An Extended Weekend

Ever since Thursday night, the rest of the week has just been an extended weekend. I didn't go to class on Friday, and I even skipped out on Kiwanis Takeover because I just didn't feel like doing anything.


But I have some of the bestest friends here in San Diego. Peter and Drew came to "kidnap" me from my apartment for lunch. The original plan was to go get Pho, but we got attracted to the big sign that said Soup Plantation. Peter doesn't really like to eat there, but even he gave in for lunch. haha. I had a fat lunch. Drew stood in front of me in the line, and he ended up paying for my share. (It's okay because I sneakily paid for his lunch on Saturday when he left his wallet in the car, and I told him I'd cover for him.)

I spent the rest of Friday at home, doing laundry and watching TV with Jeff. We were both extremely bored. We ended up watching a series of mommy shows like WifeSwap and SuperNanny, as terrible as they were. haha. There just wasn't anything good on TV! Drew picked me up to go hang out at Peter's, where the night had interesting twists and turns. But it ended well and we all got a good night's rest.

On Saturday, Honyin, Peter, Drew, and I ventured out to get some PHO. We tried a new place on Balboa called Phuong Trang instead of our regular pho place. It wasn't raining when we left, but when we got to the parking lot, it started POURING. Good thing we couldn't find a spot until the rain stopped :D The food was okay. I think we were too hungry to really notice anything. Besides, it's not like we're pho experts. haha

I spent the rest of the afternoon making chocolate roses with Honyin and Drew at Angie's apartment on campus. We made so many T____T But it was fun. Apparently, according to Angie, I'm good at making things look pretty - I don't know how to take that. haha

We all left around 5:30 to head over to Angela's hot pot party! She read about my broken umbrella, so she bought me a new one! Thanks! There was a lot of food. A whole lot for $5 per person. I went back to my place early for the rest of the night to work on stuff. I don't remember what else I did but watch TV. Maybe wrote some essays for awards. But so much TV watching this weekend! I guess it's because Darin went home to Visalia, or otherwise, he'd be on the TV most of the time.

And today was just whatever. Woke up, got some work done, had lunch with Peter/Drew, etc etc. Darin called me on Saturday night and told me that he left his car key on his desk, and asked if I could still pick him up from the airport. I was surprised because he decided to trust me with his car even though I just had that accident. It was a good feeling.

For most of the weekend, I've had good feelings despite the status of my car. The only times I drifted into an emo state was when I was bound to my home watching TV and when I went to bed at night. That's pretty good. I'm glad that I have such great friends who are both nearby and far away. No matter the distance, they've all helped me cope and made my weekend a lot better than it probably would've been. Thanks guys.
