"i'll see you on facebook!"

if one had heard the sounds of my ferocious typing, they might think i'm a few pages into a paper or doing something else productive, but alas, i am blogging. it's quickly becoming one of my procrastination techniques, along with hanging out in other people's rooms and facebook. and it is saturday night, i refuse to let Frederick Buechner ruin my night. guess he'll have to wait until sunday night :)

today about half of the girls from my floor went on an adventure to downtown seattle. sooo fun! we started out at pike's place market and walked through it, including all of the various little knick-naks and beautiful flowers and food. we, of course, being girls, just had to take a group picture in front of pike's place and some random guy yelled out as he walked by, "i'll see you on facebook!" clearly knowing it was going to be posted sooner rather than later....too funny. we then ate at DeLaurenti's (i think that's spelled right) for lunch. the pizza there is SO good. they cut it into really big squares, probably bigger than the size of my face. more grease than a leaky car, but sooo worth it. there was a little place to eat, and a little grocery store attached to it. it was an italian's paradise, and a chocolate lover's paradise....they had chocolates from all over the world. after that, we went to nordstrom rack. bad idea for this girl. amazingly, i made it out without buying ONE THING. i'm working on windowshopping....so far, so good. we walked around some more before catching the bus back to campus. we were all so tired that we just layed around for awhile. (my roommate was up until 5am, you can imagine her fatigue). not a very exciting saturday night, as is clearly evident by me blogging, but after the first week of college and its craziness, it's just fine with me. what else....i have discovered the joys of skype. i'm still getting used to it, but i love it! it's definitely different - seeing someone and talking to them - without really seeing them in person. but it's one step better than talking to them on the phone :) when my sister visited me on thursday, i think she felt a little dated that she had to bring a giant desktop computer to college 9 years ago.....how technology has changed! OH! there is supposedly a frozen yogurt place coming to queen anne....my california friends are delighted. as am i! for now we'll just have to stick to starbucks - not too difficult in seattle. signing off - have a good night! (or day) :)

LOVE.
