i love my friends!!
so i went to college station for the weekend and had a great time as expected. got to see a lot of people i hadnt seen in forever and catch up which was really great. it seemed like a busy weekend and went by so fast and it was hard to leave. but here i am...back at work...another boring day...but heres a recap of the weekend of events...
i got in around dinner time on friday...made a stop into heb to get some cash...didnt have any good memories from that place although i did get to see my friend adam who was my favorite person to work with so that was good. then went to dinner at wings n more with the fairview boys minus rielly bc he was on a date...or formal..whatever. that was a lot of fun. mike and i made a little deal...if the sixers go all the way then he has to take me out to dinner...if the mavs go all the way then i have to buy him dinner. it was a safe bet bc the likelihood of either happening isnt likely...but say it does...looks like mike and i will be going on a date - that could be interesting...(in a good way mike, bc you know you're my pick out of the 3 ;)
saturday i ate lunch at square one with jaclyn which was fun as always. i spent a lot of the afternoon back at the boys house watching the draft/sixers-pistons game/mavs-rockets game. sadly the sixers lost..and to mike and peeples' dismay so did the mavs. heres an entertaining story - mikes friend amanda discovered that i had never met 'asian paul' and felt it necessary to call him right that second and have him come down to the house to meet me. she thought that since we were both called 'asian___' that we needed to meet each other. can we talk about how awkward that is? yeah, so asian paul rode his bike down and i was desperately trying to get patin out the door to play tennis before he got there but we werent fast enough. so asian paul gets there and then amanda feels it very necessary that we take a picture together!! as though there wouldnt be any other time that two asian people would be in the same setting together and she needed to really capture the moment. i protested for a while and realized that she wasnt going to let me leave till i did so i finally gave in and yes, i took a picture with asian paul. i was then able to make my getaway and try to convince myself that that whole situation didnt just happen...then, patin and i played an INTENSE game of tennis. ive never played so hard...he puts spin on every single hit so i was running all over the place the whole time. he won the set 6 games to 2 but he said i did get better and that was enough to make me happy. i love tennis! that nite we went to island party for a bit. i actually ran into my old roommate ashley from freshman and sophomore year which was crazy but so great - i hadnt seen her in forever! after IP, patin and i grabbed dinner and then went and hung out with meghan for a while. i hadnt seen her since last summer so it was so good to finally see her. after that it was back to the boys house for more lounging around. rielly worked out all the knots in my back - something i definitely miss having done on a regular basis.
sunday i ate lunch with andrea - another great catching up time. then most of sunday afternoon was spent like most sundays should be spent - on the couch watching tv and taking afternoon naps! those are the best and should definitely be incorporated into everyones sunday schedule. so after hours of tv/movie watching/napping i decided it was time to make the trip back home. so i said my goodbyes to alison and the boys house and headed on back. i was definitely sad to have to leave. its hard to leave a place which is so comfortable and where most of your good friends are and come back to a place where friends are sparse. also hard to leave a place where you have no responsibilities and everything is hanging out and fun and come back to a place where you have an 8-5 job and have to get up early. but i guess thats the difference between college life and the real world. and as hard as it was for me to break away from college life, i wouldnt for a second want to go back to having to study and take finals and do group projects. uuggh...just the thought of it stresses me out!
so anyways...thanks to all my friends in cs for hanging out with me - i had a great time!! and now its time to get back to work...
