west side story

This weekend included Maria coming up, beer pong, very good indian food, where the wild things are, old friends, banana bread, fantasy basketball, and very little studying. All ingredients that led to one of the better weekends I've had in some time. It was a nice little break from the academic chaos that davis entails.

Friday: I pretty much just played everything friday by ear. I got some studying done in the afternoon and played some ball till Maria got here. I'm sad to admit that I've lost a step or two. All those games at Birch did not do much to help. I'm nothing more than a complimentary player. Anyways, Maria got here around 8ish and we went to pick up w/ Sees to watch Where the Wild Things Are. Neither Maria or Sees had a car so we fit all 3 of us in our 2 seater. It was scary/stupid/interesting all at once. The movie was really...strange? There were a lot of disturbing parts; I don't really think the movie was meant for kids. We then headed to Marina's sorority house just to say hi and chill for a bit. I hadn't seen Marina since the first day of school so it was nice to see her. After that we called it a night.

Saturday: During the day, I kinda just did my own thing. For dinner, Me, Maria, and Marina had Kathmandu Kitchen. I let them order for me since I know nothing about Indian food. Whenever I go to Ammo's house he never feeds me Indian food. It's usually sandwiches or chips. The only thing on the menu I had any knowledge of was naan. The experience instilled me with this urgency/necessity to be more cultured. The food was very good and very cheap. 2 things I'm all about!

Dinner was preceded at some sorority house? I've never seen so many white girls at a party. Maria and I were dominating in beer pong. The party was kinda lame so we just stayed for about an hour or two. I managed to sneak in a bunch of drinks in that time span (hence the picture). It was so weird to see Nicole there. She saw me on campus like a week ago and facebooked me saying "oh i saw you on campus blah blah, we should hang out" I didn't respond till that night and then i randomly saw her. After some pong, we headed back to marinas place and youtube'd the night away

NMHS reunion!

Today: I do the same thing every sunday: Wake up, set my fantasy football lineups, cook ramen or mac n cheese at halftime, then study. The niners came up a little short this weekend but kudos to Alex Smith. I'm glad to see him get another well deserved opportunity. After the disappointing loss, I had to force myself to get up and mosey on over to the library. I studied the night away and then relaxed the rest of the night w/ some chicken noodle soup.

Its like 2:15ish and Maria just fell asleep. I'm really glad she came up to visit. She's one of the better people I have in my life. She keeps me grounded. You'll probably never see this but I always come out feeling like a better person when I hang out w/ you. Thank you.
