so far, so good. B+ in asian studies, pretty good considering i did almost nothing for her class. C in math, pretty fucking awesome, considering i failed two tests, and moreso because i won't need to retake it or anything. B in world at war, which i'm a little upset about, but not enough to make it a big deal. i accidentally left my citations in shorthand on my term paper, and didn't get all the IDs right on the final. i suppose a B is reasonable. No word from european history yet, but i should be hearing from them relatively soon.
mary's home, which is happy. we're leaving for london in less than 24 hours, which is super exciting. unless one of us is suddenly stricken by paralyzing illness in the next 18 hours or so, this is actually happening! super exciting!
otherwise, i don't have to go to christopher morley park, or see any of my coworkers for another like, 2 weeks. this is also exciting (though obviously less so than going to london.)
when i get back i start summer courses, elementary italian and astronomy lab exercises. pray for mojo. after those, i do poetry workshop and american history colonial to civil war, which is a significantly easier, and more fun session. then, come fall semester, i will be taking an early republic class, american jewish history, historical research, oceanography, intro to film and if i can get late registered, intermediate italian.
things look busy for the forseeable future, BUT LONDON TOMMOROW SO IT DOESN'T MATTER

Looks like our old friend the double-B made his/her annual appearance last night.
Manhattan Starbucks Hit by Small Blast
A bomb blast outside a Starbucks coffee shop rattled the early morning Memorial Day quiet of Manhattan's Upper East Side today, shattering windows and triggering the evacuation of 25 apartments.
The coffee shop was closed when the bomb erupted at 3:25 a.m., and there were no reported injuries.
New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the first officers on the scene "found windows blown out of the Starbucks and the chair, the seat that is right outside, shattered." The time of day echoed that of a pattern of unsolved early morning blasts that have occurred outside the British Consulate, the Mexican Consulate and the Armed Forces recruiting booth in Times Square over the past two years.

final papers are all done and handed in. now begins the all-too-short process of studying for finals. In a little over a week mary and i will be leaving for london, which is exciting. when we get back i start summer school, which is not exciting.
hugh is out of jail, tiga refused bail. now evan is in jail, and its looking really bad for him. but i'm trying to stay positive for him.
life is a little strange these past few weeks, i have a lot of awesome stuff coming up, but lots of shitty stuff right now. its all a matter of trudging through the shit to get to the good stuff i guess. i get paid monday, then its only a few more bad things, then london, then mary's home all summer. just need to get through this.
my back hurts.

i'm vaguely sick, and getting sicker by the day. i don't have days off to rest and get better. i'm starting to worry about next year, next semester, my research paper, my credit count, just about everything there is to worry about. i'm worrying about the papers i have to write for this semester, finals, math, etc. my mom is out of town, so watching boomer is all my responsibilty, so waking up at all hours of the night when i've finally fucking fallen asleep after trying so hard to sleep with a sore throat and stuffy nose, to let him out, then staying up and waiting for him to come back in so he doesn't wake the neighbors. on top of this, hugh and tiga were arrested a few days ago. hugh is one of the sweetest people and most dedicated activists i know. tiga, too, is an incredibly dedicated person, and also lived with me for something like 4 months. they're being accused of intimidation, property destruction, theft, and racketeering. so yeah, it's been a rough few days. hopefully some good news is on the horizon. |

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when we kiss
They're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us
Into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
When I am missing you to death
