Goodbye July
August, here I come!
August is going to be an amazing month. Eli will be on this coast for his surgery and the recovery period will allow for lots of non-rushed hanging out. I'm going to hate seeing him in discomfort, but every time I think about how good he's feeling about getting a new chest I smile and my heart does the cha-cha-cha. when I'm in San Francisco I would really like to visit San Francisco State to try and get a feel for their campus and possibly meet some professors or students from the Human Sexuality Studies grad program. It would be nice to discover a great program so I could be a little closer to having a post-Smith plan, although I haven't even thought about the GRE's. Eli, you up for giving me a few Kaplan test taking tips while you're home?
I'm slowy starting to deal with the reality that I have to pack up my life and move it back to Massachusetts. Damn. It was so nice to have a year off from the hassle of picking up my wordly belongings and relocating them 3,000 miles. The main problem is always shoes and clothes. How many boxes can I afford to ship? Do I bring the sweaters now, or wait for that first really cold fall day to ask my mom to ship them? What sentimental doo-dads to I bring, and which to I leave for safeguarding at home? How can I justify owning so much STUFF!?!
I started the week off in a lovely way, lunch with Meg downtown. I had a gigantic iced tea, and we glimpsed Joe while he was working at the deli. Meg is very high on the list of people I want to know for the rest of my life.
Also, there were good looking men everywhere I looked today, which REALLY made me wish I could transplant the Smith campus and all my Smithies into the middle of downtown Portland. wouldn't that be lovely.
Welcome back to the United States Neil!
