Am I still in grad school?
It seems like the guests will keep pouring in this month. After EricÂÂs visit at the beginning of the month, some friends from Georgetown came up last weekend. What started as one person coming by turned into two, then what seemed like the entire Economics department was visiting. My apartment looked like a slave ship.
Most were just finishing up taking their comps, so they were in the mood to let loose. Mucof thehalcoholll from the New YearÂÂs Eve party was drunk, and the meatloaf I cooked for the week was eaten in a single day. God, IÂÂve forgotten what it was like to be a college student.
So Saturday night I took them to my favorite spots in the Village  RoseÂÂs Turn and the Monster. And we were also able to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, TimeÂÂs Square, and the Meatpacking District. Of course, a good time was had by all. But between the eating, drinking and cramped quarters, five years were taken off my life.
All worth it, of course. But, dear God, IÂÂm glad to be back at work  IÂÂm no good on my own.
Now all I have to do is brace myself for my parents coming in at the end of the month. Hopefully, IÂÂll live through it.
