I have so much to remember. I have a beautiful life.

I'm so tired, but I didn't get a chance to update my blog while I was at Loyola today because I was with Neill. (He and I went to Walmart today, and then he took me to Loyola for my meeting with Dr. Henne). I was a little nervous about it because I knew I'd have to speak Spanish, but all-in-all, it went very well! Actually, Dr. Henne will be emailing Kelly Bozman, the coordinator of service learning at Loyola, asking her if she has any information about job placement, or at least somewhere for me to continue practicing my Spanish and helping the Latino community. I may just go back to LatiNOLA once I actually read and draft a grant. So Dr. Henne was very encouraging and we're trying to get an official transcript from U-San Carlos in Xela because the diplomas I returned with were not enough for the departments. Also, Dr. Henne offered to have me teach 20 minutes of his 201 class this fall. I'm pretty excited about that.

After we were done at Loyola, we went to put some stuff in Tulane's arena because Neill needed to put them there. While at Walmart, Hussain called me with some "good" news. The receptionist in the Psych department quit (I believe) so he suggested I ask for the position. He heard from someone in the Chemistry dept because he works there. So, I actually need to write Dr. Brazier right now. I had her for Emotion and Motivation and History and Systems. So that could prove not to be so good for me since she'll know my work ethic. But, it's better than Dr. Hymel; Dr. Brazier is the Chair at the moment, but I think Dr. Hymel normally is, though I don't know where he is right now. 

I had a wonderful evening with Jes (which is continuing now). We forgot that today/yesterday was our anniversary so I called him today and asked if he had a good anniversary. Yesterday he took the day off of work and we ended up going to a movie and doing some grocery shopping. In the evening, I went to Jesse Maxwell's house for our first cooking club, which included one of her friends, who she introduced me to that night. But, this evening I made a steak with a recipe I got from Noemi in Guate. It was pretty good, but I think I should work on it again soon to make it better. 

Our weekend was almost as lovely as the last weekend. Sunday we went to brunch at Surrey's with Andrew and Veronica, followed by North by Northwest at noon, the Prytania Theatre classic movie. Surrey's was delicious and I got the Lox and freshly-squeezed mango juice (that was okay, but not worth the 6$ for the large). Jes got a salmon scrambled egg dish with a side of grits and a biscuit. Veronica got the same, and Andrew got shrimp and grits. It was a nice double date Sunday. Tonight we were supposed to meet Veronica, Andrew, Andrew, Hussain and some of the others for karaoke, but I'm just so tired. I feel bad, but I would be exhausted and Jes has work at 8 tomorrow morning. Tomorrow I need to exercise, clean the house (for our fondue party) and Neill and I are going to see a movie. Transformers maybe since neither of us have seen it, and Jes has. I will be seeing The Proposal or The Ugly Truth with Mia soon (and maybe, but doubtfully Veronica, too.)

Gosh, we've watched so many movies this week.

Sat: Annie and The Nightmare Before Christmas

Sun: North by Northwest (I thought it would be My Fair Lady)

Mon: Public Enemies

Today: The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer (another with Cary Grant)

Tomorrow: probably My Fair Lady and Transformers

and Jes and I want to watch West Side Story soon

I've also been reading My Car in Managua, an interesting journal type account of this professor's grad school days in his field site of Managua, Nica. It reminds me a tiny bit of Guate. 

Well, I'll write more about Saturday and other aspects of the last few days in a while. I'm getting even more tired and I need to write to Dr. Brazier.
