There's a lot to look forward to! In one week there will be cause for celebration, in two weeks training will finish (thank God!) and, in three weeks I'LL BE BACK IN CALIFORNIA (thank God, again)!!! If I could do Scoch's signature dance move right now, I would.
Since my last sad and lonely post, the few truly amazing people around me have helped me get past my little emotional roadblock.
I really appreciate my cohort; we are a dynamic group of passionate teachers-to-be. The fact that we can spend every afternoon together (from 1pm to 6:30pm) and hit up happy hour afterwards is a testament to the bond we've managed to form in a quick four weeks (it's also a testament to our need to unwind). We're a ridiculously convivial group of fellows.

The past couple of days I've had the pleasure of meeting up with friends from California who brought some sunshine with them. It was fun playing tour guide, but I definitely need to educate myself on the places to eat around here. Suggestions, anyone?
Fr. Demo Square
an impromptu friday night jazz performance
central park (of course)
ny philharmonic on the great lawn
my former salsa partna and hot date for the concert :)
now for other thoughts...and more shots
I am blessed with three adorable nephews who really keep me on my toes. They are brutally honest, just like their auntie (e.g. before I left my middle nephew asked, "Auntie, do you watch CSI: NY?" To which I replied, "Yes, I've seen it before." "See? That's one reason why you shouldn't move.").
On Monday my oldest nephew turned 13 and it kills me that I couldn't be there to celebrate this momentous birthday with him. When we spoke on the phone I was suprised to hear that his voice was deeper. He's definitely not a kid anymore and he's definitely got four inches on me now :(
three important boys in my life
When my 3 year old nephew got on the phone he serenaded me with Lupe Fiasco's "Superstar," seriously.
Lately I've been attending mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. This place is gorgeous, but it's kinda weird that the priest welcomes the present congregation and all the catholic listerners who join us via Sirius satellite radio. Also, since this church is on 5th ave. it's kinda weird to see it juxtaposed to the LV and H&M stores.
