Suckingham

Many of our friends take part in a Masters of Education program that runs classes every couple of months at Nevada’s school. The program is put on by a university in the States called Framingham. It’s a great opportunity for them but it sort of wrecks our social scene. Every 2 1/2 months they have two weeks of intensive class, 4 nights a week and all day Saturday. So our friends are busy, unavailable and often tired. This week has been the first session of this year and it sucks. That’s why we call it Suckingham. It’s only been two days and I already miss these friends. Our friend Adrienne, specifically, tends to eat dinner with us at least once a week and also is great with Gemma, often willing to babysit or at least entertain while we do some house work. I can’t wait until they are all finished and have those degrees. They’ll be smarter, more employable, and best of all they’ll be available to be our friends again....boo hoo.
