Well, I'm back at Cafe Cubano working on a paper and inspired by the sheer amount of posts since I last checked the blog! Not having internet is at least good for having something everytime I get online! Today I had 14 emails, most of them being from J.Crew and Urban tempting me with their "final sales" but nonetheless, I had mail!
This weekend I went up to Harrisonburg with Nichole to see my friend Francesca. We went to this really fun bar called The Artful Dodger which is very urban/hippie, a much appreciated change from the UVA bars. The next morning we went to this fun little breakfast place called The Little Grill Cooperative which had a lot of vegan or Fair Trade products and was really afforadable. I think their website is littlegrillcooperative.com or something like that but I really enjoyed eating there. It's worker owned so we got great service and everyone just seemed to have a great attitude. Coming from someone who does that for a living, it's very hard to keep that attitude for long!
Classes are going well. I just had my first big paper/exam week last week and then midterms are next week. I'm doing alright in all my classes but it's hard knowing that I have to transfer my credits back to Northern Virginia Community College (transfered credit doesn't affect your GPA since it only matters if you pass the class, not how well you did).
I'm still trying to figure out what to do once my lease is up. There are a couple condos that I have looked into buying but that's such a big undertaking. I just hate paying rent. For now I'm planning on staying in Charlottesville but that's just because I can bartend at Timberwood and that's such good experience/money.

John and I can relate to you on the hating paying rent issue, but it sure is nice not having all the upkeep and being able to pick up and leave without finding someone to take your place before you go! Good luck, Abs, in making the decision of where to live next! That can be such a hard choice.
I'm jealous of the vegan restaurant. In the midwest, we're kind of lacking those kind of places. :)
