another weekend

so i only have a week left in connecticut. i do not approve. i am sad to leave. i've really enjoyed my time here. i love my job here, i absolutely love living with my roomie, her friends have been amazing, and i'm just having fun. coming to connecticut after leaving ireland was the best decision i've made in a long time. and while i'm excited for dc, i don't want to leave. i guess also part of it is after july 29th i have no idea where life will be taking me. i'm done in dc the 29th... and my 24th birthday is the 30th, so i just hate having absolutely no idea what i'll be doing. i'm applying for teaching jobs like crazy. i've applied to about 40 teaching jobs from north carolina to connecticut and haven't heard anything... so i don't know what plan b/c/d is right now. i have a few ideas, but i don't want to live at home and i want to be somewhere, not 4 months here, 4 months there. i am getting tired of being so temporary.

so it was a fun weekend. the weather was quite nice and i was excited on saturday because i could wear my madras skirt that i bought a month ago from jcrew and it hasn't been warm enough to wear it! friday night was a quieter night, just hung out with a few friends and had a few beers and played wii. well, most of the time i was cuddling with the cutest little kitten ever. and saturday amy and i had a little adventure. we went to the mashantucket pequot museum. it was interesting. in college we both took a colonial cultures class and it was on the early impacts between the colonists and natives. it was one of the best and most thought provoking classes i had in college. and we focused a bit on the pequots, so it was interesting to see their portrayal of themselves. so i enjoyed the museum, though there were parts of the museum i didn't like and their representation is slightly skewed. and then a friend of amy's was in town, so we bbq and wanted to have a chill night.

i just want to point out, i've drank more in the last 2 months i've been in connecticut that i ever have. we don't really mean to.. it just seems we drink one night a week like margarita night or something... and then on the weekend. so saturday night we wanted to make pomegranate martinis. so everyone was over, and 2 martinis led to a lot more... so we were all slightly more tipsy then we planned, but it led to a fun evening where all we could do today was laugh. so i can't complain. i'm gonna miss the random nights hanging out drinking.

and today was quiet, amy and i were up super early considering what time we went to bed. and so we snuggled on the couch and watched wind. a sailing movie based on the americas cup racing. and then i went to the book barn. this amazing used book shop in niantic. i got 15 books! for only 55 dollars. i was quite excited. it is definetely an amazing place, and i could have left with sooo many books!
and then i spent the afternoon re-reading one of my favorite books growing up. the witch of blackbird pond. so that was my weekend. did anyone do anything fun??
