and yet more hope arises...

hello! wow! i am finally at the end of a long week and after lunch and a nap i feel like i'm finally coming up for air. how are you all? let me see what hope i can instill in you all. i'll start with the not so good and try to lean toward the good...

so, i was "dumped" last week, but i didn't realize i was even in a relationship. alas, it was the least harsh "break up" i've ever experienced, generally because the basis of tim and my conversation centered around his 14 hour work days, some of which begin at 1 in the morning. so, i'm not taking this one personally, i'm chalking it up to shitty life timing. i talked to him a couple days ago, and it doesn't actually seem like much has changed between us. so that's good right?

i'm finally doing most of my course work, so this is also good, and i'll be in boston this weekend so hopefully i'll actually do things to prepare for next week. i taught my section today, which is still a bit of a struggle for me, but i really like the students and am encouraged by some of their hatred of the capitalist system.

we're having a party this weekend which i am also excited about. i'm trying to encourage some people to crash in our apartment already so that i can cook breakfast for them. can i make smancakes without you all or does that violate some machouse code? maybe i'll just stick with eggs and monkey bread.

so that's about it here. to recap-not much of a love life...work, work, work....the weekend is here.

i miss you all and would give anything to cook you all smancakes sunday morning. but what am i saying? s and a are our smancake cookers. i guess i would give anything to eat their smancakes sunday morning. does that sound dirty? i didn't intend it to.

love, j
