Girls and automatic weapons

What a great day. Sun is out, the sky is blue, and teenage girls walk around with automatic weapons laughing like they haven't a care in the world. Only Israel!
The beginning of the week was a bit rough. I had a case of the Summertime Blues (to quote The Who), after realizing that everyone outside of this world is running around, going to beaches, having BBQ's and what not. One memory I especially miss is driving around Saratoga Springs with the windows down.
But that's all those are--thoughts. What I'm doing here is incredible. Everyday I grow more than I had in the years prior to coming here. I understand myself better as I dissect my personality and look at areas I want to improve (e.g. my arrogance). And I was getting frustrated (the arrogance) with my studies because I feel like I'm falling behind. What a humbling experience! It's like being born all over again in a sense, because I'm learning a new language and a new way of thinking. I'm seeing the world in a new light--and it's awesome. No drugs needed!
But I'm better now. Back on track.
