Future

I am apprehensive to continue doing what I am doing because I love what I am doing. I really enjoy my new job and don't really enjoy my class right now. My class is somewhat interesting, but I am not motivated to do the reading and feel that I am short changing myself with this. Johann sent me 46 pages double sided of narrative this weekend, and I need to begin transcribing it, too. I don't want to me ABD... too many people are. I will finish this and do it well.

Esra stood us up for brunch. We sat holding up a perfectly good table for half an hour before giving up, stopped watching the door, and ordered food. $20.00 later we went to Costco. She called later and apologized saying she had taken a painkiller last night and slept until this afternoon. She felt I was short with her on the phone and my negative tone made her think I didn't want to speak with her. Shortly thereafter we got off of the phone. Even here, I have nothing to say about that situation.

We took Dan's cousin Jessie and her boyfriend Teddy to Dersert Ridge last night. We'd never been there and went to Jillian's. It was not that exciting. They were wonderful, but the setting was less than desirable. It was loud and our waitress was a skank, but she was a genuine skank. We played Skee-ball, and couldn't really talk due to the loud music. Jessie will run Jeff's store, and Teddy will look for subbing work, which I will help him find. I remember when we first moved here, and it was something new and a little scary --now here they come. We three enjoyed their company last night.
