Vortex, it's 6 months for me, and I get the same thrill.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
omnis, super-luck-of-all-kinds~ma on your date. As I said, I love the location and idea.
And, now.
Things are getting worse. I wonder what Dov Khanin will have to say about it, I'm gonna hear him speaking on campus soon.
IthisisafreakyuniworldN: seems like my TA is more excited about a paper I'm working on than me. He's actually suggesting me bibliography and almost pushing my gently forward, even though I still have a whole freaking semester to take care of that and test season is just about to happen. Seriously, I want to write it too, but this is a little bit scary, and I'm not very good with not living up to expectations of intellectual awesomeness people have about me. I aim to please.
Which brings me to my next question: again, long shot, but I'm keeping my faith in the 6-degrees-of-interwebs (and will ask again in Natter later, once I'll catch up there): do we know one, James Elwick? The man seems to have an unpublished paper which seems very relevant to paper I'm working on, and I'm trying to get access to. So, that would be great help.
Also, I may have found a way not to die during test season and slaying it by 22/3 (which will slide to the next semester, but only two weeks into it), with few days in the middle of it to rest.
And I'm afraid I'll have to kick out a member of my other board where I'm a mod. This makes me very sad.
Plans for today: pass by Dov Khanin and hear him talk for 5 minutes, study, get out of uni, have lunch with my family in Abu Gush, go to the memorial service for my grandfather's uncle (and hence, skip a class), go back to uni, study some more, get back home, study. And my sister's will be staying at my place tonight, yay!
This is gonna be a long day. Hopefully fun.
Gris - I'm not ignoring your very big question marks and thoughts. Relationships are never to be taken lightly, and I'm, actually, astound everytime I hear that people, around me, real people, are actually succeeding doing so. And I think it's awesome. And I'll think about it, and read carefully what you wrote and then write some things myself, but for now - I wish you nothing but happiness, to the both of you. I can understand your current vibe, and you know - wish I had answers or advices, but not so much.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I don't know if anyone knows him, but there are some folks around here with mad skillz in tracking down papers and journals.
Sorry there's so little else of that in our power to change.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh, I can write him an email - there's an address next to the summery of the paper I'm interested reading - but there's a whole world of difference if that email comes with or without "she's OK" sort-of-seal of "please don't ignore this" approval.
I didn't mean know him in person, you know. Grr, sorry, don't have time to write this post in proper English. Have to go now.

I am such a committment-phobe that the idea of contemplating moving in with someone after only dating them for a month makes my eyes bug out in horror. I mean, sure, maybe idly thinking "Huh, our leases in a year end at the same time, I suppose that might theoretically be convenient", but not, like, SERIOUSLY thinking about it.
But like I said...I'm just almost five months into a relationship. It is already the second longest in-town relationship I've ever had. (I dated someone longer, but she lived in Minnesota while I lived in DC, so most of our relationship was a few weekends plus some IM...it really doesn't count...plus I knew I wanted to break up with her long before I actually got around to it).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh man. Yesterday the temperature was 100F. Today was 110. That's the forecast for tomorrow and Friday too. I hate this weather. (Though at least I'm not on centre court.)
My Dilbert-style boss is down for the day tomorrow. He's at the tennis tomorrow afternoon. He couldn't have picked a better day for it.

By coincidence, I too am currently in my second-longest relationship ever.

Librarian Warlord
Shir, if you want me to write him a note from my official university librarian account asking for a copy of the paper, just let me know. I do that kind of thing all the time for students.
The sidewalks are skating rinks here, the roads are iffy. I have a dr's appt at 9 and the university is opening at 10. No one explained this to the dog, who got up at 6.
Have a great time on your date, omnis.
