over
the break is over. sob. i guess there are other breaks on the horizon, so this is not a bad thing entirely. also, if this break never got over, how would i ever get home?! what a scary thought! so then glad i must be.
the last third of the break was awesome. friday was spent with a. the day started with tea and rusk, then the shopping center, spice hut in menlo park, the university art store, work at coupa, and finally dinner at cp (with a's best friends ;). saturday was a's birthday, and started again with tea and rusk. there was a surprise party to look forward to later in the evening, and it made the day most exciting :). a and i went for a walk in the evening, while the house filled itself up with a's friends. we returned (after getting lost in the wilderness and rushing back home) to find everyone quietly sitting around the living room, ready to scream "SURPRISE" when a entered. oh, what joy to pounce on an unsuspecting soul like that :D. it was the most successful surprise ever (that i can remember being pulled off :). dinner was at pasta?. (and boy, am i pleased to find that they custom-make risottos.)
since today was the last day of the break, and i had an essay submission tomorrow, it had to be ultra productive. after many many hours of work, i was done with my 3-page summary of a 100-page reading. the 100 pages were read early this morning. sigh. if only i were this productive every day. but i promise that every day until the 15th of december is going to be just this productive. or at least half. (starbucks is a great place to sit and work at, especially when you have good music and (almost) noise-canceling headphones.)
i'm ready to face the world tomorrow morning. world, are you ready to face me?
