This week has been brutal. My acute senioritis is worse than ever before, meaning lots and lots of procrastination. Some professors are just not that great at teaching, making me not excited to do the work. At the same time, I just signed up for the LSAT in June. Andd I'm working more than 20 hours a week at the same time. Wheeee...
So despite the amount of work I had to do, going out with friends yesterday was awesome. Definitely needed to unwind!
My guest for the weekend, Jamie, has left me to go back to California! :( On her last day, I took her on a whirlwind tour of random Seattle sites - Gasworks Park, Fremont Troll, Kerry Park, Bruce Lee's grave, the gum wall, Pike Place, etc. I had a lot of fun with her, and I hope she had a good time! I hope she comes back, because the fog this weekend tried hard to keep her (or anyone) from seeing...anything. But overall, it was so good to see her again after so long and to reminisce over our adventures together in Europe. Like...
- trying to get past the English/Italian language barrier in Rome by pronouncing 'McDonald's' a dozen different ways to Italian security guards to find our way
- escaping a crazy couchsurfing host in Rome who almost made us cry, definitely left us hungry, and probably almost abandoned us to sleep on the streets
- walking through the dream that Florence was with gelato in one hand and pizza in the other
- waking up at dawn just to climb St. Peter's Basilica before everyone else
- randomly wandering into a line at Notre Dame to kiss the Crown of Thorns
- standing in a crowd of very conservative, anti-immigration people just to catch a glimpse of Sarkozy and to shake his hand
- marveling at the feet of Michelangelo's David for about an hour
- food, food, food - hot chocolate, macarons, salads, crêpes, ice cream, gelato, pizza, thai food, french onion soup, pasta, bruschetta, etc.
What a great weekend :) Here's to more adventures together, hopefully very soon!
