My First College Weekend (so far, at least)

First Friday night, yeah! So Kyle, Jessica, and I decided Resfest would be lame, but we would check it out anyways. On our way up to Rendezvous for dinner, we passed Regan, who wanted to watch Eagle Eye at the AMC Theater. We were hungry as hell, especially me since I never eat that late, so we decided to watch it later. Rendezvous was ok, it was pretty much Panda Express with a little less bang. Afterwards, we just wanted to skip Resfest and watch the movie, but Regan said the next showing would be too late, so it was just the three of us. We had time to kill, so we wandered around Westwood for a while. We went into aaahhh's, or however many a's and h's it has, and looked at costumes and stuff. I bought a blue cushion for my ass since this hard chair I'm sitting on is evil. Well not anymore, thank you ass-saving cushion! We were going to hit up Diddy Riese but the line was ridiculously long (as expected) so we went to Pinkberry instead. At first I was like wtf, they only have three frozen yogurt flavors? I'm so used to Yogurt World with its myriad of flavors and toppings, but Pinkberry was very limited in that sense. It was GOOD, though. It actually tasted like yogurt. I got the Original with Cap'n Crunch. Yum.

When we finally got to the theater, after getting slightly lost a few times, we decided to watch Burn After Reading instead. It was funny, and afterwards, my thoughts on it were just wtf. Seriously. Then we came back and Regan wanted an escort home from Hedrick (wtf?) so we did that. Not like she needed it. We were walking around Westwood dodging sleeping hobos on the sidewalk and she was just walking from one residence hall to another. It was a late night.

Anyways, today was a fun-filled adventure full of new experiences, I must say. I woke up expecting to have breakfast at like 8:00 or so since D7 and D8 were leaving for the buses at 9:15, but the dining hall didn't even open until 9:30! Bullshit. Good thing my roommates and I stockpiled fruit in our fridge. When we got down to the buses, I realized I didn't have my bus ticket with me. Fuck. So I sprinted back to Dykstra, up six levels of stairs to my room, and back. Luckily I made it before we even got on the bus. Woohoo. The bus ride was pretty much uneventful, until our bus driver decided to ignore the advice of a traffic director person and signs saying buses can't pass on a certain (mostly private) road. We went up this steep, winding road with a bunch of really expensive houses, almost hitting a car going the opposite way, and with everybody scared we were going to hit something. Eventually the driver killed the engine trying to go around a really sharp curve, so we had to walk the rest of the way. Luckily one of my floormates is from Pasadena and she showed us the way to the Rose Bowl. It was freaking hot.

The game was fun. You should know that I'm not a big sports person, but I was cheering my head off and getting all into it. It was really fun! No, we didn't win, but whatever. The score was much closer than last week, and much much closer than last last week. It's an improvement. It was freaking hot though, so I had to give in and pay $3.50 for bottled water because the line for the drinking fountain was ridiculous.

The bus ride home was kind of horrendous. The seats were all filled so I had to stand and hold onto one of those rope things hanging from the rails. I was afraid I was going to fall anyways, but I didn't, so yeah. Halfway along the route, the bus driver turned off the a/c for some stupid reason and it was so stuffy in there. Oh yeah, randomly some stupid lady on the freeway came to a complete stop, got out of her car, grabbed her purse from her trunk, then started up again, all right in front of us. What the hell. Who does that, much less on the freeway? It wasn't even bumper to bumper traffic or anything.

Sooo then we got back, I took a shower, then had dinner, which brings me here. Gosh that was a great dinner. I was starving since for breakfast I only had two apples and a banana, and my lunch was (a very expensive) bbq and rice bowl at the Rose Bowl... that was like 6 hours prior, too. I'm going to bed early tonight for sure, I'm already super tired now. I could probably fall asleep right now, but I don't want to be a loser and I should get in some reading or something so I can call this day at least somewhat productive. On second thought, fuck that. I have all of tomorrow to read. And do laundry.
