Last weekend

Wow...has it almost been a week since I turned my capstone in? Bummer...that means I've got my draft coming back to me tomorrow. Assessment one is due a week from tomorrow. AHHHHHHHHH Means another stress overload for Sun-Wed. LoL

Last week really was a stressful week on many levels...In the end, though, it turned out okay and Tori and Andy came up on Friday!! When they got here, Tori, Andy, Chris, and I went to dinner with two old co-workers. Jen cooked for us and it was GOOD. We had a good time and many laughs. After dinner we went to Borders to say bye to Anthony because it was his last day. It was fun surprising him because Chris and I walked in first and then Tyler, Jen, Tori, and Andy walked in. He was surprised so that was nice. Then we went back to Jen's to have our finishing milkshake (alcoholic and non-alcoholic).

Saturday was the Aquarium's Volunteer Gala. That was a lot of fun! Tori and Andy came up for the gala (i got them in) so it was fun getting ready with Tori. Tori, Shae, and I went to the beauty college and got our hair done. Then Chris came over and we all 4 took pictures and took off in Tori's car. The food was fantastic at the aquarium (as usual). They had two salads (one was a "Farmer's Market" one that was butter lettuce, some other greens, strawberries, feta or bleu cheese, and some vinagerette dressing - excellent!), steamed vegetables, sourdough rolls, braised chicken with pickled red onions, carved beef tri-tip with some mushroom thing, pacific sable with something, avocado salsa (for either the tri-tip or fish, can't remember), and mac and cheese. I miss the multi-buffet tables they've done in past years (except last year) because you had SO many food options and the themes were always great, but the food quality hasn't gone down or anything so I'm okay in the long run. LoL Chris and I ended up not getting any of the dessert (long lines FOREVER and other stuff). It was tiramusu, some shortcake/raspberry thing, cookies, and the fresh fruit with option of chocolate sauce. I don't think I've ever seen so many people at the Gala too. I think this year made my 6th one and it was just PACKED. It was fun seeing everyone all dressed up and stuff. We sat in front of the Outer Bay Window, which I think are the best seats in the entire aquarium.

I've been doing a really good cleaning on my room the last two days. Basically because I'm procrastinating. LoL Cleaning lends itself to a great excuse because it's something that needs to be done eventually and if you're in the mood, you're in the mood! I've cleaned my sheets, towels, clothes, vacuumed, uncluttered, and even did a little dusting and cleaning out of old clothes. I also cleaned my bathroom before Tori and Andy arrived. So my room is CLEAN! It's a nice feeling and it's nice to be in now. LoL I suspect with only 6 weeks left of school, I will be doing a lot of sitting/thinking/writing in my room.

With that...enough procrastination. I need to rewrite my abstract, intro, and discussion of my physics lab.

Laters!
