Last Day and Mean Girls

Today was my last day working at the State of New Jersey's Divison of Elections. To celebrate, for lunch, I headed over to Rutgers Day in Trenton, where I met up with people from Eagleton for the noontime lunch.

I headed out of the office around 2 pm and met up with Cynthia and Katy to go see Mean Girls. I thought the movie was great! Tina Fey wrote the screenplay, and it was set in the Evanston area of Illinois. Ana Gasteyer, who plays the main character's mom, is an Northwestern University alum. In the movie, the reason they move back to the United States is because her character starts a tenure track position at Northwestern. Go Cats!

Other Evanston/North Shore related tidbits... The girls in the movie to go Old Orchard Shopping Center. (The mall they show in the movie is an indoor mall. Old Orchard is outdoors.) There are mentions of the Walker Bro. Pancake House. This is the best breakfast place I've ever been too. I'm going back on Friday, May 21st in the morning, if anyone's interested.

Best of all, the movie makes a lot of mention of math. Rich, Katy, and Sandrine coach the Princeton Charter school MathCounts team. In the movie, Kadi has to compete on the Mathletes team, coached by Tina Fey. Calculus is fun!

Go see this movie!
