Oh my goodness was this particular weekend busy.

Friday, classes got out typically and I went back to my room. Then Miggy had this great idea to go to the taco shop right off campus; and boy was it good. Pretty cheap, definitely college budget friendly. But that left us thirsty, so we set off to find some boba. It's this asian drink, not quite a slushy or a tea, but it has these little fruit jelly balls on the bottom that you can drink up with the juice. Very delicious. It was Ramesh's first time on a tram, so it was pretty amusing watching her on the train. After we got our boba, we went on a merry ravaging of the asian supermarket inside the marketplace, and bought tons of berries like raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries.

It didn't take long for us to return home and fall asleep.

 Saturday took a while to get rolling. Nobody else wakes up early, but that didn't matter really once I turned on my computer. The new season of Doctor Who premiered, and I managed to catch a live stream from England, which meant I watched it hours before it even aired in America. I've now watched the season premiere episode at least five times. That took up most of my morning. But I was expecting my mom to come soon, so she could drop off my books and we'd maybe catch an early dinner together before she went home. What I wasn't expecting was my dad to come with her. He had been off on a business trip, and he wasn't due back for a few weeks.

Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised and more than a little happy to spend the day with him. We wound up getting a few little doodads for my laptop and then went to dinner. The waitress asked what margarita I wanted (do I look old enough for that yet?) and then asked if we wanted separate checks. Who was she going to split it between? Before they dropped me back off at the dorms we made a quick ice cream run to fill my freezer (the cooler in the nearby market had broken, so Ramesh and I had been unable to previously buy ice cream). Then it was a sad goodbye, but I know they will be back for Parent's Weekend, so it wasn't really that bad of a goodbye.

Not two shakes after I finish putting stuff away does Ramesh come crashing in and asking if I want to make cookies.

Okay? She, a half dozen friends, and I all make our way up to the dorm kitchen, which is on the sixth floor in the lounge. There's a flurry of cocoa powder, PAM spray, and little dough balls flying all over the kitchen, not to mention the volleyball someone brought up to kick around like a soccer ball. I have some very weird friends. the cookies weren't even done baking until almost 10 at night, and by then I had gone to get the ice cream I had just brought back from the store. We made ice cream sandwiches out of the cookies, and then they went off to terrorize the campus while I went to be. IT was late, the monsters. I am not a night person.

Ever.

Sunday, well, today wasn't too eventful. I met Payton and a friend of hers in the dining hall, and wound up touring the campus with them to show her friend around while Ramesh was still sleeping the previous night away. Everyone has gone home for the extended weekend, so even during the day the campus is eerily empty. And hot. It's just going to be too hot for too long, and then it will just suddenly drop in temperature without warning. Ugh. I hate this climate. Anyways, after that I made a smoothie with the brand new blender my parents got me yesterday, worked like a charm. I make one damn good smoothie. And then we sort of chilled. I'm the odd ball in my suite. I like it cold. They don't. I wake up early. They don't. I clean up my half of the room. Ramesh doesn't. BAH.

Oh well. And tomorrow is most definitely homework day. Seeing as I don't have a whole lot to do. And I haven't exactly done a lot of it so far. But oh well. And probably laundry tomorrow as well. Seeing as no one is home in the dorms. I like it.

If no one else is in the dorms at the moment, do quiet hours still go into effect?
