April 05, 2010

So I have to get back into the swing of things now that Spring Break 2010 (WOOOO!) is officially over.  It was a really good week though, so much so that I am going to recap the second half for you:

• WEDNESDAY I worked from 930 to 4, which was boring and stupid.  But I got to hang out with the sisters and Melissa which made the day a lot better.  We stopped at Keil's beforehand to pick up some treats and upon filling up a bag of sour gummy bears, Katy found a tag on one of the twist ties that read: my stomach hurts :(.  It was kind of sad because it looked like a child's handwriting but also really, really funny because it was in a child's handwriting.  Obviously Katy wanted to take that one with her, but we decided it would only be fair if we left new messages on some tags for someone else to find.  So if you were in the candy section of Keil's s this week and say a tag that said "I cry all the time :(" that was most likely me.  But after snack procuring, we headed to J and A's and ate chocolate-covered strawberries and cracked pepper triscuits and cheese and candy and watch Matthew Maconaghy's wife try to work through multiple speech impediments.  Annie and Melissa talked some more about SF and it made me want to move too.
• THURSDAY was my first day sans work since Saturday, so of course I decided to fill it with homework.  Katy and I packed up our things and headed off to Claire de Lune, where Annie and Janine joined us an hour or so later.  Thing is, Janine only brought internet-dependent assignments to work on and as it goes, Claire de Lune does not have the internet.  So J, A, and myself packed up our things, walked over to the Starbucks across the street aaaaand turned around and went right back into de Lune when we saw how jam-packed Sbucks was.  Actually, Janine went home because at that point, she didn't have enough time to study anyway.  So Katy, Annie, and I all crowded around a table and alternated between studying and being really distracted.  The best part about that coffee-shop trip was that I decided (with Katy's counseling) that I should just do an MFA program in Fall 2011.  I keep FREAKING out about my life and future, and the MFA sounds like the way to go.  All schools have pretty different programs, but it's basically a two year creative writing workshop.  I'd be doing that much writing on my own anyway, I might as well get a degree for it.  When I got home from the cafe and had internet access, I went on a school-searching spree.  I would kill someone if it meant I could get into NYU's program.  Zadie Smith, and JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER are both faculty members and it's run out of a house in Greenwich Village.  It just sounds so, so beautiful.  Sadly, it's ALSO NYU, so there's no way I'd get in, but hey, a girl can dream can't she?  Anyway though, Thursday night Katy, Melissa, and I went to Hamilton's for the first time, where I only spent $5 and had three drinks.  I met possibly the most boring man in the entire world whose looks did not in any way make up for the fact that we talked about freeway planning for half an hour.
• FRIDAY was another day completely free and I started the day off by taking Brian to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid.  So adorable!  I also saw a preview for Beezus and Ramona, which I'm getting super excited for.  Anyway, we went to Rubio's afterward and then headed home to dye/paint Easter eggs.  They all turned out pretty gorgeous.  After dinner, I went with Natalie and Melissa up to their friend's home in Fallbrook.  She (Lauren) just broke up with her lying, cheatin' boyfriend of nine years, so she needed a Girl's Night.  It was pretty fun because she has a gorgeous house and we got to jacuzzi.  We stayed the night there and drove home the next morning.
• SATURDAY I did my taxes and worked. 
  
• SUNDAY was Easter.  We had my Grandma over for a really delicious and bacon-filled breakfast, then went up to my Uncle John's for dinner.  I played a lot of pool and think I'm getting much better.  Which isn't saying a lot about my skill level, but still. 
  

So anyway, Spring Break's over and I'm sick of typing.  END.
