Ever get home tonight
Wow. I am, apparently, very boring. Either that, or no one wants to talk to me anymore.
Then again, I've been pretty remiss at actually calling people lately--if I owe you a phone call or an email... it'll come eventually!
Only two more Lourenzo days, which is really weird, and I don't think has sunk in. Right now, I'm just relieved that I don't have to try and juggle classes around his school schedule anymore--I haven't actually thought about what it'll mean that I won't be babysitting. That's really weird to think of.
I survived my first Financial Management class at 8:30 a.m., and it should be okay, because the prof has no text, no final, one assignment, and has never given a grade lower than an A in 12 years of teaching the class. So--yeah. It should be fine. It's all about budgets: Income, Cash Flow, and Expenses, and how to actually apply them. You all wanted to know that, right? ;o)
You know how I was talking about these two performances a week that we're supposed to go to? If it wasn't for the fact that I haven't been able to do them yet (so my first two will be from shows I've seen in the past month or so--which is totally allowed), I think I wouldn't be so overwhelmed by the idea. It's like Artist Dates in Creativity Tutorial--it'll force us to keep the artistic side of things flowing, even while we're in the middle of all these logistical things. It's actually somewhat of a lifesaver, so... yeah. It'll be good.
Okay--can I talk about anything but school? Sometime this summer, I want to have a games night or something with people from church--do it as an "invite everyone, church-wide event" kind of thing--at my house. With no one else there, it's perfect. The main floor (for the 4 of you who have actually seen my house) is great for that, right? Set up games in the first 2 rooms, a movie in the third, food in the back, and it can still be open all the way through... it's just a great set-up for something like that.
Oh! This is kinda cool, in defense of my becoming a part of the online Gilmore Girls community. One of the girls on there is doing her masters in Media Studies or something like that, and last night, she gave us part of her proposal for her thesis, which will (in some ways) actually focus on TWoP:
I am particularly interested in the relationship between television programs and the Internet in relation to women building relationships with each other. Technology has given the ability for people to watch a program and instantly go online and talk about it with others. This is especially prevalent in television programs focusing on the relationships between women, such as Desperate Housewives and Gilmore Girls. These programs that examine the relationships between women have led women on the Internet to form similar relationships. Women can speculate, analyze and be their own critics. However, on these forums, it is not just about the television program anymore. Relationships are created between these online identities and suddenly the forums become an extended family helping each other out in ways beyond the television program.
So... yeah. She said it so much better than I did a while ago, but it's the same idea.
Okay, off to write reviews of The Three Musketeers and Children of a Lesser God now.

Yes, your house should work well for a gathering like that I (one of the four) can just picture it! How is the kitchen progress coming??
Will you have any "farewell" with Lourenzo, or will you just say good-bye and that's it?
Glad your classes are going well--learn as much as you can! (Sounds like a mother speaking, esp. one who is financially invested!)
Love,
Mom
I agree with your mom - your house would be perfect for something like that.
It feels so cool to actually be a part of an exclusive Alida-related group - usually all I feel is "I-want-to-move-to-Calgary". :)
