saw a jewelry exhibit at the Walters. want to go back for this photography exhibit that is there until Feb 15. Saw a Franz West exhibit at the BMA that was awesome!! want to go back to see the permanent collection and also there is a small franz kline exhibit. my supervisor says the AVAM is the best, so still need to get down there. saw so much art in Paris, that I think I need a little break.
i would like to be able to play “wagon wheel” with addie either at the 8X10 or at smith this summer
1) a group formed out of the class that is meeting weekly and has met once at my house
2) went to BRJA meeting this Tuesday and saw a movie about “sundown” towns
the trip is definitely in the works. cat’s parents have reserved the hotel room for the first weekend, which also happens to be the weekend right after my internship ends, perfect timing! hopefully i’ll have my thesis done by then too, but that is wishful thinking. i would like to stay through the second weekend, but money will also be an issue…
apart from the holiday parties and a week in france, I have been drinking less, maybe only one night/week. not going out on work nights, and taking it easy. maybe having a glass of red wine after dinner. I haven’t been inclined to spend the money or all the extra calories. The only problem is I need to find other social activities or things to do in the evenings. Things will prob pick up once all of my 5 housemates are back in town.
I just got a membership to the gym at work ($72 for 3 months!) in addition to the one close to home, so no excuses. My goal is to run at least one mile everyday. So far, two days back-to-back. This gym has yoga classes on Tuesday nights that I will start going to also. I plan to ask my college varsity tennis player roomie to start a weekly raquetball date, but dunno if she’ll have the time.

This is a goal that I will never be able to move to the completed column, because it is lifelong. That being said, I have been reading alot of good stuff for my thesis, and will start a 10-wk white privilege group tomorrow night with Addie.
