i wish postsecret was working....
fourth of july weekend....well, "weekend", can only be described as perfect. i don't really like using that word because nothing is really ever perfect, but this was.
The drive down was nice. i left at 11.30pm, so i didn't get to portland until 2.30am, which was fine. I slept at Ashley, Lauren, and Kristie's house. it's awesome. quite large.
That morning, ashley and i went to LC and walked around campus waiting for lauren and grant to get there. then we all went to lake oswego, which is a really rich area, and walked around, and played in a fountain. Then we got milkshakes and waited for the parade to start. It was lame, so we left, but not before walking in the parade and waving to the spectators.
Then we went to find fireworks, and had to get shorts to swim in. But, we found inflated swimming animal friends, so we bought them. Ashely bought a gecko, Gecky, Lauren bought a lobster (the best one), Mr. Feelers, I got an alligator, Dakota 2, and grant bought a lounge chair one, but i don't remember the name.
Then, we met up later with robbie and ct and went swimming in the outdoor pool on campus. it was really packed, but everyone went to the other side of the pool because our animal friends took up a whole side. haha.
dinner was eaten at pizzacatos, and it was delicious. WHen we got home, we lit some fireworks, and drank some beer. Lauren has a magic bullet, so we made margaritas. It was funny because me, and i think grant too, both had a beer in one hand and a margarita in the other. i got pretty drunk, and by the time we watched the real fireworks, i was wasted. it was great fun. then the guys left to go to a party, but i stayed because i needed to get up early to drive back. Then ashley went to bed, and kristie was talking on th ephone, but i was trying to make lauren ask her if she would drive us to bannings because she hadn't been drinking, but thankfully lauren made me realize that bannings wasn't that awesome, and that i should sleep, which was a great idea.
The next morning started at 7.30, and i felt kind of shitty, but i didn't let ashely know. i drove to campus to see if clariece was working at the bookstore, but she wasn't. It was on the drive to the school that i realized i shouldn't have been driving because i was still a little drunk, but walking around school, and getting starbucks made me better. Oh, and i played the piano too. it was hard because i've almost forgotten the song, but it still sounds good.
The drive back was fine, and then i went to work.
I think i'm going back down for my birthday... i'm taking the 22 and 23 off. but if i don't go down, i can spend all day 22 reading HP, but i don't know yet.
And i finally bought my ticket for germany. august 29. i'm excited.
Now i'm off to the library so that i can check out some french tapes to learn french. that's gonna be something.
