Sonali's mom is here visiting, and if she doesn't shut up I'm going to smother her in her sleep. She's driving me completely nuts.

Ok, now on to the other stuff. I had a great time last night. I've been seeing this guy I met at a party a few weeks ago, and I think that things are shaping up nicely. I just need to examine my policies on physical intimacy and how best to extract myself from situations without giving him the cold shoulder. So far alcohol has provided a convenient exit strategy. I'd really just like to see him in an atmosphere that doesn't involve drinking. Oh well, we'll see. I'm not going to overthink this.

I'm getting excited about heading home next weekend. I could really use some time back in California, and it seems like there's going to be a lot to do. It'll be a nice escape from my current reality. Even though I've really been enjoying myself the total change in my life has been stressful, and I can't wait to just relax.

I need to be getting serious about school at some point. It just doesn't feel real to me, so I'm not putting much effort into it. Though, I have been doing a better job of keeping up with my reading than usual.

I need to find a way to kill the next few hours without having to listen to Sonali's mom...
