on october 9, i heard that carrie mae weems is speaking for free. so that's a big perk of working where i do. also, the savannah film festival, which is sponsored by scad starts on october 25 and i think i'm going to try to volunteer for it. there are a couple of other things that i really want to go to but have no one to go with and no way of getting home after dark. sigh... these first couple of months here will be hard.
however, last night i made friends! i work with a guy who also went to simmons and graduated three years ago. he's the head of circulation. one of his co-workers is also new here to scad and she is very nice and invited us both to go to the savannah jazz fest. it was fun and nina simone's daughter performed. she was spectacular! i also had the best garlic shrimp i think i've ever tasted. then, unfortunately, i drank too much and woke up with a headache this morning. that's what happens when you go out when you've been sequestered in your house for too long, i guess.
this is the theatre where the film fest will be and where the major speakers do their thing. and it is right across the street from where i work. i'll be sure when to let you all know when i see fantastic things there :)
i'm trying not to miss boston and my friends and husband too much. sometimes i think that it's good that everyone at work is so friendly, but then again, if they weren't i'd be back in boston already! one day at a time now, guys, one day at a time... one thing is for sure though--we're not in kansas anymore, toto!

It sounds like you've made more friends than I've made in Princeton and you've only been there a week! You're lucky you have such friendly outgoing co-workers. Sounds like you had a great time!
