Its… almost 4 AM and im awake.I hate night time when im sick. It allways makes my cold worse. Thankfully it was easy enough to get my nose opened back up and my throat never got too dry in the night so I have a healthy troat. My eutation tubes are starting to itch too, so im hopeing that means they are draining.The long and the short of it is that im tired but I can’t go back to sleep. Atlest not right now. I can thingk and that’s really goos because I didn’t work on my Novel yesterday. Its not like im in danger of faling behind. I mean im a good 4 or 5 days ahead of schedule.but I want to keep up some of my pace. Atleast get the daily count in. 1,667 shouldn’t be hard to knock out while Im here. Ive got myself stationed in the bathroom
because I think I can blow my nose in here as much and as loudly as needed. Plus I feel bad that ive woken up every 5 seconds having to blow and I think im keeping Whitney up She had a bad night last night. I am really proud of her for sticking it out as long as she did. She didn’t want to go to dinner. But it was the fancy dinner night. It was good food, but shes kind of a picky eater and we had some very “high class” kind of food. So I ended up eating most of her dinner. Then was had an after party at Il Sasso. She’s really kind of done with the people here and I can’t say that I blame her. But I was playing waitress so I got to see them all be stupid nd this time it didn’t bother me as much as it made me laugh. Anyway, during dinner Annie gave a VEEERY long speech and as much as I was starting to get annoyed before she started talking because iv’e heard some of the things she writes about and I didn’t know how weird or out of ordere it would be, I was actually moved by some of it. The thing about the people here is that even though they are back stabbing and leturous for the most part they do have a redeaming quality, Ill be it’s a very SMALL quality and its full of holes most times.. but it exists. I think ive learned about people on this trip. I’ve learned that to be trusting is a wonderfull quality and to never loos it. But to be a good judge of character and to know WHO to allow your trust to is an even better one. That the people we meet are invalueable and the people we chose to love and care for are allways part of your soul no matter how stupid and mean they can be. I’ve also learned to appreshiate what I have at home. The beauty of walking into Wallmart or Target at 4 in the morning and being able to 
by a byke or a fish or some cheese or a TV when ever you want. The security of seeing the same people and places every year, every day, every minute. And the peace that comes from sleeping in your own bed, or drinking an entier gallon of chocolate milk. By yourself, because you can. This is a beautiful place and ive learned that there are thousands of places that are beautiful, but they can turn ugly if you arent sharing it with the right people. And I think above all ive learned that experiancing something does not allways mean you trust the people involved. Nor does it mean you shouldn’t experience BECAUSE yu don’t trust the people involed and that of all the people to trust, you should allways have your own back. So I guess along with the clothes and the suviniers ill be packing a truck load of pictures, a box of klenex, a few new friends, a few old friends, 10 weeks of the best time ive had so far and the rest of my live to experience so much more.-Me
P.S: Probably a few rolly pollies as well, just for good meassure.
