So I'm back home, in the land of trees and thunderstorms, working and going to school. Riding the bus for two hours a day is prety mind numbing, but my super-easy french class is kind of fun in a dorky sort of way. Its the kind where you have to listen to tapes and say the stuff out loud and say pretend dialouges in class. I'm hoping to add a PE class too. 
Today at work the storm made the school flood and I had to deal with at least 10 distressed phone calls about it. Since its only my third day and I havent been briefed on how to handle things and my bosses arent there everything sort of hits my panic button a little.
Still the rain was erally exiting, thunder and ice and all of the great stuff that comes with a torrential downpour
I talked to my family today and it made me miss them, especially my sister who I was sort of starting to really bond with. And not to mention my dear lessthanthree who I spent almost every day with. Alohra called me today from her summer job and just when the gossip was starting to get really good we got cut off (damm cell phones) and I feel bad!
Boy and I are getting used to domestic life together. Life in his old house was so chaotic that this is the first time its really us living together. It's become clear that we have some fundamental differences about how we want our lives to go from day to day, like yestereday we went grocery shopping and I wanted organic eggs and juice "not from concentrate" and suddenly we were arguing about ideals. I like to think that my principles are strong ones (and it really got under my skin to hear him saying he didnt care about processing or DDT or chickens living in cages or any of that) but then I think about how at my parents house even the dish soap is organic, so maybe what we really want is the familiarity of buying the groceries we always had at home, having things the way we know.
I hope we can work it out and I think we will. Despite some grocery differnce things have been really pleasant and happy around here.
Over and out!

I work in a grocery store that is somewhat noted for it's organic and natural foods. It's interesting to see where people draw the line with those type of products.
