A Legal Alien

23 February 2007

My friend Angela is getting divorced. She's my friend who cheated on her husband and got pregnant, then had an abortion while I babysat her kids. I feel bad about the situation, but mostly for her husband and not her. That makes me feel guilty for not being a super supportive friend. It's a weird situation. For now, they are amicable and trying to remain friends while raising their kids together. I'm not quite sure what to think.

This has been a long week. I took yesterday off so I could finally get some rest. I slept until noon. My cold seems better today but I'm still coughing quite a bit and feel drained.

I have a job interview in Sacramento tomorrow. We'll see what comes of it.

Tonight, I'm going to a dinner party with Monica at one of her friend's. It should be fun. Wine, food, and just the girls. I made it a goal this last year to make 2 new girlfriends and I'm finding that I've made more than 2! It's a blessing to rebuild my support system here.

That said, I met with my course leader at IOE last week about doing a doctoral programme. If I can afford it, I'd like to get my Ed.D. but I don't know that I can swing it. I'd have to work part time and sell my house, the car, most of my stuff. But it would mean being back in my beloved London, near friends and back into the thick of academia. I like the idea of that.
