first of all, i want to wish a very happy birthday to one of my favorite twins.
"hmm," thinks the reader, "how is it that you are twins and yet your birthdays are three days apart?"
very perceptive, young reader, but not quite perceptive enough. we are actually 368 apart in age. it was a tough labor. our mother doesn't like to talk about it.
my own birthday is approaching quite quickly, and for the first time in many years i am not freaking out about turning a year older, which i am pretty proud of myself for. hooray for growth! now i am just a bit worried that it somehow won't feel special. because last year was a pretty amazing birthday. but comparisons are not constructive! my biggest concern is that i can't think of anything i want for my b-day (especially having had such a late hanukkah) so i don't know what to tell my inquiring relatives. equality in education? a better president? a culture of dialogue? a finished application to the ghana program? sadly, i'm not sure my relatives can get me any of these things! what is the difference between inquiring and enquiring?
note: my project report (an excerpt of which was posted last time) is getting close to done, at a current 21 pages. i am not going to post it here, because that is long, but if anyone wants to read it just drop me a comment with your email addy.
i am back at oberlin and feeling optimistic. i hope to get a letter from karina t. soon!
i am listening to a mix i made less than a year ago and it is odd how old it feels. and yet it still packs a powerful punch.

p.s. lis, i don't see what is so embarassing about your story!
