so can you or cant you make up sleep?
On friday i headed to sofia and speant the day in the peace corps office working on a grant that im writing (due wed! thank god i cant wait to be done with it) so i saw lots of pcvs that i hadnt seen in a long time...and it just made me realize how i cant stand the small talk recquired when you see these people you kinda know but not really, so just put me head phones on so i could ignore them and not have to do the "so, how's your site?" routine...nor am in interested in what work theyre doing...so i love headphones, theyre like a shield.
well, i met up with my friends chrissy, stef, & kelsey, (and some newbie B17s, who've been here for about a month now) and we went out to karaoke...it was sooo fun except some bulgo dudes kept stealing the songs we picked and wouldnt give us the mics to sing...that made me angry...
well, i called my friend annie and her and her bf came to the bar and then told us to come to a party with them. we all piled into 3 cabs and fortunately ditched the newbies because one of them was the most annoying girl in the world who didnt pay her share of the bill...they ended up at some other club (dont worry, they were with an aussie dude they were all goo goo over all night that was staying at the hostel...
so we get to the party which was totally fun and were there all night. and then we headed back the hostel and passed out.
the next morning we headed to ONDA, an awesome coffee shop with carmal macchiatos and yummy croissants...and once again ran into the group of B16s that was there...and theyre my group but i really cant stand them. they always go out in giant packs of like 10 and are snobby and fake...so we sit at a separate table and only one of them comes over to say hello and talk with us...man im thankful i rarely see these people...and this whole idea of "forced friends" (a lot of pvcs talk about their friends here, mostly joking but i think it's a stupid idea) people talk about...i think that's a load of BS because my friends in peace corps arent forced, theyre actually my friends...id rather be alone than waste my time with people who i could give two shits about what they have to say. especially when i can just slip on my headphones and listen to good music instead...
so, on sat i went back to blagoevgrad with kelsey and we watched "hotel rwanda" which is really really good and really really sad. and at the end i just sat in the movie theatre sobbing, and the dude was sitting there watching us (me and kelsey) waiting for us to leave so he could shut the door and start cleaning.
i just cant believe what people do to each other...how we treat each other...but then there's one or two like Oscar Schindler, and Paul (in hotel rwanda) are like "this is wrong, i'm not going to allow this to happen" and they fight it. i just wish those people outnumbered the other's.

me too. People need to stand up for one another a lot more. It doesn't even have to be a big fight or anything but doing something as simple as saying, "hey, that's my friend and I don't want to hear you talk shit about them" can go miles :)
Miss you shaina-san! I can't wait until you come back to the states!!!!!!!!
