Thursdays Are the Best Days

I think Thursdays are grand. AJ, Jess and I get to eat at Sunset with our waiter, Ethan. We like Ethan. He remembers how we like our chip bowl (no bean salsa, extra red salsa) and how I like my margaritas (on the rocks with salt). We're his Thursday Regulars and I have to tell ya, its a pretty sweet group to belong to.

And then this past Thursday we got to attend Emal's Knighting. This means Emal, like Bob, spends a lot of time at the pub, though not nearly as much time nor money as Bob. The most fab thing about a knighting is the names you get to put on their mug. Her's included "The captain is under my desk" and "The frog is trying to eat us" as well as many more that though the language may be fine they express ideas probably unsuitable for this forum. Needless to say they were quite amusing.

Now I've got to tell you about a predicament I am having. Graduation has no real sentimental value for me. I feel kinda guilty about it. My friends start to get broken up about the idea of everyone leaving Boston; not having late nights of board games together; no more knightings; no more living with our fab roomies and no more dependence on Mom & Dad. I enjoy our board game nights, the knightings, Tuesdays at Ts, Sunset Thursdays and all that grand stuff. I do! Its the best! But I have to tell you, I in no way am sad to graduate. This is one gal who is ready to move on like its her job. I don't know if its just that I am sick of anticipating it and want it to be over already or what.

And I'm not worried about keeping in touch with people. This also seems to be a concern among my friends. Why? We have email, IM, facebook (sad though it may be) airplanes and cars. Why wouldn't we be able to keep in touch? No it won't be the SAME but nothing ever is. And thats OK. I've kept in touch with the high school friends I wanted to keep in touch with. I see Melissa a few times a year and talk to her once a week if not more; see Zach a couple times a year; talk to Amy regularly, keep in touch with Pooja and Kali; see Jerry semi-regularly. Heck, I've even become better friends with some people like Stu, Bryant and Josh since I left. Its no big deal. I figure the college friends I want to keep in touch with and visit, I will. Those that are less influential in my life I won't, and that'll be OK too.

So I guess I feel guilty because it probably looks like I don't care about them since there's no sadness about graduating. Maybe I'll become a little sad in say May. But graduating should be exciting. Life changes and its suppose to change. Enjoy it for what it is and then enjoy the next part.

Super Sweet

When I went to Computers in Communication early this morning, I was actaully terrified about how behind I was going to be on my website. HAHA! Though slight behind I was upon arriving; I made stellar progress on it. And I'm pretty pleased with my half done website for The Dugout. You should check it out. http://chodos.bu.edu/lowe

We initiated the little bitties and had our last initiation together. And then we had a fireside with a lot of giggles and a couple tears.

They are such a swell bunch. I love the other old lady deltas in my chapter.

Apt 2 + the Neighbors = War

I know we look really happy here. And we are. How can you not be happy when you are wearing sunglasses and hats at 2am on a Saturday night? You have to be happy, thats all there is to it.

We were not happy after this. The people who live abov us, apt 4, are no longer our friends. Not that they were really friends before but they were mildly respected neighbors. Given that preface, I need to vent.

They had a party last night. OK cool its a Saturday. But the party BEGAN at 1am. Really? Who begins a party at 1am? And their guests buzzed our apartment 3 times between 2a-2:30a. Not a real big fan of that. They also let the party out of their apartment and into the stairwell which was excellent (not). And we believe they were playing the drums at 3am. If this was a one time thing, while I can't say we would have been happy about it, we probably could look past it. But the seriously have parties every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So in conclusion, we are done with them.

That felt good. Thanks for being my sounding board.

And remember, always wear sunglasses and hats inside. It makes life better.

It's On

Its been on -- the never ending job hunt, but the point is, its still on. I wish it were off. Trust me ladies and gentlemen, the MOMENT it is off, I shall have a party and you are invited should you like to attend. With any luck that means you will have to fly to Boston b/c that would suggest that I was able to land a job before graduation. And that would be swell.

So if you could, pray for me please. To the job-hunting gods (they are my personal fav), or to the Guy Upstairs himself, or Budda, or John Stewart. Big Papi Ortiz would be fine too. Pray to whoever it is you pray to -- unless he plays for the Yankees, in which case just stop right there.
