Early morning ramblings, or Why I Should Lean To Read

Up at 5 this morning to study for an exam. On Wednesday. My bad. I thought it was today. At least I always think things are sooner rather than later, and a little bit of early studying isn't going to kill me, though I should probably consider witching to studying for the test that actually is going to kill me.

My parents are coming this weekend, which is oh so lovely. I really do like seeing them, but only for about the first fifteen minutes. Then we run out of things to talk about, which leads to falling back on the classic conversations: grades, finances, whether or not I'm gay, etc. I should have decided to bring a friend on the trip to help diffuse that, but I don't know anyone who would want to go that I would want to come. And I get nervous having people around my parents because I am very specific about what they can and can't know.

Speaking of, I continue to deny that I'm dating anyone, and my mother continues to assume correctly that I'm dating
A. She wants to meet her and have us go to dinner or something. I can see now just how well that will go over.

And in terms of A, we (mostly me) were feeling rather spontaneous and booked a trip to NYC for our one year anniversary. It'll be the first weekend in November. Flights are booked and everything. I just have to tell the family I'm babysitting for that I won't be able to work those days. We definitely are seeing one show (Hairspray) and are hoping to see another. My vote is RENT of course, but we shall see. A is doing most of the planning since she knows the city much better than I, but if anyone has suggestions of things we should definitely do, let me know.
