Weekends!

This was a fabulous weekend! I love being in college. :-) On Saturday I got home from my shift and took a long nap. It has been a long time since I have had enough free time to actually sleep. When I woke up Daniel had done the mail for me, so I didn't have to worry about that. He spoils me. We went out to this thai place for dinner. Daniel loves thai food, but we hardly ever get to eat it. Usually when we go out, he let's me pick the place. Tonight, however, it was Daniel's turn. So I encouraged him to order whatever he wanted. It was actually much better than either of us thought it would be. We were planning on going to a Denver Brass concert together, but I didn't really feel like going. I thought it would be a nice night to stay home and spend some time by myself for a little while. So Daniel went to the concert and I ended up on my computer for an hour or so reading up on Europe some more. That's my latest obsession.

At about 8:15 my friend Hope texted me and invited me over to watch a movie and do a little light studying for finals. Her favorite movie is Love Actually and I've never seen it, so she insisted that we watch it. It was very romantic, just like Hope. She likes anything that has to do with love. So Hope, Robin, and I went to Robin's suite to relax and be girly for a little while. We also drank hot chocolate, ate roasted walnuts coated with cinnamon sugar (delicious!) and frosted sugar cookies. I guess Robin's suitemate's mom brought all the stuff to make sugar cookies and roasted nuts, so they did a lot of baking earlier that week. I sure enjoyed it! The movie ended around 11. By then Robin's other suitemates had come home.

A bunch of them are in choir with me so I knew all of them. We watched youtube videos of Yelle, this really popular singer in France. Her videos look like they're targeted at eight year olds, but she sings about really provocative stuff. It's all in french of course, but I guess words like "pornography", "orgasm", and "favorite position" are cognates lol. It was obvious what she was talking about. So we danced around and made fun of Yelle for a little while. I called Daniel to find out if he was home yet, and he said that he was, but I couldn't come home because he was talking privately with one of his residents. Blech. Stupid RA stuff. Luckily the girls were perfectly willing to let me hang out with them in their suite until 1am when Daniel was finished. All in all, it was a great night. It made me feel very lucky that I am living in a residence hall at such an awesome school with great friends. It's nights like those that I will look back on and remember how much fun college was. I think everybody should experience living in a dorm. There's nothing like it.

Today I slept in until 11am. Blissful. I worked for a couple hours this afternoon. Daniel came and helped me study for core. Hope is also in core with me, so she came by and we studied together. 2 hours goes by way faster when you have friends with you. And studying is way more fun with friends too! My core final is tomorrow morning at 8am, so I need to finish up my studying tonight. Hope and I are at the top of our class, so I'm not worried. It should go smoothly. Tomorrow Hope and I are going to go see a movie and then Tuesday we're going out to dinner with Danelle, Katie, Nikki, Reema, and a bunch of other Nelson staff. It should be lots of fun! Then Wednesday is snowboarding. Thursday and Friday will be cleaning and packing. And then Saturday we drive home!
