I really love the weekends. I can sleep in as late as I want to. Today happened to be one of those times. I rolled out of bed at noon. This weekend is Welcome Back Weekend, so there was lots of fun stuff to do. Last night, my friends and I went to Bingo, and although I didn’t win anything I still had fun. It was nice to be able to talk without having old ladies yelling at me. Today I was walking to breakfast and I happened to run into some friends, so I stayed and had some fun at the events. They had a BBQ sponsored by Price Chopper. The burgers were amazing, so beefy and round and delicious. They also had a speed pitch area, so you could see how fast you throw. I threw about 30mph, but in my defense, I am a girl, and I never pitched when I played softball. You could also make your own aquarium, but since I already have a fish, I didn’t decide to do that. They did have these amazing trampoline stunt people, and as it turns out they were finalists for the Olympics. I didn’t even know the trampoline was an Olympic event. Then I went shopping for a few shirts to wear when I am in the classroom for methods. It was a pretty boring day looking back on it.
Thursday night I ended up in a friends apartment and played a little Wii baseball, which I am terrible at in case you were wondering. After that, I met a couple of friends and we went to Margaritas. On Thursdays, you can get Margaritas for $3.50 after 10 o’ clock. So, I had a strong strawberry margarita, followed by sangria and we had about 4 plates of nachos. It was fun to just get out and socialize and take the stress out of life, even if for a bit.
I have yet to renew my license, and apparently liquor establishments have little faith in the US government issued passports, because everywhere I go I always need to show 2 IDs. Speaking of which, one of the stupidest things I have ever seen is those alcohol sites that make you input your birthdate before entering, to check to see if you are of age. Yea, so I’m 21, but if I wanted to, I could be 25 or 26 and they would never know.
The weather here is terrible, it is raining. At least it held off long enough that I could shop during the day. I think I am going to put in a movie and just relax for a bit.
