So the roommate situation at JHSPH kind of fell through. The girl that I was going to room with found somebody else that she met during visitors week which I obviously could not attend. I am going to contact the other girls that contacted me about roommate situations to see if they have found a roommate yet. Hopefully I will find one or I will just live by myself for a year which is fine - it will just be lonely.

Tonight I am the only one in the house. Everybody else went to an Akon concert. Boo...I do not like Akon and don't feel the need to spend $25 on tickets to see him, seeing as I will make up for that with other concerts I actually want to go to. Since everybody is gone, I rented a movie and plan on vegging out on the couch. The little house is going to Long Street but I really don't feel like going out tonight. I went out on Thursday night and it was fun but more than once in a weekend is a little much for me.

Amanda comes in two weeks! I am so excited!

Today I hung out with Mia and her coworker Lindy, plus her two kids Portia and the little boy whose name I cannot spell. They were so cute! Portia is not Lindy's biological child - Portia is HIV positive and her mother died of AIDS. Lindy used to go and help her Portia's mother (they were homeless) and when Portia's mom died and Portia was in the hospital, Lindy took her in. That woman is so nice and amazing. Taking in a child when you know that they have HIV is amazing, especially since that makes life so much more complicated and expensive. Portia is such a beautiful little girl though - I wanted to take her home. So Mia and I treated them to lunch and bought them presents at Cavendish mall. They were so thankful and had a good time. I am going to miss meeting amazing people like this and I am going to miss Mia, the one person on this trip that understands me.
