i'm alive and that's good news
wednesday, james and i met for dinner up at mexico, then headed out to innsbrook to see reo speedwagon. met a few more friends of his, all of whom seemed really nice. the concert was okay overall, but i didn't really know many songs besides the few they had released back in the day. once we ran out of beer tickets, we headed on home since james and i both had to be up early.
thursday, my boss took us all out to lunch since it was my last day! i really enjoyed my internship there. i definitely learned a lot, and brandon was a great guy to work for. kinda sad to leave, but i definitely won't miss driving 50 minutes everyday in rush hour traffic! lauren and i went out to dinner later on that evening and hung out for a bit while she waited for andrew to get back from rugby practice... apparently he's playing rugby now! james had to work really late, so we decided to meet up for lunch on friday.
we went to a restaurant in new kent that i actually never even knew existed, even though it's probably been there all my life. well, that's not true. i knew the building was there, i guess i just didn't know it was a restaurant. i got the biggest cheeseburger i've ever laid eyes on. it was really good, too, but i couldn't finish it.
james came back to the house with me for a bit to help me get ready to go, but not before saying goodbye... lol. i let him carry the heavy stuff to the truck :) we got it all packed in there nice and tight and then i remembered my desk chair for studio... oops. but we got it in without too much rearranging. so i put the dog in the passenger sear, toss my purse and keys over into my seat, shut the door and go to kiss my cowboy goodbye, when he says, "uh... michelle? did your doors just lock?"
and i look up just in time to see the dog take her foot down off the door.
soooo, 30 minutes and 20 dollars later, i'm ready to go, after my sister's friend came over with his locksmith stuff! my dog is special... things like that only happen to me!
god back to blacksburg a little before 7pm and hung out with the roommates for a while. i definitely think it's going to be a good year. :) took it easy friday night and most of yesterday during the day.
last night, jackie and i went to dinner at pk's with katie and megan. then she and i came here for a little while before heading over to TVC to hang out with brian and trey and etc. then ventured over to foxridge to see ronnie and shane. ronnie's little brother lives in the same apartment that he used to live in with jeff and kirby, so it was a little bit of dejavu there at first. ended up having a really good night, lots of fun, stayed out really late! i sent james the most hilarious text message at some point that night, and i might have been embarrassed at my forwardness, but i know he liked it so it's okay. lol. and, i also found out something that is just so pathetic that i can only laugh. i guess in a way it's kind of sad that some people are so two-faced, but i don't really feel the need to worry about it. life has a funny way of revealing someone's true colors.
all in all, i had waaaay too much fun for my own good last night, and it's amazing that i feel so good today!! had our first exec meeting of the fraternity tonight at 8, and talked to my cowboy for quite a while afterwards. he mentioned something about a house in roanoke again. i can't even explain how incredible that would be if he can work that out somehow...
i'm looking forward to the first day tomorrow. i hope everyone has a good one!
