School's back in sucker!

Yes, today was the first day of class for my second year as a graduate student- oh boy! My weekend was filled with pre-school parties and my best friend came to visit from Indianapolis. Friday I partied with English grad students (grad parties are not quite as wild as the undergrad, to say the least- I think there was even a baby at this one). The next night was an early 90's/late 80's party. Everyone was suppose to dress up, only my friend and I were the only ones to do so. I had on some nice high waisted jeans (pinched cuffed, of course) and my friend looked a lot like Blossom. It was slightly embarassing to go to a bar before the party, but it was more fun than not. The next night, Sunday, was filled with more parties, bars and friends.

As for an update on the pervy professor from the Vietnam trip- well, no one from our group has been able to get into contact with my room mate (which isn't all to odd because she was starting her clinicals in nursing school this year, so I'm sure she's really busy). Our plan was to NOT turn in our assigned journal in protest to his harassment, but that has begun to fall through. The others are breaking down and are going to turn one in. I was also suppose to go visit most of them in Sandusky, Ohio, but then again I would be staying with my room mate, who no one has heard from yet.

This year I'm working for my school (aka School of International Affairs) at the front desk for my scholarship. I think I'll like it better than working for a professor like I did last year, simply due to the fact that I have a set schedule. No longer will I get some random e-mail or phone call telling me to pick up a book at the library or to meet someone, somewhere for something. Not that working for the professor was interesting and all- I just don't think being "on call" is for me.
