bye to the bay

Health insurance woes, makes my eye twitch. I'm still trying to figure out if I would be able to cover Hammad if I needed to--if I count as "staff" then yes, but if I'm just a "student," then I would need to be legally married...i.e. no. Thankfully he just got a job! He is going to work for the American Bar Association's Rule of Law Initiative... if you follow that link I understand one of his duties will be making a better website.

I'm moving to DC on the 14th of August. Hammad, his brother, another friend, and I signed a lease for a townhouse near Gallaudet University/Union Station kind of north of Capitol Hill. For a Georgetown student it might not be the absolute Ideal location (distance-wise), but the price is right and, well, we'll see when I've seen it! Everyone else in the group has been out on location looking at houses, so I'm actually pretty out of the loop as far as that is concerned. It's worth it though to have a place "ready" when I get in. Hammad and I have been in different places for 8 months now, with less than two weeks visit time the whole way through.
So it will be good to see him again, to say the least.

I leave Stanford for good for good on Saturday. The institute has been a good chance to wean myself off slowly. My Lyman sublet was fun, now I'm crashing on someone's floor (the couch already has a crasher) until Saturday.

I hope people are reading this! Well, love~~~ :-)
