First day (days? considering I time-traveled 10 hours the wrong direction while traveling 24 hours...)back in LA.
I have two things to say:
1. I slept til 2:30pm. It's now 3pm. I'll be back asleep by 4pm because I am exhausted beyond all points of functionality (because 25 hours of travel with delays all around and a ten hour time change after two weeks of six hour nights will do that to you.) Not to mention the rockets, protests, interviews, heat, and abundance of Nescafe instead of real coffee.
2. Hamas and Israel have a ceasefire. Now that I've left. I got the hint guys! (just kidding.) I'm really relieved that the rockets will stop for awhile, although my parents are kind of like, "really? did Hamas need to take that many years off of our lives worrying about you while you were there?" The answer, of course, is yes.
