so i know that i said i would write about my weekend about, oh, three days ago, but i just haven't felt like it. not because it wasn't fun or anything, but i'm just not in the mood. i'm just sort of meh, i guess.

but, because i said i would, i will try.

so i got to cornell on friday after driving in the driving rain (haha!) for two hours and nearly going ballistic because i nearly got killed on the interstate due to no fault of my own and spent a little bit with cheryl. who got all teary when i walked into the door. yikes. but it was nice, and familiar, and i liked that. then i went to nikki's baby shower. i never knew that people played games at baby showers, but they do. you learn something every day. it was a nice baby shower, it was a surprise so that was really cool. so then i just snuck into sodexho and hung out with people at tenth ave, and then went to the bars. i got to see a lot of people and most of them asked me if i was going to axetoberfest.

on saturday i ate a chicken quesadilla (and nearly felt sick from all of the grease. one thing i definitely do NOT miss) and then spent the afternoon not really doing anything. i went to cr with natasha because she had to get a metronome, and then we went to the lincoln later for dinner. (so good!) then we went to axetoberfest. but i was not the only alum there, so it was okay. (and i don't mean lame alum either, ben merrill was there.) i definitely had fun and i got to see even more people like the wonderful sarah goldman. it was really cold though, especially on the rides to and from the farm. we were in the back of a truck and the wind blowing was FREEZING!

so anyway, i didn't go to the bars that night but just went back to bowman and went to bed. sunday i did even less, as i recovered from the night before. then i went with michele to a bbq that the delphis were having at tenth ave and ate some really delicious food before coming back home. it was a nice weekend, and i was so glad to get away from home and to see everyone that i did. i miss everyone even more though, i think, now.

but it was weird because right when i got home was when this impact world tour thing was starting, so my dad asked me if i would go with him. i couldn't really say no, plus it was the pacific islanders dance night which i thought might be cool. i handled the testimonial bit okay, but then at the very end the guy said something about the sanctity of marriage being threatened and some other stuff and i got very uncomfortable. i was relieved that my dad asked if i wanted to leave at that point. i did enjoy the dancing though, and i really liked the maori dancing because if you've ever seen whale rider, some of that was what they did. so that was pretty cool.

but since then, yeah. mostly just hanging out at home trying to keep warm. still no job, but a lot of places are hiring for the holiday season so even if i get something temporary that would be nice. of course, everyone will know when i finally do find something.
