I'm glad my friend's house out here as internet (it's literally in the middle of nowhere) because I wouldn't want to miss this. After I read this, I was convinced that our congressmen and women celebrate Israel's independence more than our own. But speaking of which I finally got my project paper back. I was doing a project on stereotypes and how media affects bias towards Arabs. For my project I had to flash Arab and American names on the screen (I will not bother explaining the Implicit Attitudes Test, just google it). One of the Arab names I showed was Haifa. If you, like my psych. professor, think it is an Israeli name, I was referencing the Arabic singer Haifa Wehbe. My mind for some reason was not prepared for that one.
I also got a call from the Lebanese embassy telling me that I forgot to send some stuff with my visa. I had forgotten that they do not take check but I also missed one item that confused me. They wanted a self-addressed envelope. At first I was wondering what they expected me to send my stuff in if not an envelope but I just figured they were covering every angle. I missed their intention. Apparently the Consulate General of Lebanon in Detroit needs you to address the return envelope for them. I had always known the Lebanese gov't was dysfunctional but it was only then that I realized how dysfunctional it was.
