Esther's kindness

Hello all!
Just poping in here to send a shout out... Today I am feeling blah after kicking it at the bar last night with three friends from class. It was a new group, sort of. Francis, of course, but then an Ethiopian doctor and a Puerto Rican girl who is craazy. It was fun and I learned the roots of the Rastafarians and that in PR they can caucus but not vote. Today I am sitting here with my book open in case of osmosis and Esther knocks on my door. She wants me to come down and hang out with her friends. I lie and say that I am studying. So she gives me this plate of delicious food (the empanada looking things are full of beef and onions) and tells me that she is like my mothers younger sister, trying to take care of me. Isnt that the nicest thing you have ever heard of? I want to do something nice for her when I leave... Suggestions?
Oh, and today I went to the train station and bought tickets on the Thalys to PARIS for when Paul comes (35 days!)
