back at school. i didn't realize how much i missed everyone until i got back here last night and ran into matt. i was supposed to be studying for my chem quiz and he was supposed to be reading for dimensions of art. instead we spent the better part of an hour catching up on the past weekend, filling one another in on the fam and friends and former significant others. around 9 i deemed chem a lost cause and headed over to steve's to watch family guy. he got roped into playing poker - i think i am finally understanding how it works! his friends crack me up, good times all around. (except for him, because he lost ten bucks.)
the rest of my thanksgiving break was just as wonderful as the beginning. i slept an average of 13 hours each day and was able to see so many people. rye and i hung out saturday afternoon - visited his grandparents (they're so adorable) because they hadn't seen him since he left last august and then christmas shopped a bit. per usual, we ended by sitting in the borders cafe, sipping on holiday lattes (so much for me trying to give up caffeine, i guess!), counting down the days until his triumphant return to c-town, and chatting about everything and nothing all at once. it absolutely sucks that he's gone again now.
saturday night i caught up with andy, will, and mark for dinner at el tapatio. afterwards we relaxed back at casa de lonardo, and i stopped in to say hi to his delightful parents and equally delightful puppy. will and mark had to pack to return to school on sunday, so andy and i opted to skip seeing a movie and hit up federal hill. we split tiramisu at caffe dolce vita and dished on the past few months. it was so wonderful to see him, it really had been far too long!
sunday i slept late and studied a bit for chem. my parents bought an artificial tree this year, so we put that up as a family. i find artificial trees inexplicably depressing, but i figure it's okay because i don't have to see it again until the 19th.
now i'm off to read for civ. it's not even so bad. i'm almost enjoying augustine. who knew, right? plus the weather is amazing today - it must be around 60 degrees or so - i'm totally rocking the flip flops. this day put me in the mood for some g love and special sauce.
i can't rest til i find satisfaction
