monday: had an interview. after i was done, i walked out with a gut feeling that something was amiss, even though i still can't pinpoint how/why. one thing that set me off, though, was the receptionist at the organization. i had to spell my first name at least 5 times before she got it right on my name tag, which i was willing to forgive b/c let's face it, my name isn't super-common or easy. but then she said that my mother shouldn't have named me "eulalia," and my side-eye kinda went out the window at that point.
oh, and the bears beat green bay and there was much rejoicing.
wednesday: quasi-landlord had an extra ticket, so off we went to see "cyrano de bergerac" at the chicago shakespeare theatre. it was hilarious. i'd tell y'all to go see it, but the play closed today. i was amazed at how much of the plot i remembered from seeing that steve martin movie a bazillion years ago.
thursday: butter cookies from al's deli (they close at 3:30pm, fyi) + isabel wilkerson lecture = happy me. it was weird being back in harris hall for the first time since graduation. crc'ers of a certain age will appreciate the fact that i saw ava greenwell. fun fact i learned from isabel wilkerson's lecture - jesse owens' name is really james cleveland owens. when his family moved north, his new teacher asked his name. he said "j.c.," b/c that was what his family called him. his teacher heard "jesse" and that's what stuck.
sunday: last sunday at work! last bears game of the season that i have to miss b/c of work! exclamation points! woo!
