Yesterday, I took our Graduate/Professional Student Association up on thier invitation to atttend a breakfast meeting with local Congressman Mike Doyle to discuss health care reform. This was actually a really nice event- he clarified a lot of the confusion about the healthcare debate, his positions on them and also other things that were currently up for proposal. Being a graduate student meeting, there weren't any ballistically ignorant people there, so it was a very civilized and informative discussion. I was really glad I went.
I am starting a course (my last required class for my whole life if I can help it) at the School of Public health, where I ran into my friend Hui, who I thought had moved to Baltimore- Happy Surprise! I also overheard my classmates talk about being asked to move out of their downtown apartments for the G20- what?! Boy, am I glad I don't live downtown.
At the end of the day, I had harbored enough energy to go out to a new restaurant for dinner, it was an appropriately pretentious French restaurant that mostly served crepes and ambiance in a recently gentrified area. We hung out on their back patio, soaking in the sauces, and crepes and wine like real sophisticates. Pretty great day, all things told.
Also great- packing to go to Spokane! We catch our plane at 7 tonight, so I'll be hugging Nana before bed tonight! Yea!
