Balance

I planned on crashing pretty early on Friday night.

I ended up talking to the boyfriend, cooking chili, and braiding my hair.

hah!

my first batch

I awoke Saturday afternoon to this:

I made my first oopsie.

I left a candle on over night.

Go ahead and gasp.

It wasn't in a location where it could get knocked over by the cat...I lived.

Moving on.

I spent the afternoon studying for Applied Statistics.

This was the first time I looked at any of this material.

It's really easy to forget about online classes.

I finished the first Chapter and watched the first lecture online.

So far, so good.

It's not too bad.

I took a break to watch Duke defeat Wake Forest.

I figured it was time to go ahead and buy the software we need for our PDAs/iphone.

After that, I got ready to head over to Stesha and Dez's apartment.

They invited me and some others over for dinner.

Stesha would be cooking flank steak, potatoes, and a salad.

I took a detour along the way and bought some notebooks, highlighters, and post-its at Office Depot.

We started out with some chips and a nice dip Nicole brought.

Once the food was ready, we dug in!

sooo gooood

just seeing this picture makes my mouth water all over again

Stesha has mad skills in the kitchen.

After dinner, we all chatted while The Notebook was playing in the background.

Stesha noticed some boys down by the pool building a fire...so we all headed down.

It was 22 degrees outside, but the fire felt wonderful.

One of Stesha's friends from college made delicious cookies from scratch.

Around 11 PM, a compliance officer decided it was a good idea to come down and yell at us.

I've never been talked to so horribly.

She treated us like we were 5 years old.

I'm just going to make a long story short and say we all went back up to their apartment and then headed out.

I got home and went to bed at a decent hour.

I slept in this morning and then worked on my lab write up.

Every Monday morning we have a lab write up of the 3 labs we have done the previous week.

It took me a couple of hours, but I had pleasant interruptions from Katie and Lindsay.

I treated myself to a run after that was complete.

The opossum is still there.

3 miles later, I'm done...and this brings me to now.

I'm going to make some dinner and try to knock out a Quiz in Assessment.
