finally finished my days of duty at the internet commo center, which just a fancy name for the internete cafe thing. absolutely crazy amounts of people. i feel bad cutting people off after a few minutes since communication w/ their family is minimal. i really lucked out getting in on the internet deal i did. kind of pricy but definitely worth it. the internet lines are insane. the shifts were 12 hours but it flies by since it's so busy. i went on a reading spree in the spare time i had. i read everything i could get my hands on in the room. i finished The Five People You Meet in Heaven, a book i found in a box, an issue of US News cover to cover, also an issue of Time i found, and two week old newspapers. i even read all the papers that people had printed out and left sitting there. I think maybe it was because I thoroughly enjoyed The Five... and I wanted more but there just wasn't anything on hand that would suffice. i'm weird about the way i read books. i'll either sacrifice all the time i have that day to read it entirely through, or i'll read a chapter or so and never pick it up again. i think it's all in whether the beginning captivates me or not. most books have a slower part but the intro needs to be enticing. you gotta sell your product! anyway, enough rambling about books. i hope all of u had a great day. i know schools starting for alot of people right now and i so wish i could join you but that's life. that's all i can think to say. um... take care.
