A brief update...

I have so much to update that the idea of updating is overwhelming...my life has been a whirlwind as of late...


Highlights

--Went away to Petersburgh to see the Norlunds...Rev. J. Mark announced to the church that I was like his fourth child...that made me pretty excited/warm and fuzzy...very exciting to have sleep over girly times with meagan and mel...I missed those girls

---Mel came back to Buffalo with me for the week and while things have changed in the past year that she's been gone, things are still fantastic...I know she thinks that she isn't as necessary anymore and that people have gotten on with their lives but I missed her for the whole year, we might have continued living but it was still weird

--Maikol added me into his top 5 on his cell phone, which he showed me one day at lunch and said it was so that he can call me anytime forever...kind of cute right?

--Mike has been awkward and bizarre for the greater majority of the week...he was a bit better by Thursday and came out with us to Duff's

--Maikol and I were joking around the other day and he asked me if I like him...I had no response of course...I seriously just looked like what and blanked...I couldnt tell if I should give an answer...its difficult to explain the situation

--Ricardo told me the other night that he thinks I have the nicest breasts he has ever seen...I don't know how to respond to that either

--Maikol came over to my place for dinner this week...it was nice we had a big group dinner and he looked at baby pictures that my mom insists on displaying...he made fun of my nudity (as a baby kids...it wasn't that kind of show)

--Maikol told me that he thinks I should work in Buffalo until he gets his PhD and then we'll move to California together...umm that's four years away

--We're also going to NYC over winter break before his Mom comes to visit...this is taking a very semi-permanent direction

School is taking over my life...like I have 0 free time...it sucks...everything is due at one time...and my response to being overwhelmed is to avoid work until the very end...clearly a smart strategy...San Francisco is only 3 days away...then I am presenting my work on measuring attractive urban areas...I might throw up

Tomorrow I am getting my first Spanish lesson from maikol...susannah says its code like "spanish lesson"...we'll see...
