| greetings from virginia! spent the beginning part of the week in DC and now am laying low in virginia until tomorrow afternoon...then it's back to the district to move into my apartment!!! wahooo. the past week was CRAZY; i stayed with mick for a few nights (enough said), started my fellowship, took care of my puppy (LOVE HER ) celebrated my birthday with old friends and new (including my new roommie natasha!!) and tried not to lose my mind in the process. finally, FINALLY, tomorrow i move into my own place. cannot wait. classes start monday  but i had a nice year-long break from school (and a long weekend this weekend) to get me ready. so here's to graduate school, art history, the countless art history papers i'll be writing and books i'll be reading, tenleytown, the metro, countless (but always cherished) walks with georgette, dog strollers (yes, i have one...it's amazing...took georgette shopping and to lunch in chinatown twice this week), the shalom house (the nickname my family has given the house above my apt.), the white house, smithsonians, shoddy bars in adams morgan and the hot guy tina and i saw there last weekend and all of the cool, crazy things in store.

| definitely prefer writing about REAL news to all of the celeb fluff
i've been assigned lately. (i can't sleep by the way, in case you
noticed the time of this entry...6am). just finished up a piece on dj
am (like my aim screen name! what a coincidence...i didn't mention that
to him nor did i ask anything about his ex nicole richie...i
wanted to though, but somehow "she doesn't seem very bright...how is it
that she's not been hit by a car? hmmm... but i did like the black
dress she wore to that award show!..." just didn't seem appropriate).
now i'm on to a piece on daniel vosovic from project runway. honestly,
i don't listen to much hip-hop (shocker!) and i hardly ever watch TV
unless it's conan....i'm so much less interested in these subjects
(they've--their publicists, rather--been relatively nice, i can't
complain) than religion and culture and social issues i'm used to.
anyways, i've been working like crazy
writing, with the kids, tutoring, and yes, even waitressing. i suppose
it's just a taste of what my first year of grad school will be like.
i move to DC in one month! cannot WAIT!

| yes. it's true. i'm currently working 4 jobs. one of these jobs will go
solely toward supporting georgette. yes, dogs are expensive pets but oh
so worth every dime! the rest of my cash flow will go toward rent for
next year in dc. so in addition to my day job at the boys and girls
club (i get a raise beginning monday!) and my writing for the news
i'm going to be tutoring a little boy in math in the mornings and last
night i started waiting tables (you'll believe it when you see it...me
waiting tables) at this cute little cafe where my little brother is the
cook. so, yeah, my little brother is sort of my boss. it's a very
humbling experience all the way around. i actually really liked last
night...i thought it was fun and the owner is very nice and really
generous. plus, it's a gourmet cafe and there are lots of good things
to eat...my brother made me a sandwich when i got to work last night
and i made myself an oregon chai...my favorite! so, definately not my
calling in life but a good gig for now.

i still miss her very much,
and i cried for days after she died. but she was really suffering
toward the end and i believe she is in a better place. i got georgette
about a week and 1/2 after lucie died. my dad said no more dogs
but i couldn't resist...plus she needed a home and she is adorable. i
actually didn't even know anything about her before i got her except
that she was a beagle. i called the lady who runs the rescue and
told her that i wanted to help out...she said i could foster a beagle.
so i went out to the sticks to meet her and she brought me georgette.
it was honestly love and first sight (as it ALWAYS is with me and my
pets...instant attachment
