| so i've decided that i'll be using both this weblog and facebook to document my trip. for those who do not know, i am at the LAX airport, waiting for my flight to the south pacific. i, along with 25 other students, are going on an off-campus studies program through our college (Carleton College). we'll be studying art in various forms as well as the cultural and ecological environment. this next week we'll traveling in the Cook Islands, staying with a native Maori tribe.
here's to hoping the rest of this trip will be better than these first 10 hours. for some reason, i have a problem with security. nothing horrible, i admit, but this past summer, i forgot i had a pocketknife in my bag, and they confiscated it. my fault, i admit. this time, when going thru msp, i got pulled over...supposedly, the xray machine said my backpack had a lighter in it; i was confused, i've never owned a lighter in my life.....after, like, 20 minutes of searching, the guy pulls out a lighter...it was the one i'd borrowed to light one of my floormate's bday cakes....ok, so i'm doing fine, i can handle this, and then i get to lax, and the guy at the ticket counter cant understand that i dont have an official paperwork, and that my visa was supposed to be on my passport code; he nearly doesnt give me a boarding pass.....i'm thinking its all over, i'm good to go, i mean like, i've already been thru security in one airport, so i go thru and my BELT sets off the metal detection thing! i get pulled aside, get the black beeping stick thing, get patted down, the whole shebang. i mean like, what more could happen?!? dont answer that.

| So i'm trying my hand at this "xanga" thing....a couple of my friends have it, so i'm thinking, why not? i'm always up to something new. if anything, maybe this will give me a space to vent. i'll probably end up forgetting about this, and not being very regular in my entries; i havent started a journal yet thats been kept up to date.
i gave blood today, bad idea, i feel like i'm going to faint right now. usually doesnt affect me like this. i must have been low on sleep anyway or something. hopefully i'll feel better when i wake up tomorrow.
current mood: faint, a little dizzy, sleepy, unemotional
