and so October begins

though a communications paper, was the primary event of my weekend, i still did manage to have some fun.
i'll start with thursday afternoon, when me and three other girls from my section (clara, candace and barret) decided to wander around campus. back behind the dorms of clark we discovered a gigantic bolder. this thing has to be like 50 feet high at least. we decided it would be a good idea to climb it and the best route up? up a tree, followed by a leap onto the rock face. it was especially great because me and clara didn't have shoes on. it was great; like i was one with nature or something haha. when we finally had managed to scramble down the face of the rock, back into the plantar of trees (it borders a parking lot, so i don't know what else to call it) a group of preview students was being led by. did i mention it was "previews weekend? it was a previews weekend. the fact that we were standing behind some trees in a gigantic planter definitely earned us some questioning looks as the possible students walked by. then to just top off the queerness of the moment, barret goes "great, they must think we are smoking something up here." oh my goodness she is a crackup!
after we meandered our way out of the "wilderness" we went out on the lawn and started up a game of frisbee, which tamara, who was walking by, joined. it was a blast!
thursday night, allison and i were hosting a preview student in our room. her name was katie and she was from Thousand Oaks. to be honest, i think allison and i frightened her...she didn't talk much.
anyway, she had a class to sit in on friday morning at 8:00, so i offered to go to breakfast with her at the D.C. i couldn't sleep that night and finally ended up falling asleep around 2am, which is super late for me (yes, even though i'm supposed to be a college student haha). i got up around 6:45, went to breakfast and arrived back at my room around 7:30. i didn't have class until 9:15, so i decided to go back to bed for about an hour ans set my alarm for 8:45. well, my alarm went off and i rolled over to shut it off, then immediately was out again. i woke up at 9:10, basically jumped off of my bed, grabbed by backpack and arrived to class on time, but half asleep. there were some preview students sitting in on our class and my professor asks who wants to explain to them what we do in this class. the girl sitting to my right speaks up, saying "we talk about communication and how to better understand society." then, unaware i'm speaking out loud, say "yep, pretty much." my prof. looks at me and asks "pretty much?" my response? "i just woke up...sorry." he and the rest of the class just laughed at me.
friday night was also a blast, since we totally did what all the cool kids do. tamara, clara, grace and i went to starbucks to study and do homework. and actually it was really fun. i got some stuff done, but mostly tamara and i just kept bursting into random fits of laughter. we came back and ended up talking and singing in tamara and clara's room for a couple hours. it was great!
saturday some of us went to this little sandwich shop for lunch called Panino. it has the most amazing sandwich's i have ever had! if anyone comes up here to visit me, i will definitely take you there.
last night a few of us went out for sushi (i had avocado rolls, since i'm not a fan of sushi) since it was half-priced on sunday nights.
so, even though i had massive loads of homework, my weekend still turned out to be a good one.

ciao for now.
