-drawings-
Sometimes I feel so stressed and crazy that I draw stuff. I was studying for Wayland's exam in the library and I was looking outside, and I drew the scene I saw in a sketch and charcoal sort of way. If you have seen this view, I think you would recognize it. But othrwise, I think.. it is just a set of odd buildings. It happens to be the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) and the Children's Hopstial (CHOP).
I did this instead of studying for a little while. Cause sometimes you just have to take a break like that.
-exams and stuff-
Wayland's exam went well I think. I spent the rest of the day hanging in the lab, and then the ZOC meeting. I was invited to go out with Alice that evening.
-Dinner-
So, I went to dinner with Alice and her friends. Ethiopian food. 30% of the proceeds that night went to AIDS research and treatment. Awesome stuffs. Awesome foods.
It was 9:30 by the time we left, but they were going to
Sisters ("Philadelphia's premier gay and lesbian bar") and I was invited along for that, too!
-Sisters-
10$ cover, but you get 8 drink tickets (good for water, beer, house wine, and certain mixed drinks). Good for drinks from 9:30 to 11:30.
The downstairs was a bar/lounge, with buffet food. Upstairs was a dance floor and bar.
It was really fun. If all bars had such nice atmospheres, I think I'd go to bars more often.
Seriously. (also, ended up seeing my ex-student whom I'm writing a letter of rec for... as well as her best friend, who is currently in my lab... they aren't regulars by a long shot. What are the odds?)
Left sometime round 12:30. Got a ride to 36th and walnut, walked home from there. Just a little sprinkling, a nice night stroll.
I must say, though. Even the hottest of lesbians is not as hot as my tee. No doubts there.
-being OK-
I am glad JUlie is OK. So far they think she had a mini-stroke. They haven't ruled out the possibility of MS, but it is less likely. I hope she did well on the exam. We all studied really hard for it, and I think that despite the currently slow writing and weakness... she's quite a bright cookie and merely needs more confidence in her abilities. I really hope she will get to be able to move her toes once again. And that she will get to be able to walk straight once again. Need hope.
There is..
