So, this weekend was my birthday (yes, thank you for the belated birthday wishes), so I was a tiny bit too busy to update this at that point. I have to say that I have some pretty good friends down here--my birthday weekend was probably the best weekend I'd had since I arrived on this island back in May.
On that Friday, we went to Marriott for sushi and my awesome friends then had a party for me at the boys' apartment. Games and good music... then movies, and an empty promise for cinnamon pancakes (which I MUST have at some point!). The next day, I got home early to let the pup out and then got a new air conditioner installed (YAY!). My roommates took me out to Spratnet's for a lobster dinner (which was close enough to what I'd be getting at home) and then I caught up with Katie for apple pie (yum!) and some of us went out to see Paranormal Activity 2. I have to admit that wasn't too bad... I even saw it again on Sunday, after the wine tasting and pot-luck... and Kristi and Howin's home-made ice cream cake (so... many... candles!). :) So yeah, in short, I have some great friends that really went out of their way to make it a great weekend, and even incorporate some little pieces of home for me.
Monday was mid-semester break, a.k.a. recovery-and-be-lazy day.
My sense of time was all messed up that week thanks to having Monday off. I even missed my lunch with the dean on Thursday because I thought it was Wednesday. Urgh.
