Upstate

I've been to all of my classes now, and it's quite apparent to me that this will not be an overly taxing six weeks. Two of my classes, menus development and costing, are taught by the same man and are essentially, just an extension of the other. And neither is very difficult. There may be a bit of work, but nothing hard. And the third class, nutrition, seems like it will at least be interesting, even if it is a bit basic.

I have found myself with a good deal of freetime. I haven't found a job yet since they're pretty hard to find between blocks like we are. So I've been doing a lot of sitting around, reading, staring at the walls with Emily. Although Rachel, Emily and I did play a rousing game of Trivial Pursuit, 90's edition. And this weekend we went into the city for Rachel and Nan's co-worker's birthday party and so I could pick up some things that were still at Steve's apartment. Emily and I had lunch with her old roomates, which was loads of fun, got our hair cut, which was badly needed, and watched "Thumbsucker", which was really good. very good even, but not for those of you uncomfortable with r-ratings.

Now we're waiting for john wensel, a guy from Rachel and my class last year, to come over to watch a movie with us.
