Hey Ladies,

Can you believe this weekend marks the one year anniversary of our graduation? One year of no Thursday night television and Dick Fast Chick Love!Speaking of Thursday night, did you guys see the Series Finale of Friends? I can’t believe the show is over. I’ll definately be going through signs of withdrawal in September.

Speaking of September…..after some soul searching and problems I was having with my supervisors and program advisors, I have decided not to return back to Northeastern. That means I’ll finish up my summer school and then attend graduation in September and get my masters in Applied Educational Psychology. The rest of my classmates would be going on to get another Masters in School Psychology. It is definately weird realizing I am about to start the real world. Been searching for jobs like crazy and have a few possible leads, but who knows? I have also realized i am only 22, so i have time to truly find myself, right? I have been looking into something called a Child Life Specialist. It involves doing an internship at a hospital and taking a certification exam. Then I would get to work with kids who have been staying at a hospital for a while (chemotherapy, kidney transplant etc). So maybe that will be my new career!?!? Or I could always run away and join the circus as “Franny the Flying Jew”. It will be interesting moving back home after 5 years of being away. Thank goodness Caitlin, Jen, Tracy and Pia live in the area!

Everything else has been going pretty good. I am only taking 2 classes this summer. Plus I am making a little extra cash working with a 10 year old boy with autism. Besides that I am enjoying myself sleeping late and actually doing a little non-school reading. It has definately been a while since I have opened a book and not had a highlighter in the other hand.

On the boy front…..i have been hanging out a few times with my mom’s friend’s son who goes to harvard law school. i am sure i have mentioned him before. we have hung out off and on as we were growing up. his name is david, he is 24, adorable, sweet, funny, and so down to earth. however, he lacks assertiveness so there is some kosher flirting but NOTHING ELSE!! i have half a mind to get him drunk and just go for it. but just my luck, he doesnt drink. i guess i am just going to have to enjoy the flirting. he’s staying in boston for a while, so i am sure we will cross paths later. it will be like a lifetime movie or something. in a few years, we’ll see each other at some function, our eyes will meet, and then he’ll come up to me and confess his love, and how he hasnt been able to get close to any woman in the last few years because he has been thinking about me. (okay, i need to STOP reading the cheesy romance novels).

love and kisses to everyone!
