four dates in five days

Thursday: Beers at Amnesia –> Pizza at Mississippi
Saturday: House show at Ryan and Ethan’s
Sunday: Rode bikes to Lloyd Center Cinemas, watched Land of the Dead–>kisses and cuddles at my house until homework couldn’t be avoided
Monday: Burritos at La Bonita
AJ and I are on a roll here. It’s pretty fun. I like the following things about him:
1. He is from Detriot (well, the Detroit area, but still)
2. He has a great name (which under the pseudonym clause of May Whateverith I am unable to share with you- but trust me, it’s cute!)
3. He is so very considerate. He opens a can of Pabst before he hands it to me. Also when we ride bikes he always lets me ride in front if there are cars coming. And he introduces me to people he knows that we run into. (These may seem like small things, but I have dated many men. Good manners are not to be underrated!)
4. He makes good movies.
5. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders (also an underrated trait in the flaky world of art and music).
Today was my first day at my summer internship. I have twenty students who speak Spanish and some English. They are so cool. Jorge and Jesus are clowns, but when I gave them their reading assessments they scored very high. Lupe cried bloody murder after experiencing a running-cramp in PE. Javier looks like a Samoa and finds it impossible to follow directions. The teacher speaks to them almost exclusively in Spanish (which he is not really supposed to do, but whatever). He is very disorganized but sweet. He calls the girls “princesas,” and the boys “dragones.”
I was out of the house this morning at 6:40am. AM!!! Now it is 7pm and I feel like I could go to sleep right now. I still have about 5 hours of homework, so my big, soft bed will have to wait… Sigh. Graduate school is awesome.

    Being from Detroit area (does this mean Grosse Pointe) is a immediate positive?? Please explain. I ain’t hatin’ on Detroit, I just didn’t know that anyone loved people from the Detroit area automatically.

    Matt- I am going to school for teaching.
    Steve- I don’t know, I just don’t meet that many people from Detroit. I have romantic notions of that city, sort of like Buffalo. And old, industrial dinosaur, gasping it’s last breaths in a world that has moved on. Glory days behind it, and all that. Plus it’s kind of a tough guy town, though AJ is no gangster!

    Like the yellow. For a second I read “Javier looks like a Samoa” as “Javier looks like a Samosa” which would have been a funny, albeit strange, description.

    Willow-
    Get used to early mornings, welcome to the world of Education (you’re gonna be great at it)! I’m so impressed with your dating, I need some of that good luck to rub off on me. I seem to only find clowns, and “AJ” (I think thats his pseudo) seems to have great qualities, and you’re right manners are so important and a rare to find. I miss our lunchtime wispers, sigh…at least I still have your blog. I hope you are coming to Poker this saturday. “Oh and by the way, your new blog site is really cool!”
