This weekend was a fairly interesting one. I was in the midst of my little environmental-friendly experiment (for more information, see my previous entry; basically all you need to know is this meant reduced internet usage, eek!) as well as being temporarily roommate-less since my roommate had gone home for the weekend. As could be imagined, with not much to entertain me in Rm. 301, I spent a fair amount of time harassing others with my presence in their rooms.
On Friday, a friend from high school came up to visit. It was a lot of fun to have him here. At the same time, it was strange see someone from my high school world, so separate and distinct, mixing with my college world--my college friends. We didn't do much while he was here, besides hit Benny's for some dinner, sit around in the hallway, and then move our sitting and chattering out into the lounge. My college way of life seems to attest to the idea that you don't actually have to do much, or even go out anywhere, to have a good time. After he left, I joined some friends in watching 500 Days of Summer, but I was feeling sick so I headed to bed a bit early.
Saturday, friends and I took the free shuttle service over to Wal-Mart, where I bought some Capri Sun, my personal college essential, water, tissues, and Ritz Crackers. An added bonus to Wal-Mart: being able to get some McDonalds! Nothing else exciting really happened until some friends and I headed over to TRAX. I hadn't been there in a while, so it was a lot of fun to one, dress up, and two, get to dance. Glitter was a part of the party theme, so a friend in the dorm helped glitterfy me. Glitter is now all over my bed and probably elsewhere in my room. But it was a really good time so maybe the glitter was worth it, as well as the ache in my feet as we trudged back to Hass.
Sunday, I went to chapel and then brunch (one of the greatest meals of the week at SU!). I then headed to the library to make some changes to the draft of my memoir piece for Creative Nonfiction and then e-mailed it to Dr. Retief. My conference about this piece is today, actually. I'm pretty terrified--though not as much as I will be for workshop. I've never really given anyone something this personal to read, especially not for critiquing purposes! Back at Hass, I watched The Little Mermaid with friends while finishing up some homework. Then, finally, I went to InterVarsity's Super Bowl party, where I did a very poor job at paying attention.
Overall, a good weekend, but I could've gone without the whole catching-a-cold component.
