Excitement!
Ooo, school starts tomorrow! I’m rather excited about that this evening. I just got my bag prepared for tomorrow, and packed with all the books and pens and things I need. I’ve got a pretty easy day, I think – just Quechua and a meeting with the professor I’m TAing for. I’m looking forward to it for sure!
Today turned into that relaxing and great day I was hoping for. Got up pretty late after a debacle with our smoke alarm (chirpping, running out of batteries) at 4 am. Had a nice lie in, a quick breakfast, and then we headed off to Vacaville to get some stuff done. Lewis needed new pants that fit better, so we hit up the Eddie Bauer outlet and proceeded to spend waaaay more money than we probably needed. But when all pants are like 15 dollars, and nothing you own fits any more… it’s time to sink some money in for the name of comfort. We even ran into our Davis friends Ann and Joaquin there! We had a nice lunch at Mels and then went and picked fabric for our bathroom curtain which maybe I’ll have time to pin and sew tomorrow. Dinner with the Lawyers tonight was very relaxing. We had some mixed drinks and talked through our LA plans (whew!) and a very tasty dinner. Life is good.
Now I just need to try and get myself into bed before 1 am, so that I’ll actually make it to class on time in the morning. Thankfully I don’t have any 8 am classes this quarter. 10 am will seem like a blessing! And here’s to hoping that this quarter will be a better balanced, but equally enriching and stimulating experience. Last quarter was a little out of control in places, and this quarter has a lot of potential for getting out of hand. But as of tonight, I’m feeling relaxed and hopeful that this quarter will be a happy time full of friends and fun and adventure! How’s that for a last-night-of-break cap?
