i came, i saw, i conquered!
Hey Chicas,
Glad to hear everyone is doing well, even if certain people are upset with me for wanting my friend to have a romantic New Year’s Eve marriage proposal. Whats wrong with me? What was I thinking?
For those of you who may be confused by the above title, its from a JayZ/Linkin Park song – suprisingly a very good combination. For some strange reason, it seems to describe my mood lately. Even though I am not sure what I have “conquered”. Everything is going pretty good lately. FINALLY finished my applications for September. I cannot believe I am attempting to go back to school. I have applied to City College and Yeshiva University for a Phd degree in Developmental Psychology. Ooooh…….I can smell the loan bills already. It was so awesome to read a BEAUTIFUL recommendation letter from my directors. Never hurts to boost the ego, no?
Things in the men department seem to be EMPTY. I was playing around with a Jewish dating website for a while. Men seem to LOVE my personality, but in the end either I am too tall or they arent comfortable with me being Iranian. Well for now, I say “SCREW THEM!”. (Let’s see how long that lasts?!?!)
Still living at home. Probably forever and ever. Suprisingly it isnt too bad. All my parents ask is that I tell them where I am going and to be home at a decent hour. Lately, most of my fun time has been spent at Caitlin’s apt. I swear I have created an ass print on her couch. We try to keep up the Thursday night tradition and she’s very good about letting me come over and veg w/Sex & the City and a nice cocktail. Hahaha!! I have Caitlin alllllllll tooo myself. I am sure you are all cringing with jealousy. 🙂
Well thats all for now, I promise to keep up with the entries. Shira, what is the name of the city you are moving to in Italy? (I am still cringing with jealousy. :P)
XOXO,
Fran

Frances, you frickin crack me up!! Have you been taking notes about what it’s like to be a Jewish-Iranian girl dating in NYC? Because you could totally make a load of money if you wrote a book about those experiences–or even a collection of short stories!
The name of the town I’m going to is Cherasco and it’s in Piemonte, Italy. Here’s the website for the company I’m working with.

I didn’t know you were planning on going back to school! When will you find out about it? Good Luck! Sorry to hear the man pool is running a little low. But at least you always will know your boobs can get free shots! And i wish you had been right about the romantic proposal!! I am so jealous of you and caitlin gettting to spend so much time together…you should have applied to schools in chicago! miss you tons and good luck with everything!

i wish you had applied to schools and Europe, then maybe we’d get to see each other once in awhile! (I hear they have great public tranportation in europa). There’s still time Franny, I’m sure there are enough hot Italian men in Italy for both of us! Maybe…
