so my classes are getting better. at least a little more interesting, even if i still don't like them. it's only one semester after all. i think i'm going to study arabic on the side, not as a major or anything, by the way.
i'm so homesick... i email Sawitz back and forth every other day. he keeps me sane, grounded, and focused on what i'm actually doing here. he reminds me of what i need to accomplish, both scholarly and otherwise. for the umpteenth time in the past 2 years, i dont know what i would do without the man.
i went out to this bar the other night with all these people from Cheesecake Factory out here. (for those of you who dont know, i'm still working, but now as a server for the one here in boston.) i got so completely and utterly drunk... i havent done that in ages, and now i remember why i dont drink to excess... ever.
i miss dan... i miss my own room, my blazer, and all the familiarities of home. however, i do like being out on my own for once, and on my own schedule. i decide when to do what... i have my own mailbox, i eat when im hungry... and i dont have to answer to anyone. its motivating to get my ass out of bed everyday.
ive started making the 35 minute walk to and from work every day. i pass through downtown, partly residential (if you can even call the city brownstone apartments "residential"), and across parks, and some random river/wash thing. and in the wintertime, it's all lightly dusted with snow. it's an amazing walk to say the least. scary at night though, so i only walk if it's light, and i take the subway after dark. i'll post some pictures some day.
this is erin, signing off.
