The Longest Weekend Ever!

Alright, so this weekend started off with a bang, er, sore throat, cough, runny nose, and nausea...aka some sort of flu strain. I went to the doctor and she advised that because this "most likely was a mild strain of the H1N1," I should either quarantine myself in my room or, better yet, get off campus if possible. So, that's what I did. I jumped into my car and headed back to the mountains for some R&R and good quality study time with my precious Bio 101 book.

But...the moment I was feeling better (around Friday afternoon), I started to get that good old Chapel Hill itch and needed to come home quickly. I made plans to leave Saturday, hoping to avoid the traffic nightmare that was Chapel Hill on a home foot ball gameday. My attempts were to no avail and while I arrived on campus promptly at 3:00, I did not exit my car until 4:00, having parked at CR's apt. The rest of the day was spent watching weird sci-fi movies w/ RB @ Newman, including Delecatessen and Mad Max (though I wouldn't really consider the later to be a "sci-fi" movie, but still pretty interesting).

When the game was over, I went grocery shopping w/ CR and then headed back to the apt for another movie, Disney's The Sword and the Stone. This is still one of my personal favorites, despite what some people might think...but c'mon, who can deny the adorableness of the squirrel love??


Anyways, movie night turned into sleepover and in the morning, we all made breakfast. Poached eggs and pancakes. It was quite delicious. Even so, the time came to return home for some more study time, so I headed back to the dorm and studied, etc until it was time for Mass. After Mass, we all gathered for dinner at the apt and I made chicken and it was served with the most facinating combination of whole-wheat goldfish, fruit cups, and pepermint patties. As the night continued, we found oursleves in a Sweeney Todd sing-a-long with the original stage show soundtrack (God, I love Angela Lansbury!).

So, now today...I made breakfast and studied some biology. I need to do laundry, take out the trash, and still do a lot of work. Oh yeah...I'm out of minutes until Sept. 11, so if you all could possibly not call, or if you do, leave a message and understand that I'm not answering, or text me because despite what I said eariler, I do have texts left for the month. Anyways, that's how you should attempt to reach me.

Happy Labor Day!
