First off, Congratulations Jess!! I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it, emergencies do end up happening at the most inconvienient times. No worries though, everything has been straightened out, everyone is fine. Things here in Massachusetts at going ok. nothing stellar, but nothing too too terrible either. My summer session ends this week, I have my last Multiculural Ed. class tomorrow (I should be writing my final paper right now, but I’m writing to you guys instead), and then I have my last day of Intro. to Spec. Ed. on thursday (again, probably work I could be doing, but…). The classes didn’t seem too bad, I’m a little worried that this is not what I really want to do, but then, sometimes it just feels right, so I don’t know. I guess I’m wishing that I had some burning passion for a career, but that just hasn’t happened, at least not yet.
I have decided that my living situtation is not really all that I was hoping for, but I can deal until I find something better. It’s not just that I have been living on my own for so long (although I’ll admit that’s probably part of it), but since I’m renting a room in Pam’s townhouse, the communal space isn’t REALLY communal. I’m not really comfortable hanging out in the rest of the house, which kind of sucks. so, I’m thinking of maybe looking into a place with a person from work, or maybe another student. I think it needs to be more on the same level. Plus, the woman whose name the place is in, Pam, is gross. There was a pile of dirt under the dining room table for abount 10 days, and for almost a week of that time, there was a brand new vaccum in an unopened box not three feet from the pile of dirt!! and I keep going to grab a dish or a utensil in the kitchen, and there is “stuff” stuck to them. now, I hate to do the dishes, but when I do them, they are at least CLEAN!
and finally, on the boy front: there is a guy from Binghamton, Scott, who I hear from sporadically and only if I keep making an effort, so I don’t really think it’s worth it. He’s a nice guy, but I met him 2 days before I left… Then there is Brian. he works at EMS with me, he’s really interesting, and smart (finishing up his graduate thesis and applying for med school), and cute, and funny, and just really really great. HOWEVER, I am a terrible and horrible person for liking him because he (a) has a girlfriend, and (b) is one of my supervisors at work. if I ever went for him, I’m pretty sure Satan would visit me and hand me a VIP pass to hell. what’s worse though, is that I contemplate things, like the fact that his girlfriend is moving to Arizona for 5 years in aboutn two weeks, and the fact that people have been known to lie about relationships at work before… see? it’s just plain not smart. so I have to be satisfied with just having a huge and innappropriate crush (I have to be.) Finally, there is Josh. not my Josh who used to live in Binghamton and some of you guys met, but a new guy that I just met through my sister and Matt. They have been friends for a while, I met him at a party on saturday night, and I just sent him an email a little while ago asking him if he would like to go see Spiderman 2 with me. I’m rather nervous about such a bold and daring move from me, but as you guys can see, I think I need to try something. so we’ll see.
I guess that’s about it. I’m hoping that I can find out details about the mini-reunion going on in NYC, and hopefully I will be able to catch up with some of my girls!! Happy upcoming Birthday to Dawn-the-girl (I don’t think I missed it yet, but I really stink at remembering birthdays) and hello to everybody else. I love reading moltenchocolate and seeing what Shira is up to, have I mentioned how proud I am of you, by the way? and wowsers, that was QUITE the colossally bad camping experience, I can’t wait to come visit out west! hee hee. ok, love to everyone and hope things are going well.
