So yeah. It's Sunday. I'm doing some reading for Buddhism. Things are going well here ... I did a bunch of work today including meeting with another student because we are going to do a class presentation on a Koranic Page on Tuesday. I really dont have much to say ... it was a pretty low key weekend. I saw Lost in Translation on Friday which I thought was an excellent move...really great. Entertaining yet simple and visually and aurally pleasing. And all the shots of Tokyo were cool to see. I babysit tommorow afternoon so I feel like I need to get as much work done now as I possibly can. That's it for me ... catch you later.

Salutations. I'm writing here in an odd chunk of time - Its 630, I just ate dinner, I don't really want to do anything productive right now. For the past few years I have been tutoring at an inner-city Boston high school .. and this year I am running that program. Its my first real leadership job ... ever. I'm just getting it all running tonday - I am giving the first general meeting at 8pm. I'm not too nervous .. another girl is going to help me run the program and the former president will be there too. I think this is a big step for me .. and I'm pretty excited about it. Tommorow I'm going to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts to have a 101 Conference. I'm excited - we're going to take a bus there and then have the meeting. I don't really know anyone in that class so maybe I'll make a friend .. but maybe not. I always liked outings becasue that possibility is always heightened. Mmmmmm not much else is happening. I went to Erik's Bar Mitzvah this weekend which was actually really really fun. The service was nice, the party was nice too... I got to meet a lot of family I didn't know ... and afterwards we went back to their hosue and hung out. We discussed how I am utterly stupid in choosing Art History as my major because it will not earn me a lot of money (apparently thats the most important thing in life ... I guess I forgot) so that sort of angered me. We also discussed gay marriage - oh my GOD. I won't even start. It was sad leaving new york becasue I had to leave all of my family ... it was really too short of a visit. In a way I wish we all shared one room becasue then I would have been able to see my parents more. Well, I won't ramble on too long. Hope all is well everywhere. <3 <3

Salam Salam and good evening to you my dear friends. I just got back from the Ville where I bought some stuff .. nothing big. I DID buy aspirin though - and I feel like there is something bad about aspirin. Like I can't take it on an empty stomach or something .. who knows. Ummmm I had a good but EARLY day today - I opened at El Table so I was up at 730 arrrrrgh. I had beels after (I sit at the front desk of my dorm as ask people to show me their IDs but I usually don't ask) and a meeting. I also had an art history conference. hmmmm this sounds so boring. I did a lot of homework last night (at the library from 7 to 113) so now I feel slightly relieved. I will stillread, maybe work on some other stuff, and maybe start to draft a letter to some landscape arhictects asking for internships. Thats about all I have! I got a valentines present today fron Jess which was 20 truffles from a really famous bakery in San Francisco -- he says that they are famed to be the best in America! Who knows, but they are REALLY good.im off
bye

Yow .. sorry about the three-time posting there. The server was really slow so I kept pressing publish. Things are alright here ... I'm going out to dinner with a bunch of other people tonight to this restaurant called "Dick's Last Resort" The theme I think is tacky decorations and waiters who are rude...but the food is supposed to be good! I bet its like that restaurant in Disney ... Mom's Diner I think its called, at MGM Studios. So yeah, we are all leaving on the 5 o'clock bus to catch 6 o'clock reservations. We're going for Nicole's birthday and I think there are going to be 9 of us ..... so it should be at least interesting. Alright, I'm going to try and do some work before we push off.
Laters!

hey. this is going to be short because its late, im tired, i should be reading but my reading is too dense for me to concentrate.....etc etc. things are ok .. the night was ok until caitlin's friend called to tell her she had an ovary removed that was larger than her uterus becase of a cyst. So caitlin is upset, im upset .. its just horrific. and another friend's parents are being nutty (i had the name written down .. but then i realized anyone could read this ... sorta creepy). here's the deal: she had(has?) as girlfriend and she told her parents. they did NOT approve...at all. So they constantly ask her if shes met boys ..they tell her to go to counseling..they remind her how much this is shaming them .. oh my god what will everyone think of the family type of crap. completely insane. its stressing her out way more than it needs to - she already has school and sports and life to deal with. so they just told her that they, both parents, are coming here this weekend. i guess to make sure shes not gay .. but what if she WERE gay there's nothing they can do stop it. it just really makes me mad becuase it makes her mad. And ... its pointless. she is their child and they should love hre and support her in everything she does .. and not care about what anyone else thinks. wow .. i just ranted. well .. thats about it... to sleep i go

Hi there. I cannot write long because it is already seven and I haven't started any reading. I had one class today and then I babysat for 4 hours - from 1 to 5. They gave me 45 dollars which was generous since It's over 10 an hour. I basically played with JAck (4) and when the girls came home from school they ate and we talked and they just did their homework. Becky was only out of the house for an hour or two so it was alllllllll good. Now I have reading for my two art history classes....ummmm not much else! the kids are SUPER cute and I finally brought my camera to take pictures of them - I hope they come out =) That's about it. I will babysit next Monday too .. so that's cool. Alright, to read I go! Adios muchachos
