It's been a while, huh? Well, ya'll know my deal... always busy. But (and its a big but), my A&P class is over on thursday night! Which means I'll have a bunch more time, which I am really looking forward to. It's so weird to think that I only have two more classes before my final. I've only been in class for 3 weeks after all. I also just learned that this class probably won't count for grad school. Apparently most classes have to be 8 or so credit hours to be considered a full course. This class at NU is only 4 credit hours. To get the full number of credit hours, I would have to take the next semester of A&P at NU, which I am definitely not doing. I figure I'll just take A&P sometime during my next four semesters at Tufts instead of paying extra money. At least Tufts is accepting the class as a natural science credit... even though I don't really need a nat. science credit. Oh well.

Work has been the same. I love that the music library is so laid back, and that I can come in to work whenever I want to. Catering is still going well, Julie and I worked together yesterday for the first time since we started working. It was an even at MIT... not bad. They had this roasted duck hors'devour that looked really good, but they all gone. (Ah, I also passed hors'devours for the first time... it makes your wrist hurt after a while). The food was pretty good too. We started off with a chilled asparagus soup (which I didn't try), followed by some seabass (which was really yum) and three different types of creme brulees for desert (didn't try it either, but heard was really good). Jules and I then helped out this guy Alex with his side work, setting up a room that he was in charge of. We all had a nice chat about music and art and what not (he's a student at the Cleaveland School of Art). Catering is great for two things mainly: (1) The food, (2) the people you get to meet. I think I would continue catering soley for those two things. Oh, and you also get to go to some pretty cool places sometimes, not too bad.

As I'm writing this I'm watching this special on MSNBC about soilders comming back from Iraq who have sustained serious injuries. One of the guys is a double amputee (right arm and leg). Some of their stories are heartbreaking. As I watch the show and their trips through rehab, and keep thinking how much I would love to do that. No, not go through rehab, work with injured soilders being their OT (occupational therapist). The work would be heart wrenching at times, but I think taht it would also be extremely fulfilling. Ah, now they're talking about the psychological effects of war. All of this seems so far removed from my life right now. I can't even imagine what it would be like to be some of these soilders. Some of them seem to old to be going back in to battle... and some of them seem way too young. So sad...

Anyway, I'm heading back to Jersey for a few days after my final is over on thursday night... I'll probably leave really early on friday morning and then come back to boston on tuesday or wednesday. Not really sure about my return date yet. It'll be good to be back home again though. NJ, here I come :)
