crunch time

so i turned in my last project for the quarter last thursday morning, then went straight to the office to work on my proposal. stayed there until 7 at night, then went home and worked on it some more. i had to get a draft out friday, so i was pretty hard-core thursday and into friday...then i completely dropped off. my prof's been really supportive and helpful, so it hasn't been too bad, but...i think i'm burnt out.

i got a very pleasant surprise on friday afternoon - a phone call from cambodia! chantha called, and we spent an hour talking...she's getting remarried this weekend and e-mailed me the week before to invite me. i actually looked into ticket prices...$2000. yeah...but it was soo great to talk to her...i miss her and her family a lot.

it was also elaine's birthday on friday, so i was soooo ready for a break. went to cobras and matadors for tapas with elaine, nari, and esther...yum, yum. then settled on chocolat for dessert - chocolate fondue and souffle...yum, yum, yum. despite the interesting choice of music at that place (seriously, it almost drove us away), we hung around for a few hours - good conversation ranging from politics to plastic surgery...

saturday some westside life groups got together to put an easter event together at the mosaic clinic. egg coloring, plain coloring, face painting, cookie decorating...and doing odd jobs around the clinic...good times.

rested sunday for easter, and have since resumed working on my proposal...this week is gonna be pretty non-stop...
