A long search followed by a longer conversation with my about the value of the earing, i came up to my room disappointed. 

Although my disappointed turned to rationalization that the earing is only silver cubic zirconium and I OWN it. 

Let’s just say it was not a fun college graduation party when my sister pointed out that one of her 1k diamond studied earring was missing on me. 

I still cringe when i watch that episode of Friends when Rachel loses Monica’s earings which Chandler had given to her for their anniversary. 

Anyway, I AM glad , albeit embarrassed, to say that i found the other pair still in the box.

A lovely surprise indeed.

I realize that i sometimes take that cloud with me to school, when i meet with my Main Squeeze man, and etc….

The problem with “this” cloud, and i say this with a most disdainful taste, renders me speechless.

It’s been an ongoing battle to speak up when i hear someone talk badly or treating unkindly.

It is not easy.

It’s like the abusee accepting the abuser….

I want to speak.

To let out.

Of course she lives there but how often do you know someday that close to you is RIGHT THERE!

I am really glad she is enjoying her time (by the way they got 2 weeks off from school) and i feel it through all the FB updates and video uploads. 

Here is a clip from the streets:  Dancing on the Street

I have to put this on my must list. 

She messaged me today saying she is attending a curling game because it’s the only one she can afford.  I figured it would be difficult to get seats at the other events but i didnt think it would be sooo expensive.

Anyways so i replied saying when did sweeping (aka curling) become a sport? 

I know.  Terrible joke but i am laughing.

I did some undergraduate research at the lab but now i use the lab to study, keep my food in the mini-refrigerator, and friends to choose from.  So now you know why that small gesture by the former professor made me so happy.

Then arriving at the internship, found a cookie waiting for me on desk.  Others included:

Advisor’s advising e-mail.

Nice conversation with the Esthetician.

Food from neightbors.

There were some not-so-nice gestures that i won’t mention but whatever they were lacking it was made up by the nice ones.

Loved it.
