being a karam with a 50% infusion of german blood is really quite the experience. you see, there are certain situations/ridiculous behaviors, ranging from atrocious to fantastic, that karams seem capable of getting themselves into far too often. a few recent examples...
my whole family- parents, sister, and grandparents- deciding to take a cruise around europe with me on my spring break. yayy, wonderfully karam!
the fact that i'm somehow playing with a dashing italian sailor who sends me crazy messages and comes to my apartment to cook me lunch, bring me wine, and clean my entire kitchen? ooh, pretty "karam"!
roughly 3 hours before departure for the airport yesterday, my father (who is by far the MOST clothing obsessed out of our incredibly fashion-driven, slightly materialistic clan) still had yet to pack. or even take out his suitcase....KARAM!
oh wait, or maybe the fact that my sister was denied boarding onto the airplane to come see me yesterday because her passport is beaten up? PRETTY GODDAMN KARAM.
or the fact that she's sitting in philadelphia right now, as it's blizzarding, waiting on an emergency passport renewal? yep...karam.
hmm, that at 3am via skype, from rome i was telling her where to get passport photos taken in philadelphia? and i'm now sitting across the ocean in an utter panic and feeling totally helpless? k-a-r-a-m.
ohhh or maybe the teeny tiny issue that my parents and grandparents have not contacted me or my sister to let us know that they've arrived? or where we should be meeting them tomorrow now that the entire plan has changed? KA-FREAKING-RAM. through and through.
i love my family like nothing else- but it would not hurt us to be a little bit more organized. so this time tomorrow, if all goes according to the latest plan (a constantly changing, never certain, borderline joke for karams) i will be boarding a cruise ship in barcelona with my family. my entire family! in europe! with me! my parents, sister, and incredible grandparents. plus i will have my beautiful polish bride by my side. monica ogonowski-karam.... it is has a beautiful ring to it. LITERALLY MY WHOLE FAMILY! IN EUROPE! :) i will get to celebrate my 21st birthday in MOROCCO with those crazies! someone may fall overboard. luckily, in typical karam style.... we will probably be the culprits and not victims. woops.
in the words of the ever wonderful feist, "it's cool, it's cool to love your family" <3 the past week has been one of the most academically trying and exhausting of my entire life. i am tired, most likely developing an ulcer, and will not be at ease until i am stretched out in the sun alongside my sissy.
on a different note- this will be like the first birthday in 5 years not with kel :( :( :( :( :(
