Haven’t written in a while so here’s a little update! Things with my friend in New York kind of got weird so I decided that I would move in with my cousin’s best friend and another cousin, thinking that it would be best rather than ruin a perfectly good friendship by moving in together. I took a look at my finances and decided that I wasn’t ready to move just yet but will probably be ready to sign a lease no earlier than Dec. 1st, ideally Jan 1st. The whole arts job seems hopeless so I am temporarily changing tacks and will be applying to pharmaceutical companies where I jave a better chance of getting a job, with my experience, and volunteering at a museum. I, too, ladies am going crazy without contact with all you guys and watching several hours of TV by myself is not nearly as satisfying as when you all are there to laugh, cry and argue with me. Caitlin – going to Cancun! that’s wonderful – take LOTS of pictures and show me only the clean ones!! I am proud of you Frances and how you are becoming child psychologist extraordinaire. Dawn, altough you will not be able to read this until you come out of the trenches, I hope you are meeting lots of new people, especially hard-bodied soldiers! Jen and Laura- I hope your new jobs are going well! Shira – send me a yummy cake!! My keyboard may no longer function due to the excessive drooling I have done over it as I read your entries! I did see 2 seconds of your video. Nicole – WASSSAAAAPP!
