  • i'm back at school, and it feels as though summer never existed. it's hard to believe that just last friday i was at work, editing reports and talking with foreign service officers. i kind of miss the office, but really i miss the people. they were admirable, inspiring, even if i'm not sure that i want to do that work for the rest of my life.


    now school has resumed, and i'm already up to my neck in homework. ah, wheaton professors. they couldn't let us ease back into life here. instead, they had to WHAM hit us over the heads with readings, essays, the works. the presentation of the syllabus is always a little depressing; we hear all at once all that is expected of us for the next eight to sixteen weeks.


    the greatest blessing by far has been having my parents here to help move me into my apartment. they worked SO HARD to help me settle in, and i don't know how i would have done it without them! my roommates and i spent six hours yesterday decorating the apartment. trust me when i say that you wish you lived here. one of my roommates is from togo, the other from the virgin islands, plus my own cross-cultural past. it's a pretty sweet apartment. my parents left this afternoon. rach, i've sent them to you with a beautiful fridge just for you and julie and katie.


    right now, i wish i were on a beach...in the caribbean...heidi, jade, dan, and aaron, i can't wait until the end of the semester! =]

  • who, charisse? she has a car, brand new one at that.  it's nice.  Julianne?  she has a nice pickemup truck.  Me, i have to get insurance first and then yes, shadowfax shall be mine, and together we shall rule the roads. 
    So you didn't even mention wanting to see me.  What's up with that?  I'm not really feeling the love, sarah.

    I miss you too.  ;)

  • Sarah, so you have described this lovely apartment, so can we see pictures so we can picture you there?  Have a blessed start...sorry the profs are so merciless!  love ya, miss ou and the fam!  Renee

  • Sarah we miss you and your familia here at Sonne. I hope all goes well this year. It will be an odd year with no Drakes up the hill. Peace Matt

  • Trust me, neither can I. Neither can I.

  • ah, but you see, you can't do all those implications with me.  I'm no english major or anything like that for goodness sake!  You must be short, sweet, and exact with me.  ...good news though, you're well ahead on things.  you're already plenty sweet.  ;D

  • Your place looks great and you have wonderful roommates.
