May Day

It's been another long and busy weekend for me. On Friday morining for my presentation in LA 253, I had to discuss and explain my design to 2 5th years and 3 professors. They liked my design, I guess and the fifth years appreciated my presentation. Quote, "the lack of ums was great!" Who knew? My plants class for the day had been cancelled, so Jackie and I headed directly to the Gym where we ran for a half an hour then played raquetball. My new raquet is very tennis-like so i had to play with the Bandido, and probably will until my wrists are strong enough to play with my own. :) Later, I headed over to Jackie's with the Larc girls and we had a wonderful potluck dinner with salad potstickers, fruit salad and cheesy potatoes. MMMmmm, we then had cupcakes for dessert. The night went quicky and we only watched one movie, Life as a House. It was very, well chick flicky. The main character boy was apparently a duplicate of Jackies brother, so she identified well with the punk :) In the morning Anna and I headed out early tio hit a garage sale of a graduationg Larc student. I bought a chinese painting set and anna bought some circle templates. Apparently the girl, Amber is heading to Florida to work for imagineering. They loved her senior project of the biodome on Mars and will be hiring her in the next year.
Later when i came bnack to the apartment, it was a little smoky. I cold smell meat so i didn't care much. But then i heard brenda scream, its on fire! So, i got to use the fire extinguisher for the first time and then our room fire alarm went off, but all was well, caus eours was the only one, the fire was out, and the artichokes were ok. So Brenda ended up ordering pizza, and we headed to the movie a little later.
The movie, was a whole other story. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe was filled with an odd sense of humor that I absolutely enjoyed. It makes me wish i had read the book first, but then i would be like those idiots who say the book was better, but not know, it was a radio show first. meh. what can you do? We went to Bali's for Ice cream afterwards and then played poker for a little before bed, i did not win, but i did well, and there was no money, so no worries Mom.
Now, today, again I will be busy. I have two midterms to study for, a much needed grocery trip and two loads of laundry, and i will not have my cell with me, as it is charging, so good luck. I'm off.
