Well, life continues to be busy, but at least some things are coming together. I think I will almost certainly be able to graduate on time, which is great. I'm basically doing an independent study in Italian to finish off my language requirement, and I will be eternally grateful to Prof. Lansing for putting this together for me. He's gone out of his way and created a LOT more work for himself, coming up with a whole component to the Dante class just for me. I have to admit, this is something good about Brandeis: they really do make an effort to be accomodating, and they genuinely seem to care. The thing is, I don't much like the student body here, or the unbelievable religious bias, but the school itself really is a good place. I'm glad I've finally realized, even if it did take me till my final semester here to do so. Better late than never, right?
I spent this last weekend at home. There was a big Super Bowl party at the firehouse, so of course I had to go. It actually wound up being very odd. Tucker and I had our first fight on Friday, which sucked. It wasn't anything big, but still, it was no fun. It was awful being upset with each other. And then I just kept getting upset with him. Saturday night he got really drunk, an I HATE being around him when he's like that, so I wasn't happy, and Sunday was weird, too. But we decided it was just because we hadn't had any time at all to ourselves all weekend, and we were both just getting kind of jealous. He had Monday off, so he picked me up in the morning and we spent the whole day together, before he finally took me to the bus station that evening. And it was really, really nice. It really was just what we needed, so now we're back on track.
We had kind of an adventure this weekend. Somehow, when we were all at the firehouse on Saturday night (we're there every day now), Shannon got to talking about sex toys. She was very enthusiastic about them, and somehow convinced all of us girls to go to the porn store! So, the next day, Shannon, Asha, Aylin, and I piled into the car and went off to V.I.P. in Hartford. It was quite the experience. Everybody got a different vibrator, so that we could compare. It was very interesting, so interesting, in fact, that I made Tucker go back there the very next day. Now I have the beginnings of a nice little collection of accessories, which is nice. Anyway, it's time to shower and get to bed, so off I go.
