On my way again
Tomorrow I leave for Cambridge! I'm going down with my parents and possibly Claire. We'll visit my grandma in Rhode Island and then head up to Cambridge (and maybe also a trip to Trader Joe's -- sesame honey cashews await I hope!)
I really am having trouble believing it's already here. I'm really sad my vacation is ending, but I think it will be good to start something new. It's been lonely at home without Wellesley friends. It's very strange to start someplace completely new. I'm sure I'll see some of you soon and other friends in the area and also I'll hopefully make some new friends. I'm really excited to be back in the city.
I really hope work is ok. I'm worried about how much the workload will be and things like that. I really feel like I have no idea what to expect.
This week has been relaxing, but I ended up doing a lot of errands and I had to take it easy because of my allergies. I did get a few things done - finally sorted out money issues (though I have yet to make a budget because I can't figure out how much I make at all after deductions for taxes and hc since I was given a bunch of different figures...I'll just have to wait and see on that), stained and painted my hoop (I'll post a pic soon and let me know if you need to borrow purple paint!), and slept!
Unfortunately our mail apparently sucks, so I'm still waiting on stuff I won't get for a while. Damn the post office (though right now I can picture Newman putting me on the blacklist;-).
Today I went to friendly's, played tennis (so beautiful out!), and just got back from An Inconvenient Truth - the Al Gore movie. It's really good and I'd recommend watching it. It has some great information and I think tastefully deals with his political failures. Combined with all the recent new reports, this global warming thing may start to keep me up at night. The only slight problem is that Claire and I have the habit of laughing at really corny moments. When Al Gore was talking about the ice caps melting and then showed a polar bear struggling to find land with it's little thrashing paws, we started roaring in laughter. Apparently no on else thought it was funny. There were a number of those moments and I was literally covered in tears from laughing so hard.
Everyone have a great weekend. I'll post later when I'm there and try to get some pictures up. If you in MA, please visit!!!
Love you all!
