Postcard to anywhere but here
I need a job.
and a tan, but not as much.
also need to eat something. That may trump everything right now.
see- this is what summer does to my brain!
on the bright side~ I have orientation for the next two and half days, where, i'm sure, I'll be forced to do the same kind of "EXPLORE THE CITY"/Night Tour/Monument Visiting deal that um... I've done a bazillion times. But it's not so much the excited students coming into town, or the regular bands of tourists- I don't mind the fact that the come to my city and spend their money and then leave! It's how much noise they make, space they take up, and how utterly incompetent, as a general rule, tourists seem to be at navigating not only the tro(it's not the "subway"), but also the gridwork of DC streets. NOT that complicated, unless you are spectacularly late on your way somewhere. In which case.... well- we've all been there.
Also, looking up, I have seen a veritable cornucopia of movies in the last two weeks- catching up, perhaps on the past year(?)
And also- I am 600 pages into a book, thankfully unrelated to school. I can't remember the last time I read a book this leisurely.
So...WHOOOPAAAAA!
(you know, the yell that is traditionally pairing with the lighting of brandy-soaked greek cheese to make saganaki- the flames then being doused by LOTS of lemons? I wish I were in Greektown.)
p.s. I'm trying to get excited about GW, I really am. It's comforting to think that no matter how much planning(applications and testing) we do, things don't always work out.
Or maybe I'm just a cynic.
Who knows.
