Every time I wake up I always get a little anxious that I am late for something. Today was labor day: no school, no work, but I still had the urge to jump out of bed as soon as I woke up. And I can't sleep past 8, let alone what day of the week it is.

I have realized that I knew a thing or two in high school, and thats one up what I know now. Sure I was naive, but I was on the right track. Now I am just tainted by the university. It's like the Creation story: I have bit into something that takes away my blissful ignorance. Maybe it's not too bad... I certainly have new goals. The thing is, I have too many goals!

1. spend a year abroad in cairo
2. somehow get in a really good political position by using moderation, and then when I'm "in", make a drastic change to the left. it's the only way.
3. work with Arab countries for mobilization so there is a stronger opposition to the US's support of Israel and military occupations
4. work with the politics of public trans.... more places need good bus systems like SF if we ever want auto emissions to go down
5. freelance photojounalism

I know there are many more that come up every day, but these are all I could think of in five minutes, so that means they must be tops.

By the way, Japanese soaps are far better than their American counterparts. They have young (hot) actors and lots of energy. Why do the soaps and even the novellas all have to be so serious and dramatic??
