fun weekend:)
So Thursday was practically the weekend,... after work we took hte new kids to carmens, and then to PM. I had a great game of darts with davebryan as my partner- we schooled brian adn this new girl ... yay! we had fun at PM but we got there SO early because we finihsed at carmens early...so many people cleared out by like 1030 11 ish (!?) so after talking to marina for about a half hour, we decided to switch to nevins, just for fun. it was cool there, we had a good time, and decided that from now on, if PM gets sucky, we're switching over. :)
Friday after work was party time. Jessica and I went to do some last minute shopping and got subways, headed to nates and started setting up. the first people to arrive at the party were international students at 9:05 hahaha. but gradually more people arrived, and the party was kicking by 10-1030 ish...so much so that the police came, gave us a noise violation and we had to leave. at 1030!!!! so luckily 4 of hte new kids live in a prof's house, so we moved the party there, complete with a garage to play beer games. haha. we brought all hte food and the keg. I played my first game of "flippy-cup" ever...I was afraid that i'd bring down teh team, but I chugged faster than i've ever chugged before and flipped my cup on the first try. wahoo! The party was fun, everyone was getting pretty drunk, and we all had a fun time. We had to make a flow chart for steve bc he was too drunk to understand how we met molly and kristen, and then he insisted that we make him a flow chart about his birthday too...at least he agreed to let us take him somewhere for his birthday! Anyways, it felt reallllly good to drink nad be out late and not get home or to sleep till like 3. Then saturday morning, Kristen adn I went to get car washing supplies, and we had our car washing party- we washed 5 cars (waxing 2) - mine, toms, cheryl's, kristen's and her friend renee's. We were so hungry after that, and cheryl made mac and cheese for me, david, tom and herself, while david and tom tried to help me fix my computer. yum. then we just hung out and then headedto bowling- and i bought the garden state soundtrack on the way. good stuff! bowling was a lot of fun, there were 10 of us... i bowled a 105 and a 100. sweet! then we headed back to my place and played some games and drank some drinks and just had a relaxing ish time getting to know some of our new people.
Today after church I went to chandlers to practice violin, and then went with jess to get tablecloths, cooked dinner and then watched jack and bobby with cheryl and kristen, and then kristen and I had a long conversation about why it is so easy for some people to find significant others, btu for some people (aka us!) it was soooo difficult...we are confused. we are normal, we're both in phd programs, we are not hideously ugly, and we're nice! what is the deal... for some reason i am more frustrated by this than i have been in a while...sigh...
anyways, it was a great fun weekend, and this week should be busy and fun, and classes start. scary !!
