UCR Visit

• met Kane at the Lunar Festival in downtown Riverside, which was really awesome
• watched this samurai thing and then sumo wrestling which was quite interesting…haha
• played this $3 carnival game where you got to choose a random bag and keep whatever was in it…got these bubbles in the form of a creepy woman with a whistle hat! Can’t believe I spent $3 for this LOL

• hung around Kane’s dorm
• caught up with each other and what’s been going on in our lives…fun stuff :P
• ate in the dining hall…MAN I KINDA MISS COLLEGE FOOD! And it was karaoke night which was really cute :3
• recorded really dorky videos with Kane
• high off exhaustion and laughter…everything was so funny o_O
• set alarm for 9, but laid around in bed until 10ish
• left around 10:30

This whole visit made me miss college life even more. Even though there are some obvious differences between UCR and my own college, there are a lot of things that are consistent from college to college; how no one is out and about on Sunday mornings, the food, the dorms, the spontaneity, the on-campus convenience store. After spending a night back in college land, I know for sure that I’m ready to get back into it…one more week of break!

Thanks for being such a great host, Kane! I hope you do end up coming to Oregon someday! :)

P.S. Waffle Sticks.

Today was probably one of the best days I’ve had all break

• woke up around 9:30
• errands: Walgreens, donut store, delivering donut to James, Panera Bread, post office
• mailed birthday gifts to Rosenbaum
• did some housework
• boss from post office emailed me my schedule for spring semester…working over 9 hours each week. Last semester I only worked 7 hours a week! Oh well; more money, eh?
• picked up Daniel, John, Abbott, Jeremy, and Alex
• went to The Habit for lunch (SO GOOD!)
• bought vegetables to donate to the Bunny Museum
• drove out to the Bunny Museum
• excited about the museum, only to find a board on the porch saying it was closed today due to unforeseen events :(
• drove back to Arcadia
• dropped Daniel off
• went back to John’s house
• played brawl and ate yummeh food
• walked to Camino Grove to launch this rocket Jeremy and Alex had
• took forever to figure out how to work it
• Abbott and I just went on swings during it; Abbott wanted to sit LOL
• finally figured it out…IT WAS SO AWESOME!! 400 feet high or so
• launched it twice :)
• said bye to Abbott :(
• drove John/Jeremy/Alex to high school for John to pick up his horn for a pep band gig tonight
• said bye to John :(
• drove Alex and Jeremy back home, said bye to them :(
• picked Mom up at metro station right on time

Today was jampacked full of things, and overall pretty tiring, but it’s got to be one of the best days I’ve had all break. I felt productive, happy, and surrounded by old friends as opposed to just hanging around the house for the larger part of the day. When I hang out with John/Jeremy/Alex/Abbott, I feel like a bro HAHA. They don’t treat me like a girl like “oh you can’t help with the rocket ‘cause you’re a girl!” (although I’m pretty sure they may have made sexist jokes against me throughout the day out of good nature…I think lolol) and let me feel included. It’s always so nice :)
