May 16. Tuesday.

What I didn’t say yesterday was I spent late into the night trying to figure out how I could watch game 7 of the Boston Celtics NBA playoff game against the Washington Wizards. My translator, Graziana, was even willing to have me come over at2:00 AM to watch the game, which was awfully nice of her, but I knew I would suffer unmercifully if I did that. Then a friend came up with the idea of having her tape the game for me instead. Brilliant! So I ended up watching it at her house at 2:00 in the afternoon today, and did my laundry as well. The Celtics won! A great day all around.

In between those two things I had a one-on-one session with A___, where I think I helped her see something new about dealing with her very gifted child. Another really good part of the day.

Tonight it’s all about packing, as I am being picked up at 7:00 AM.
