Way to have a fun, but terribly unproductive weekend. I think that the big panic yesterday was that I couldn't find any information for the group project we're working on. It turns out that no one else could either. So much work to be done... Arghhh! I think that we'll work it out though.

Time at the library gave way to bar crawl with Jenny, which was awesome. The funny thing I've noticed is that whenever Frank calls me I'm out in some loud place having fun. I guess that that's kind of a good thing, so that I don't seem boring and like I'm waiting at home for him to call. Still, just seems odd to me. So I was at the bar, and a little buzzed, when he called me about last night. I'm not sure about his reaction to that, but oh well.

Anyway, after a couple of bars I had to head home to get ready for the date, and when I left for his place the skies opened up and I basically swam to the metro. Fabulous. Of course by the time I got to Ballston it had stopped. What the hell is up with the weather in this place? I still feel kind of awkward around Frank and I wonder if he notices that. He almost seemed annoyed with me at certain times, and I don't think that my sense of humor went over too well. Of course, I could just be neurotic. I'm feeling rather conflicted because I really like him, but I don't really know him and I'm nervous, so my cynicism is winning out. After always having dated guys I already knew pretty well, this is hard and nerve wracking for me. I think that I just need to relax and rely on the fact that he seems like a sweet guy. I wish that I had closer friends here to have hang out with us, because at this point I've met what basically amounts to his entire frat, and he's really only met Sonali and Lara...the one time. I think that when Kelly comes to visit I'll try to get them together. Maybe dinner...

Today I made an attempt at being cultural and went to a lecture on Islamic art. That could have been a great topic. Unfortunately it was rather uninterestingly done, so I left early and explored the collections a bit. I happened upon a sculpture that I had seen in high school and absolutely loved. I wish I could better articulate the powerful feeling of this sculpture, but I don't have the lexicon for that. I wonder if there's any way to find a reproduction.
