out that he is going back to Belize in the beginning of April. That means I need to have my thesis written and defended in about two months. That is a little scary and has lit a small fire under me ... but still a small one at this point. I think I can do it. A lot of what needs to be written down is description of what I did and what I found. Those kinds of things I already know and don't need to to a lot of outside research for.

Alright, enough about that stuff. I saw No Country for Old Men a couple weeks ago. Good movie. Has anyone seen Atonement? There is all this buzz out there about it being such a spectacular movie, but I don't even know what it is about. All I know is that I see emotionally conflicted people in the ads.
