What can I say

I will be joining the week-long annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropology tomorrow in Philly—the land of brotherly love. I am extra excited to be getting on the death chamber known as the Chinatown bus (Fun Wah) for 2 ½ hours. Will be praying to the lord baby jesus that we make it there and back in one piece. After a few hours with the nerds, I plan to hop on the metro/cab to Jim’s, home of the best whiz steaks ever! Jim is the king of steaks. I plan on bringing back about four or five steaks for the week. Once I have indulged in the world’s best, I will be going in and out of the lovely shops on South Street—although most of them are sex shops. Ha. This weekend is going to be a much needed escape from the city and all its hoopla. Hopefully I come back refreshed and ready to party the night away with the HS kids in our annual HS reunion.

Yes, besides being the annual AAPA meeting, it is also the annual (or what it seems like monthly) high school reunion. We even have dates for these events. Ha. Whatever it is something to do. Hopefully the whole night won’t be a major bust and I make it back down to the city to enjoy the company of little teach.

Random Catch Up:
It is almost April….which means it is almost May…which means the in-room roommate will soon be gone. YES! Not that I didn’t enjoy him there for the last few months but jeez it’s about time I get my room and privacy back. Lord if I have to hear him chew like that for much longer I am going to explode. Boys are just gross! They smell and need serious hygiene counseling.

Feeling a little disappointed with how things are going with the teacher. Guess it is truly one day at a time. I’m finally getting the ‘new’ relationship feelings, though, which is an awesome sign.

Dinner with Lydia wasn’t too bad. By the end of the night, she did try to convert me to Christianity, though. I, of course, was not having it. I did entertain the idea with her during the train ride, but, like, come on.

Why do the Hasidic Jews in the street seek out other Jews? Isn’t that racist? If you want to convert Jews, then by all means go for it but don’t leave out everyone else too. You should be fair.

Farwell Thoughts:

Oy Vey! It is the end of another grueling week. Hopefully next week will bring lots of clarity and joy. It is after all the beginning of a new month—a spring month, which means spring cleaning. Clean out the closets, the apartment, and your life!
