It's ethnic, there's a history of political corruption, the city has seen better days but it's better than it was.

What I was getting (in addition to being a little flip) is that Providence doesn't really have in my opinion a "New England" feel to it.

Historically, Providence was settled by Roger Williams and other religious dissenters who weren't tolerated in the rest of New England. I don't know if that has anything to do with anything.

the subject ones are even better. there aren't many dates. i think like 3 or 4 all year and they can fill up somewhat fast. so make sure when you get to that point you schedule it well in advance. i waited too long and got screwed and had to wait about a half a year to take it again.

i had to go to a high school in the bronx to take mine or i would have had to teach an entirely different subject a few years ago

I don't know, so far everything my friend has said makes it sound very different. He's on the west side which is a lot of young families and what he described as arty people. We'll see, he and his wife live there and love it. Being close to Boston is a good selling point too

finally moved to IE8. About 1000x faster than IE7. Although that probably is just New Install syndrome and in a couple months I'll be back to clicking and waiting.

shake shack opens today down the street from me. i kind of want to go to see what all the fuss is about, but if i go there and i have to wait outside for a burger and a shake, i'm gonna be pissed.

although waiting outside for a little would delay my having to start writing this paper about nafta and immigration.

I have a lot of guilt about the things I do. Especially the last few days.

I am self aware of what I do and have a conscience but I am a huge dickhead.
