I guess, FINALLY!, my thesis project is going somewhere... I'll do the first test drive tomorrow, to define the finalized route and check out the approximate time. I start liking it. After all the trouble I experienced with the transportation authorities...things are going smoother now. Especially the idea of working with Paul and Jesse is so comforting. (Paul what do you think about the flyer? I only have the front page, yet)

By the way, my cat ran away an hour ago. Actually she didn't run away but just hid in one of the luggages inside the storage place and made us think as if she ran away. She is such a character.

You know what Russian people say about vodka, they say vodka is like truth. You can't drink vodka with your mouth, it is not a playful drink like wine or cocktail, its taste is bitter so you need to swallow quickly, directly with your throat. It burns your throat, just like the truth hurts you, however, the warm feeling coming from your stomach afterwards, makes you feel relax and somewhat happy.

Cheers to that, ha?

Shit!
I forgot that today is my sister's bithday. I forgot to call her... I feel so bad. I missed them a lot. I wish they were all here, or I was there. Shitttt.

Spring Break didn't start good for me. I have terrible period pain. I spent whole day in bed, took millions of pain killers... I finally found the energy to turn on my computer. Agnes (my cat) is sitting on my laptop case and looking into my eyes continuously. I assume she is starving now but there is no cat food at home. I am a terrible cat owner. I like her a lot but I think I am not a very responsible person. And she makes me feel bad by making me think that I am irresponsible. Maybe I should have listened to my mom. She advised me not to get any pets until I finish school but, as always, I did not listen to her.

But I really love Agnes. She is so interesting;
to live with something that does not understand anything I say is so fun. She does whatever she wants. She never thinks what other people (me) will say, she just does. I wish I could be like her. No rules, no social rules, no institutions.
