Something more concrete

So, I've recently realized that I tend to wax pretty philosophical on here, but don't give too many details. So here is a short summary of what's new in my life.

School: I am in a Reading French for Theological and Religious Studies Students class. It is awesome. My professor is a monk (who has been kicked out of a few orders for sticking to his guns) and my TA is an awesome doctoral student who knows grammar better than anyone I've ever met. My classmates are hilarious (one kid and I have been talking about maybe starting an improv group, although he didn't really like my idea for the name: Holy Rollers....get it?). I love the campus and I am really enjoying learning French. I think I've missed the classroom so much more than I realized. Studying is refreshing and SO rewarding.

Work: Cafe Zing! hired me to work as a barista/cashier. I love the manager already, she is hilarious and has great tattoos. The Cafe is awesome. They serve mostly local food and have many gluten-free options, which is actually how I found them. I will be working part-time which will compliment my school schedule perfectly.

Social Life: Tonight I'm having a classmate and his wife (?!) over for dinner. I bought fresh veggies at the Farmer's Market and I'm going to make a nice Ratatouille! I guess the whole French thing is really getting to me!

Other than that, I was invited to go on a Bay Harbor Cruise for free tomorrow, so I'm really excited. I won't know anyone there, so it may be weird, but I really couldn't pass it up. And, if I hadn't lost my camera (probably on the T), then I would promise photos. Alas, I will instead mourn my irresponsibility.

Well, that's the long and short of my life right now. Simple. Fun. Lovely.

Miss you all!
