Well Friday started out with my Old Testament Exam #2. Definitely think I did better than the 1st one, but that is still to be determined... one can only hope. Regardless, I came out of class feeling exuberant and just really happy. Happy that it was the weekend, happy that I finally got to take a break before homework 24/7, and happy because it was a Friday. So I was on my way to lunch when I saw some dorm mates who asked if I wanted to go to the mall in 15 minutes. Why not? It was after all the weekend!
So, in our infinite wisdom, and because none of us have a car, we waited for the shuttle to come pick us up. And waited. And waited. The shuttle finally arrived and the driver yelled at us to "Hurry up! I'm 15 minutes late!" He then proceeded to close the door on us and start the bus while we were still on the front steps. Nice move Gordon?
Anyways, after a really long journey and some rather unusual stops and doublebacks our crazy driver, and I do mean rather out of it driver, dropped us off at the North Shore Mall. This is quickly becoming my favorite mall - and it's not even in Boston! Long story short we spent 6 hours at the mall, enjoyed a lovely non-lame (I mean Lane) food dinner, and had a lovely time.
When all was said and done we got back to Gordon about 8:30pm only to come back and do this!
Blacklight party! No, not what you are thinking grandparents, despite how I'm dressed. Our school has been in full Homecoming swing this whole week and has fun events every day - this was Friday's event. Totally sponsored by the school and actually a really lame dance. But I did get told I was a really good dancer so on the flip side... I was okay with that. And besides, my outfit was awesome and I got to hang out with my friends. AND I wasn't doing any homework :)
Elaine and I. Spent a lot of time with this girl this weekend :)
So we basically stayed up really late and then woke up the next morning to find Homecoming still in full swing! Actually, I woke up at 6am to wild chanting outside my window since I am facing the quad. Great times. Anyways, after a late start we ventured outside. Sadly, we only got to enjoy the activities for a little bit because we both agreed that we had a ton of homework to do. (3 papers by Monday people! That's at least 8 pages!) However, as the day was a beautiful 80 degrees we took at study break at 4pm and went to the bookstore because we heard that they were having a sale. Well, as much as bookstores can.
Guess who finally got their first Gordon themed apparel? They are amazingly comfortable and I think I pretty much haven't taken them off since I've gotten them. Good buy Krystal.
What else? I apologize for how long this post is - I've just been doing so many small things! I love having friends who 1) work in the cafe 2) steal free food and 3) give it to me because they've already gorged themselves on french fries. Yummy!
It's mashed potatoes if you can't tell = very, very happy night.
Also making for a very, very happy night is finding time to knit. As I have finished most of my homework I allowed myself some relaxation time tonight.
And look! I've progressed!
A little misshapen and uneven but I'm getting back in the swing of knitting. I've also never changed colors before so this is kind of a big deal people. Actually, this is really impressive because I haven't knit for a great number of years and I just started this on Friday. Yeah. I'm that good.
In conclusion: a very fulfilling weekend. A few practical jokes, a great trip to the mall, a little bit of stressing, finishing a lot of work while taking a lot of breaks, and a lot of laughs. Oh, and I pretty much ate really badly this weekend. Fun stuff college.
