Chile o Caliente

Grumpy B has left the building.

Yay.

So I have news to report, but I will do it quickly. I plan on being back in regular blog mode soon.

But first, the updates:

* I finished both my papers and am pretty satisfied with my grades.

* I passed my comprehensive exam even though I really was convinced of my inevitable failure. I am officially done with my MA!

* I graded 16 portfolios and turned in grades this morning (2 hrs before the deadline). I've received one grade complaint so far...we'll see how many more follow. I love how these students get so upset over a B.

* I've been drinking almost every night. Last night included a karaoke excursion. Drunken fun. Apparently grad students have burning desires to channel their inner pop/rock stars. E roped me into singing "One Way or Another" with her. I was intensely embarrassed and gave Katie the come hither finger so she could share in the fun. Love you much!

* Vixen has been up to no good. In the past few days we have gotten manicures and pedicures (the post title is the name of my polish. it's h-o-t hot.) Today we spent a bunch of money shopping. I am a clothes whore.

* Sunshine and I spent a rainy Sunday at the movies. We saw "Art School Confidential." I enjoyed it...she is still deciding on the ending. Funny movie though - I recommend it.

* The big news is that it's date night in the apartment. I have a date with a clever man who has been sending me flirty/witty emails the past few days. Yesterday he closed one of his emails with: "have a great day in your coffee shop. i'll be thinking of you while i stare blankly at my screen and pretend to work. feel free to bother me..." Cute. He's a random person who found me through one of those online networking friend sites. We're meeting for drinks tonight, and I have that nervous excited feeling fluttering around in my stomach. My roommate, H., also has a date with a charming boy she met through a friend of mine out at the Publick House last weekend. Yay for us. I have a cute, flirty top picked out that conveniently matches my newly polished nails. The rain has finally cleared out and it should be a nice night for a date! :o)

* It wouldn't be a blog post without mentioning FP. I have those FP boys wrapped around my finger. Coffee guy was feeding me slices of apples and garlic bread with hummus yesterday. But by "feeding me," I do not mean literally. He just nicely passed some my way. Today Jazz gave me free tea. Yay for perks. Yesterday I gave coffee guy all of my contact info. Ha. Smooth move...now that I'm leaving for the summer. Oops.

Okay, time to shower.

Muah.
