1. Today I went with my family to a coffee shop in St. Charles, where I finished reading a book of source documents about the French Revolution for school and my dad and sis talked. After that, we walked around St. Charles. Inside a historic hotel I stepped into to view, I accidentally said "hello, isn't this place beautiful?" to a young woman that I thought was my sister. Oops. We saw some gorgeous condos by the Fox River that I wouldn't mind living in as a second or third home...After St. Charles we drove along the river, going through Geneva, Batavia, Aurora, Montgomery, Plano and Oswego. It was a neat little road trip.
2. Kiaran's in Singapore right now. Actually, given the time change, he's already in Bali. He's there for spring break with his family, visiting family friends in Singapore on the two weekends that they're there and Bali during the week. We're writing little emails to each other daily. It's hard to believe he's so far away.
3. I went to a hookah lounge with Liz on Friday night. We had a great and cultured conversation while smoking peach-flavored tabacco and listening to great Arabic music. That was lots of fun. I was really glad to catch up with Liz, as I miss seeing her more often.
4. Sometime this past week--the days have blurred--I visited Naperville North with Rachel and Tammy. We ran into Meghan and Chris there after turning a corner, which was great. We had the chance to catch up with so many teachers (even if it was only for a few minutes). We were there for almost half a school day, from 11:30 to 3:00-ish. I miss Naperville North--at least the community that I had there--although I'm glad to leave behind the pretentiousness and elitism of the institution (might I venture to say that I'm still an elitist, albeit one who is attempting to shed those attributes).
5. Classes start tomorrow. I have German Conversation and Composition and Intermediate Chinese, plus three hours of working at the library. I'm excited to have a German class after teaching it to myself since June of 2008.
Namaste,
Aditya
