this weekend was busy, and at times a little crazy, but i enjoyed 100% of it. it seems the last few weekends before break are always filled with activities.
on friday afternoon, i went to the police station with hope to get her fingerprints for the camp she is working at this summer. that was quite an experience....fingerprinting is grouped with offender registration and weapon registration, so you can imagine the cast of characters that we saw in there. you had to go through a metal detector when you came in....safety first!
on friday night, a group of us from 1W last year got together for our dear friend abby (third from left) whose birthday was on monday. we went to costas opa, a greek restaurant in fremont, and then to molly moon's ice cream in queen anne. i had never been to costas opa, or even really eaten greek food, but it was wonderful. i had something that i can't pronounce, much less spell, that consisted of pita bread, and garlic (VERY garlic) whipped potatoes. there had to have been at least 5 cloves of garlic in my small serving. our original plan was to go down the street to bluebird ice cream, but it was closed. then we tried to go to our favorite gelato shop, royal grinders, but they were closed. plan C was molly moon's, and it was SO good. (i had, as usual, salted caramel). it was so good to be reunited with these girls and to celebrate a good friend's entrance into her twenties! how weird does that sound? after that, half of us spent the night at beth's house.
on saturday afternoon, it was beautiful and SUNNY in seattle, so naturally we felt obligated to take advantage of it. we went to golden gardens in ballard (pictured below), where it was extremely windy. despite that, we had a great time basking in the 55 degree warmth. we then went shopping in some adorable boutiques in fremont, and later on ate at red robin on the waterfront downtown.
today is my lovely friend meranda's 19th birthday! i have the pleasure of being her next door neighbor :) she is such a funny, thoughtful, and beautiful person!
i clearly have not had any time for homework this weekend, so i better get started on that....it's so wild to think that i'll be done in a mere 11 days. this quarter has FLOWN by. only one more weekend until spring break!!! i can't wait to be done with this quarter.
you might be wondering how last week turned out.....even if you're not, i'm going to tell you anyway. i wrote a 4-page paper, a 6-page paper, had two quizzes, and read multiple pages. add catching a cold in the process and little sleep, i am pretty exhausted.
i will try to post more than i have been in the last few weeks.....but i can't promise anything ;)
love always, C
