Hurray for four day weeks!

I can't believe its already April! Luckily it has been in the 50s lately, unlike the horrible snow back in Chicago! I think I would die if it snowed again. I just hope I don't fly home to a snowy Easter on Thursday. I just LOVE flight delays!

This past weekend was really fun despite all the money I dropped. Friday night I made calzones (delish!) before going out to Beacon Hill Pub with Chris, Kristen, 315, etc. The place is in Beacon Hill, so its obviously in a gorgeous area, but it is essentially Mary Anne's even more ghetto sister. It's grungy, cash only, has some arcade games, its cramped, dirty bathrooms, etc. I had fun nonetheless - $3 Brubakers are always a good deal.

Saturday morning Chris and I got DDs before I headed downtown to meet up with Mel and our friend Mo who was in from Virginia for the weekend. We did some shopping (I got new sandals) and then hit up the market for fruits, veggies, and fish- $6 for 2lbs of salmon! We made a southwestern themed dinner that night with cilantro-lime-chile-garlic salmon, a mango-corn-blackbean salad, and brown rice. We washed it down with the new UFO White beer which was delicious! Meanwhile we had fresh fruit soaking in rum, peach, schnapps, and ginger ale, which served as our pregame later on.

That night we first headed to Ben and Erin's new place in the North End. It is sweeet and has a roof deck that looks out at skyline. I am sooo pumped to hang out and grill/whatever there over the summer. After that we headed over to Hennessy's - I never want to go there but always end up having fun. Chris and I met the only other gay at the bar and ended up dancing and hanging out with him and his faghags in tow. Chris was blackout again and quite amusing with his dance moves. Made a quick stop at Natalie's for some mozzarella sticks, then went to bed.

Sunday we decided to go to Providence for the day since neither of us had ever been other than driving through it. Parts of the city are gorgeous, namely where Brown is located, the state Capitol building, etc. The whole city had gone over this huge overhaul over the past couple decades, but a large percentage of the population lives below the poverty line. I must say it was a bit sketch around the bus station. We had a good lunch (veal saltimbocca) at a place in their large Italian section, Federal Hill. All in all it was a nice afternoon despite my bleeding feet thanks to being a moron and wearing new sandals out all day.

And as for this week...

Today I work til 2, then teach English at Trinity Catholic. I bought them some peeps and cadbury eggs to teach them about Easter. I'm sure they've already been spoon fed enough Catholic bullshit about it, though. Last week I saw worksheets about how Jesus "revolutionalized" marriage, and questions asking them to describe their ideal spouse, etc. I can only imagine the poor gay kids in class and how awkward that is.

Tomorrow I have class at BU then class at BC. I had a paper due for BU but we got an extension since our last elicitation session didn't record. I'll still need to type up a lil something for tomorrow to hold the prof over. Chris, Mel, and I are hoping to go see 'I love you man' tomorrow night.

Wednesday I just work at BC 11-2, then I'm pretty much free the rest of the day. I'll probably do laundry, get a haircut, and pack for home. Gots to make sure I'm all pretty for Jesus!

Thursday I have class at BU, then head to Logan for my flight home!

That's about it - hopefully I'll hear today if we got the Beacon St. apartment...and maybe fulbright this week?...seriously...
