pretty happy franny
haylo ladies.
yup….i am finally in the wonderful city of boston. today is officially a week i call this place home. my apt is beautiful and settled, just need a few more applicances. who knew one would need that thing called a vacuum?!?! so far, my aptmates and i are getting along very well. our personalities are way too similiar. one of them looks identical to dr. caitlin kelly. they pretty much know boston, so having someone to give me directions is also very helpful. (not that that prevents me from getting lost). classes are very interesting. i have to say i am extremely well prepared graduating from Binghamton. in addition to class, i will be intering 11hrs a wk at a preschool, 4 hrs a wk on a project site, and crossing my fingers for a particular graduate assistantship (working in the Career Services Office) that will pay for about 6 credits of my tuition each semester. i have been doing pretty well with the whole cooking situation. thank goodness for my overbearing mother who cooked a whole bunch of things for me to freeze. been mixing it up with a few of my own “dishes”. laura came to visit me friday afternoon on her way home from visiting her cousin. do not listen to the fact that i somewhat got lost, or that i have already tripped and bruised up my knee. i was doing sooo good over the summer! i guess its the academic atmosphere. it was very nice to see her. i miss you guys soo much. being able to have that natural support system and always having some sort of social plans. frank’s friend, courtney is going to boston university, so it was nice to see her the other nite for coffee. last nite, i went out with 2 of my roomates to a club. there were waaayyy too many of “our songs”. “girls just want to have fun” actually gave me goosebumps and teary. well, after the club we hung out with my aptmates’ new boy and his friends. this were the story gets good….franny has actually met a nice jewish boy. (well i am pretty sure he’s jewish). his name is brandon (I LOVE THAT NAME!!). about my height, dirty blond hair, beautiful green eyes, scruffy facial hair. he is a year older than me. graduated from brown university and has been teaching biology and chemistry for 2 years in roxbury high school. (a bad area of boston). we were all a bit tipsy/drunk and i started playing with his cell phone. as an attempt to show him how to use his cell phone, i plugged my number into his phone book. (clever, eh?) he gave me his cell number too. one of his ultimate goals is to fix up the boston public school system. was born and raised in cape cod. once my roomate and her boy started fooling around, brandon and i kissed. he was such a gentleman about where he placed his hands. finally i feel asleep in his arms around 6am. its soo adorable how self-conscious he is about his body. (no reason at all to be). this morning, my tummy felt a little weird (we were at my aptmates’ boys’ apt) so i got up gave him a kiss on the cheek and let him continue sleeping. AAHHHHH!! you can imagine how nuts i am going now wondering if he is going to call or not?!?! i decided i was going to give him till tuesday nite and if i didnt hear from him i would call him on my way home from class at 930 and be like “interested in doing something?”.
everyone please cross your fingers!!
MWAH…lots of hugs and kisses!
