Firstly, I should say that because I am in the "Professional Year" of my program we have observation days on Fridays, and because there are only five observation days in a 13-week semester I have no class on these days until the observations begin. With this free Friday and the addition of mid-term break on this Thanksgiving weekend, I actually had five days off!
On Friday I actually slept in too much and felt sick for most of the day. So I just lazed around watching Pretty Little Liars (PLL), which is definitely one of my most favorite shows!
By the time I got around to being presentable after watching PLL, Tim was finished class and we went out for supper with some friends, then watched the movie The Ides of March. I have to say I was disappointed with the movie. My original thinking was "Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, how can it not be good?!", but it was pretty bland to say the least. I'm not interested in politics, but I recall seeing something in the previews that I thought would make it an interesting movie. Guess I was wrong. :(
After the movie Tim and I met up with a friend and went to a coffee house that had been influenced by YC 2011. A few bands played, a few CDs were given away and a nice bit of coffee was consumed for the wee hours of the morning.
Saturday 11a myself and a couple of friends took it upon ourselves to hike the Signal Hill trail. It was somewhat a challenge in the freezing-cold wind, but it was also great! My first time completing that trail -- will not be my last!
The rest of Saturday afternoon was well-spent trying to bring up my core temperature after our hike. A successful endeavor once I joined some friends for a bowl of delicious turkey soup! The evening was spent relaxing and chatting.
Sunday morning consisted of MOSAIC, then a delicious turkey supper at Tim's sisters place. Drooooool. We capped off the evening with a visit to my favorite coffee shop! Yummy cheesecake and cappuccino!
Monday was wonderful! Homemade waffles with Tim and Jessie for brunch, followed by a few more episodes of PLL! Then I went swimming with my roommate. IN A LANE. Be proud people, remember this post? Swimming was followed by big, cuddly blankets, snacks and Mean Girls. Great times with the roomie! :)
And well, Tuesday I did homework. But after such a fun weekend I should put a little time into the books, right?
Also, I should mention only one of the above photos are mine. Hooray for Google images!
