very full tummy
josh and i jsut went and got lunch at the indian buffet place down the street
very very very very full
i actually hadn't been eating much this week, for various and assundry reasons-- mostly 'cause when i'm tense or lacking of sleep i jsut naturally eat less, and this week has had lots of both.
um, lets see.
monday josh and i went out.
for the record we are probably the two biggest dorks on god's good green earth.
tuesday i went out with ben, after work, and after talking to dr campbell about grad school. it doesn't look like the decision is going to be as easy as first thought. no one at pitt is doing the same research i want to do. no one is doing anything close. so after much discussion, we agreed that what i really want is to be a college prof in some small little college where i can have a broad-based knowledge base and do my research on the side out of interest rather than survival, as would be the case at a large school. so, i need to find a broad-based program in developmental psych, preferrably local-ish. or i could do a lit search and look for anyone doing reserach in gender-identity development in children with indeterminable genetalia and go wherever they're doing it, but since that doesn't exist outside of john hopkins (and no, i don't want to go to med school and no, their opinion on the matter does NOT agree with mine), that option is not really feasible. so, broad-based program it is, which hopefully will be easier to find. fingers are crossed.
wednesday i called reen at lunch, and then had ASL class after work. after that josh and i met up in sqhill.
thursday (yesterday) i walked home at noon (and chatted with sean on the phone as i walked) since hannes was coming and i had a half-day so we could go to the museum, which we did. then we ate at alladin's and watched "Chocolate", which he had not seen. we crashed somewhere between 11 and 1130. after having received very little sleep in the last few days, it was most welcome, let me assure you.
a little before 6am a combination of tremendous thrunderstorms and my alarm clock woke me up, and i was so disoriented i almsot walked in on hannes. i opened the door jsut wide enough for the light to hit my eyeballs causing me to recoil, and then the cognition kicks in and i shut it and ran, appologizing as i crumpled back into bed. poor hannes. :)
so i drove him to the airport, and because of the rain we left really early. well, no on else did, do we made great time-- we got there at 7. i felt bad 'cause i went into the drop off spot instead of the 1hr parking, so i jsut dropped him off. i mean, i didn't have a lot of time to play with regardless, since i had to be back here for work. blech. so, like a good little girl, i came to work. blah.
so right now hannes is probably somewhere over the atlantic flying home to germany, hopefully comfortable and relaxed, dozing or reading.
oh, but on the way to work i called mcq, the realty co, and told them about the downed tree. the tree that stood beside my apartment building and parking lot lost a huge, huge branch in this morning's activities and it fell on three cars in the parking lot, including rach's. i tried to call her, but she didn't answer. she gonna be pissed...
tonight matt's coming for dinner, but since we're both exhausted, i'm thinking its gonna be an early night for both of us, esp since he has a long drive home and i'm spending the night at my parent's. its a yardwork weekend. and i get to take the dog to the vet's (along with a baggie of stool, goodie gumdrops) so next weekend i can take her to the groomers. she always looks so funny nekked.
otherwise, its been a hectic, crazy week, but not a bad one. and this weekend should be much less hectic, with a call to gina (first in 2 years), ellen, lewlew and maybe lizbiz, and a movie (van helsing) with manda the only things on the schedule beside yard work, sable and sleep.
well, maybe i'll jsut sleep next week.
or when i retire (to copy matt).
whichever. :)
