I am in Boston right now, typing from Zen's dorm, on the fifth story of a building with a great view. Um, there are a million things to say, but here are a few highlights.

-I had a very complicated emotional reaction to my Harvard visit (didn't even take a tour, just wandered), and may have almost felt tears coming up at one point.

MY ZENNY IS COMING TO VISIT ME TOMORROW! It will probably be a very short visit, but YAAAAAAAAY!!! I don't think she intended to surprise me, but it came as a surprise and few things could make me happier. MY ZENNY IS COMING! I must clean this hellhole I call home!

I am trying to see the positive.

1) Nora finally got a bath. And I used the forty-five minute wait in line for said carwash to talk to my beloved dearest Zenny.

Sunday was great. Monday sucked. Today was okay until it sucked.

When I heard Sarah-Jean's voice on her answering machine, I started crying. Then I tried to run away from my roommate and her friend, but there were people everywhere, so I just cried more. Then I called Zen and the second I heard her voice, the crying reached a crescendo, and I ( Read more... )
