back in Waltham, mass. a year ago i began this deal. so it comes full circle, so to speak. and tomorrow i work for the first time since april. what a summer. really.

it’s great to meet up with my colleagues, to discuss our tans and the weight we’ve all lost, where we’ve moved to, who we’re humping, what we’ve been doing for money, where we’re traveling, make inappropriate jokes about one another, tell inappropriate stories, wrangle for center of attention, behave like a family reunion.

new England is cold and rainy, and i am really happy for it. i am not, however, happy about not having appropriate clothes. yea. last year i sweat my ass off, and now with a suitcase full of cropped pants and sandals, the opposite is happening. i haven’t been cold in a while.

i’m looking forward to this upcoming school year. it’ll be good!
