Finally Friday

It sounds terrible to say I’ve really looked forward to the weekend, because the week has been awesome, but I’ve been so tired I am really glad to slow down a little. I have a lot of homework this weekend but even that is nice to be able to schedule.
Today was a double-day—I was supposed to be at Heritage until noon… but then my supervisor asked me to help host a mtg and it turned out it was a mtg on Cuba b/t State Dept officials and Hill staffers… a conglomeration of people with influence in different places with the same ideology, goals, and plans for Cuba. It was fascinating, to say the least… kinda like an underground movement…and encouraging to me as well. I ended up staying more b/c it made sense for my State Dept responsibilities, even though it happened to be at Heritage. It was 3pm by the time I got to State so it was a short day there. Catching up on missing the morning mainly.
I have a question that doesn’t pertain to life at all…. Why do people use the phrase “Done in Minutes” or “Ready in Minutes” as if that automatically implies quickly… think about it. My dinner tonight—I’ve sunk to the level of frozen dinners—said “Ready in Minutes”… what, as opposed to HOURS? Who expects a frozen dinner to take hours? I was thinking about this cause I got stalled on the metro AGAIN today… and as usual they announced we would be moving “momentarily” which means NOTHING… as opposed to hourentarily? the word minute generally refers to up to 60 minutes (thought it can mean more oc) and I think its dumb to use it to mean “a few minutes” oh well, no one asked me.
Anyways… that’s all for today. Email me!
