after a few paragraphs, i got tired and listless. laid down on the library sofa, listened to the a youtube vid on how palestines were a made-up, recently created ethnics..well, so said the narrator. fell asleep, woke up 1800, did a few sentences, got fed up, drove up to the mosque for isya which is now at 1832. drove all the way to aoboba thru all those inner city traffic for some vietnamese soup.. the narrow street-cafe place was full to the front door with customers. met 2 of my students eating in there; hope i dont have to examine them. i did attend the 'white coat ceremony' just on wednesday but i couldnt recall their names being called out.
