hi all (or anyone that actually reads this). i have two weekends left in my GW career. frightening. and one of them will undoubtedly be filled with intense thesis work in addition to finals studying. why keller decided this semester to start actually making us work is beyond me but i consider it a personal insult. my family is coming in 2 and a half weeks and there is so much that needs to be done before that can happen! i still have 7 papers, a thesis and 2 finals. not to mention trying to have fun and work at my new job (yay) all the time. although big news - I FOUND AN APARTMENT! score. it's beautiful and amazing and has a great location and wonderful view. plus it's 865 a month including utilities . . . i am a very lucky girl. it's like a few blocks off from dupont - good times. it's a little walk from the metro, but it's not too bad. plus without hw what else will i have to do with my time? honestly i am very confused as to what one does on a weekend without papers to write or books to read . . . i'm hoping that a lot of sleep is involved. i have to do this journal of my internship experience and i am just avoiding it like the plague. speaking of the plague - apparently in dc every 17 years we have some sort of locust infestation? they come up from the ground and there is vibration involved and loud screeching noises? my roommate caitlin told me about it - it sounds a little shady to me - but apparently this is the summer for the locusts to come out - so get excited . . . i guess that's all for now. adios!

p.s. i hate missing people you don't want to miss at all
