Shelly says that I must write in paragraphs. I think that I already do this. I will attempt to put some space between my thoughts, but, frankly, Proust didn't so I really don't feel the need either.
Here is a brief summary of my trip to georgetown.
Friday: Arrive 12:42 BWI airport. Attempt to catch bus to take to Green line. This fails because bus is 15 minutes late and I think that I have already missed it, and i therefore leave bus stop and am at supershuttle station when bus actually passes. Am very angry because of this. Take super shuttle and have the smelliest drivers in the word. Behind me sit two southern tourists, I believe the husband is involved politically as he has a meeting with a congressman on tuesday, and president bush may speak at some other meeting he is going to. He is excited about this because the last person that came to speak at this meeting was Regan. I listen to Chopin and read during the trip, trying not to pass out from some rather foul smells.
Arrive at shelly's appartment. Shelly is in class. I am welcomed by Jen who sells me her phone and oyster card at a discount and recounts adventures and advice from the UK. I am very thankful and happy because of this. However, my feet hurt because I have been wearing wedge highhealed shoes. I am stupid. I then wear red flats. This was a giant mistake. Firstly, because they are my sisters and not broken in. Secondly, because they are a size too small. Shelly comes back from class and we frolick for some time. We then meet Lindsay and Meredith and Alex and eat bbq in the southwest quad. I walked there without shoes becuase my feet were by this time dying a slow and painful death. We may or may not have cut the line for food because I was in english class with the griller. I am not quite sure.
Shelly, Mer and Alex then go to an offcampus student housing meeting and learn about proper tras disposal. I do not attend. Instead, I got to visit Christine, Natasha, Becca, Danielle, and Breeana- my floormates from freshman year. LXR now does not allow you to stroll through so I end up chatting with the card for 10 minutes until they get my message and come sign me in. He is from the Congo, where it is very humid and it rains every day, also is brother lives here and he has taken english classes at the university. I visit with them until around 9, then we all reconven and go to see Hairspray at DuPont. We sing rounds of 'row row row your boat' at the bus stop. Lindsay is embarassed. We stop at CVS before we go to the theater and I buy water and Mike and Ikes. I find them refreshing. We watch the movie. I have mixed feelings about it. Everyone else thinks it is awesome. We then return to georgetown and go to sleep promising to reconvene the next day at 12:30.
Day 2
I awaked at 11:40. We are going to be late because I take a shower and shelly and I are slow. Mer is also late, but not as late are we are. Lindsay is nowhere to be seen. We then go to the daily grill to eat breakfast/brunch. I order the bagel thing i like as does shelly, mer gets eggs benedict, alex gets a blt. We discuss our yearly plans. Lindsay comes towards the end of breakfast. She orders salmon eggs benedict. We finish eating and shelly leaves her camera there. Do you not find this suprising (-Shelly)? We then go museuming. We go to the Hirschorn that has a lot of modern art. Water costs $3. I feel i have been gouged. The most amusing part of the museum was the 30 minute video that was a series of, i'm not quite sure how to describe it, like dominos with objects, a ball knocks into a tablewich tips over and moves something else. There was fire and acid in this movie also. After several hours there, where we comment on which sculpters we liked we headed off to lindsay's brithday dinner...
More on that later. I need to sleep now as I'm tired and need to meet Mer and Alex for breakfast with Shelly at 9 at Leo's. Hope you are well, Eleanor.
