Sooo much to update about break!!
Monday me, ,Emily, Nik, Scott, AJ, and Matty Crumpuet Coppenhagen went downtown to the Field Museum. We took the train and the free trolley again, and that was really fun. We got to see all the stuffed animals (dude, moose are HUGE!), and the Pompeii exhibit. The Pompeii exhibit was pretty cool, but it was really only about the erruption and the excavation. I sort of wish it was about Pompeii in general, like, life in Pompeii. Pre-eruption. But whatever, old rings and body casts get old after a while. We also got to see a ton of stuff like the gem room, Sue, and some Tibet exhibit.
This week was Dina's birthday, and we went to Gurnee Mills on Tuesday. I spent waaay too much....on myself of course...but whatever, Christmas shopping was done, and hey, why is shopping for yourself so easy if you're not supposed to do it? Then on Thursday we went downtown to this bar/lougey place called Sauce. Kind of awkward since I didn't know any of her friends, but apple martinis made it all the better.
Got to hang out with all my buds at Dan's place on Wednesday....got to know them a little better in addition to running in to more Expressions than I care to count....not to mention having to be driven home in my own car by my hero, AJ. And Dan getting sick everywhere. But hey, whatever, it was a blast!!!
One great thing this break has been to be with with Ben. Even if we go to different colleges and it couldn't work then, hey, let's just enjoy what we have now, right? But I'm so happy, I can't remember the last time I was this happy with someone. I love to hang out with him, because he's still one of my best friends, even if some new stuff has developed. And hey, there's always summer, right? Anyway, Fantastic Four was an okay movie. One can watch half of it and still get the gist of things.
Christmas was amazing this year too. I got to go to church with the Zintaks, and got to see some people I hadn't seen since, like June! I got to see my daddy too. We had seafood for Christmas dinner, which I didn't like at all, but at least there was salad. I got some really great stuff too. I got Amazon Trail (which I BEAT! Hahaha), Eragon, Wayfarer Redemption, Prince of Egypt DVD, like 200 dollars to Old Navy, jammie pants, a sweet tea maker, a basket full of Asian food, a scarf in UNCW colors, and a "Prose before Hoes" Shakespeare shirt. It was an awesome Christmas!!! And I'm sure everyone loved their gifts too. Ben wore the shirt I got him =)
HOPE EVERYONE HAD AMAZING HOLIDAYS AND GOD BLESS!!!
My roomate is in Arizona too, hope Jen is having fuuuun.
