So I'm trapped on campus for the weekend and thought I'd do the good thing and write a post. I'm sorry to say I'm not very good at this keeping in touch thing. In fact, I rather suck at it. So give me a call, I'm never doing anything really worth mentioning, and I'll appreciate it lots. But just because I haven't spoken to many of you since the end of the year doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you guys all the time. You've all managed to infiltrate my dreams at one point or another, and I have some pretty weird ass dreams... but that is beside the point.
When I'm not at work or hanging out with all the people here, I'm lying around wondering if it could possibly get any hotter and if it would be ok to walk around in my bra and underwear. I usually end up watching crap tv or saying "puerto rican" or "perro" over and over again to try to convince my tongue that it can roll Rs if it just tries hard enough. But when I am hanging out with people (people being, in no particular order: Natalie, Seb, Kristin, Nate, Katy, Fred, Cornelius, Brian, Ellen, Peter, Sara Jay (until she left), Kerry, and Brendan, my fellow intern), we have a lot of fun. I've watched way too many movies, but I don't know that this is a problem. We are going to try and watch in Olin tonight, and maybe have a sleepover in Blaustein because it has air conditioning.
Work is good. Gerardo, my supervisor, wasn't here this week bacause he went to some kind of sculpture contest in Philly. It was kind of nice, because that meant that Jordan got to be more involved, and he doesn't mind teaching me and Brendan things or answering our questions. Nice to have someone you know at work who actually knows what he is doing. Heh, I just realized you all have no idea what work is at this point, since I haven't told you. Basically, we are working on this pilot for an animated television show about, I kid you not, dinosaurs who ride motorcyles. It's kind of a slightly unoriginal mix of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, and maybe a little Captain Planet thrown in for educational purposes. We all laugh about it, but it has been a lot of fun to work on. They've given us a ton more responsibility than I would have thought they would, so if you ever get to see the show, I'll be able to point out our work everywhere. We also stayed late Thursday to work on this music video, and got to know people in other departments. I am incredibly jealous that they get to use the kind of equipment they do. SO COOL. I've also discovered there is a pool on the facilities, so you know I will be there a lot.
Anyhow, it's hot, and I'm lazy, and I promised I wouldn't write a novel on this. Just enough to pique your interest so then you'd all call me. Seriously, call. I get crap reception, though, so room phone would be better, X4846. I'm not doing anything. And if I am, I won't pick up. Miss you all and hope things get less boring.
Love,
Amanda

Hey, Good to hear Sonalyst rocks. Hope the dinosaurs and nurbs are treating you alright, and Brendan is keeping up his end of the work. You're right that calls are great, but its the kind of great that's only actualized in its excecution, making a call always seems silly until it happens. While looking forward to calls I think you had a great idea to get the next best thing and start this blog. If it gets too hot, just go drink enough water till you feel woozy and pass out, maybe it will be cooler when you wake up.
Yeah, I didn't mean to put that much emphasis on the whole calling thing.
amanda too! your job sounds awesome! did you get to sleep over in blaustein? that would be so cool! it has been sweltering here too, but it's finally beginning to cool down, so I hope it gets better there too! definitely talk soon--a
