geez family, I must really love you if I am taking the time to write this now.

My day began with chinese class at 11 am where my teacher dropped the bomb on exactly how much was on this quiz that we have tomorrow....including the writing of 32 characters that we went over for the first time today. Matt (my friend in the class and I) looked at each other and cried inside a little.
Then I went to socialist theory where crazy bertrand ollman (my professor) discussed socialism. good stuff.
then lunch with some friends at the awesome nyu dining hall (I had a salad mom!!).

then i bought groceries like milk and cereal because SOMEONE has been eating mine...
then came home, studied chinese, talked to kelly, etc.
I went running. I ran around the financial area a little bit...then down to the west side highway and across to 12th street and back. a little over three miles followed by some crunches. i really liked running by the hudson...it is very pretty at night.

Just so you aren't worried mom...I made a three-egg white omelet for dinner with tomatoes, cheese, and olives and three vegetarian chicken fingers on the side. Lots of iron and protein.
My friend Matt (who lives on the 11th floor) came down and we just reviewed some chinese and now I'm getting ready to memorize the characters. exciting right!

Tomorrow afternoon I am trying to get to an advance screening of HOW TO RECOGNIZE YOUR SAINTS at nyu and then shooting for a lot of the night with my friend Roman who reserved a sweet studio at school of visual arts (which he attends).

Danielle gave me a good talk about BEING A DOBIN while she was here which I'm sure would have inspired all of you as much as it inspired me (thanks danielle) and...today I did!
You would have been proud Danielle (if she ever puts down Jamie/a building and reads this).

ok love you guys tons...now to the chinese.
