So Tuesday I woke up with a slight headache and congested, but I shrugged it off and went downstairs to watch my ritualistic re-runs of Dawson's Creek. Did pretty much nothing all day-read a little, ate, watched some more tv. Later that night I went out to dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen with my friend, Jenny. She is so awesome; i'm so glad that the majority of my friends are two years older than me at least (jenny is 24). We had such a great time together, me being a listening ear, and her, imparting words of wisdom to me in my current situation. It's like we have a mutual understanding of each other, each other's struggles, and what each person's needs are. The next day I went out with Kristin and Nyssa. First i have to say that when Kristin is hungry all hell breaks loose. And if she only has one restaurant in mind, all others won't do. FINALLY we decided to just go to Quizno's, after Quizno's Kristin wanted ice cream, so we went to fourth street San Rafael for some Coldstone's, and delightfully there was live music being played outside. Kristin and I both got Rocky Road, and the guy who made ours totally liked us, while Nyssa's ice cream was gross and waayy too sugary ( also made by a girl with one of her glasses fogged up- i have no clue what that was about). Then I went with Nyssa to Eric Keener's house for an hour; it was okay. Then we came back and watched America's Next Top Model complete with the revelation of a bi model and some added faint spell. Thursday, was great too; I hung out with Hanh, and we went to fourth street San Rafael again and sat outside a quaint Crepes shop eating our nutella and strawberries crepes. Then we drove down through Mill Valley. All of Marin County, starting from Novato down to Sausalito, which is the last town before San Francisco, is so quaint. It reminds me of Europe, with it's little shops, outdoor cafes and farmer's markets. Everything is so picturesque and adorable. So after me and Hanh continued to walk around and as we are waiting to cross the street some guy starts yelling obscenities at us. Hanh gets nervous and starts to walk really fast which draws his attention even more. Really loud for him to hear i say," I do not need to start walking faster. I will walk at the pace i want to, and he better not get close to me." That definitely didn't help the situation. He starts following us- this huge guy, who is seemingly high listening to rap music. We finally cross the street to get away from him and he follows us on the other side of the street, watching us. As we are walking, i quickly hide behind some cars, and Hanh follows. Thank god, he lost interest and started walking away finally. Our last stop is the Bead shop. Now, at this store i have to be extremely careful, because i have been known to drop $45 in that store on tiny beads. so i came in and LOOKED...and then i bought silk thread for the shell bead I had bought earlier while shopping with Nyssa. Later that night I watched Beyond Borders at home ( excellent movie that everyone should see) and felt so sick and crappy that i just fell asleep. Friday, my last day, i refused to leave the house so i could saturate everything in before I left. I ended up listening to music, and chatting with my brother for hours about our lives. And today i flew out, sat by a weird, nervous guy, finished reading 1984 on the plane, started The Wheel of Time, took MARTA with Sara who picked me up, went to a potluck dinner, got to Olga's house, and watched Phantom of the Opera. Pictures will be up shortly, but here i am back in GA almost dreading the next two months. I just have to remind myself it's only two more months and then you're done with your first year. just keep those grades up; but there is another situation which has been on my mind all week and has grown progressively worse...11:10 PM
