haylo to all my ladies,

this thursday nite apart thing is just not working for me!! i put my foot down. if my friendship matters in any way, you are going to all drive, fly or find any means of traveling to get to the find land of boston and join me on our once sacred nite!! 🙂 thats pretty much all the tv i get to catch around here. school, internship, and research has gotten to take up all of my time. basically i have to plan EVERYTHING ahead of time. thank goodness i LOVE my classes. they are 2.5 hr classes, and i dont really look at the clock till the last 15 min. my internship is going great! i havent stolen any of the adorable toddlers, so that alone is a great sign. i get to help with play and circle time (i have got “The Wheels on the Bus” and my ABD’s down pact!!). the caretaker stays with the kids and some actually ask me for suggestions. i also get to assist on in home visits/screenings. one of our kids is even persian jewish, which allows me to help my supervisor with the mother’s language barrier. my research project involves testing the effects of literacy intervention on the expressive/receptive skills of toddlers. i basically spend 4 hrs a week at a community health center, teaching families about literacy and then later testing the effects on their kid!! all this power in MY hand?!?! whoa baby. yup, so there is franny’s life in a nutshell. no time for stinky boys. (been told that i am going to have to stay here ALL summer!!) the 2nd year grad students say it gets a little easier next year – THATS when ill meet prince charming!! 🙂

i am so proud of all of us! anyone hear from dawn? i wonder how she is doing in rhode island?

lots of love and kisses!
