A Brief Post

Sorry guys, I have a lot of work due this week, so I have no real news or interesting thoughts on my experience as of yet. The problem with turning this blog into a traveloque-book is that it would be sooo boring. Of course you guys are interested in it, you KNOW me, but other than that, well, who cares?

Anyways, Spain right now is well, settling around me like the clouds around the mountains, fogging my view of reality. I know the Stock Market is A´plummeting and that everyone has gone CRAZY, but I am here, drinking cafe con leche and worrying about papers. I feel bad being so distant and in such a pricey place. A real brat.

I miss you all and hope everyone is doing okay!!

Also I hope everyone had a wonderful Jewish New Year! Shanah Tovah!

I did not eat apples and honey, but I did eat chocolate for a sweet new year...haha

Just thought i'd say "hi" to you here. Oh-kay Peter Polo :) go do your homework and stuff and we'll patiently wait for your next message - important things first.
Also, you don't have to worry about economy, and it's okay to drink cafe even con leche. We drink coffe here too - some with, some without. Everything is crazier on TV than in real life, where you still have to show up for work (if you have one) and fulfill all your other daily obligations. I personally just hope that this thing will work out somehow. Yes, we don't know what is going to happen tomorrow, but when was the last time we really did?
So it's okay to live your life and even enjoy it a little. Let's focus on it, and put our energy into things we have at least some control over. So go write your essays and write good ones.

Still love you and miss you! :)

Hey Lizka,

Don't get too worried about stock market. Even though it is the biggest drop in points in DOW history, it barely qulified for he 20th biggest percentage points. So we have been through worst situations and came out on top. FYI, I am sure if news in Europe is going to cover it, but today ( the day after big drop) stock market gianed the third biggest single day points in history. Well enough about economy. I'll have a meeting with chief of my project on Thursday, and I think I'll be able to take 1 week vocation in November to come and visit you in Spain together with Jenia. Hopefully I can. So may be I'll see you soon.

Love,

Yout favorite cousin

Hey you!

Haven't talked in a while kiddo! Colbert was joking with Jon Stewart about the Jewish New Year in the time they always do between the Daily Show and Colbert Report :) Also, yeah we are freaking out? but i don't know if I should be freaking out? Oh economy.... I just watch CNN all day and then sit in a corner and cry.
But speaking of news, have you seen the Sarah Palin/Katie Couric interview?! Ok, the actual interview is HILARIOUS, but then on NBC.com you can see Tina Fey and Amy Poelher do the interview for SNL, and it's even hilariouser :) hehe. Good luck on all your work! Midterms seem to be coming up for us too... talk to you later!

Yay Mama Sorokin!

Liz,

I completely second your mother. Why are our parents so smart? And again when did we get to that point in our lives when we realize that they're right about everything?!? Anyway, glad to see that you got over your homesickness. That's always the toughest feeling I think. Screw the economy, until I'm living in a box I'm not going to stress myself out. There's too much to get done! So don't stress about it either!

I'm also enjoying your culture/art/immigration theory thing. Lot's of fun to read.

MORE PICTURES!!!

Love you,
Allison

Hola Liza,

First off I MISS YOU!

Second, I'm gonna have to vote with your dad on this one int hat you could write soemthing valuable out of these posts. Your theory isn't as conveluded as you say it is, and with research could make an awesome Senior Thesis. You could document all the graffiti there and research and make sense of it when you get back. Just a thought.

So next time you go to the cafe, just picture Joanna and I sitting there with you talkign about nonsense.

Hope to talk to you soon!
-Sam

Willingly I accept. An interesting theme, I will take part. Together we can come to a right answer.

It is a pity, that now I can not express - I am late for a meeting. But I will return - I will necessarily write that I think.
