home again (again)

i didn't post much during exams, for obvious reasons...i was staying away from all computers to avoid even being tempted to do work. it was a good week for some things--sierra's garden party was fun, as was the wonderfully frozen skinny-dipping party shortly thereafter.
i decided to leave early sunday morning to surprise mama and tory at my grandparents' house, and so i did--i left round 9 and got there at noonish...and it was definitely worth it, because mama was super-surprised and happy that i was there. :) noni and gogi were very good at hiding me.
so yes...now i am home. and this week i have done very little. it's quite relaxing, not surprisingly. i got one of my final papers back already! i have been thwarted by various health forms and other university procedures, but other than that my prospects for the summer and the fall are looking good. i am going to miss lots of you mawrters, but at least this time i'll be able to visit a lot more than i could from paris!
i've met some fun people, most of whom are mama's friends who will (i hope) be mine also soon. and we're all mostly getting along at home so far, if only because there is usually only one person here at a time. the cats get very lonely during the long school days!
anyway, this is miraculously boring (is that even possible?) so i will go hide in a corner of my dark and lonely room because no one is home but me and it is dark and scary and dark and lonely and dark. and mostly dark. but mama will be home soon...? i am freaking myself out. meep. and eep. and goodnight, i am going to go call someone who can talk my head back onto my shoulders.
love,
jules
