I felt overdue for a blog post. I haven't really been up to too much though. I've been working on more schoolwork lately as the end of the semester is in sight (ahhhhh!). We hosted a pajama party this past weekend, which was kind of quiet but fun and obviously very relaxed. I don't know if I mentioned before that we've moved the extra double mattress from the garage up to our living room for extra lounging as of the past few weeks, ashley, jason, and amy added their 4 singles also, so it was like one huge bed on the floor of our living room. We even had feathers and most of us had funny pj's (though I was cheap and just bought some slippers).
Katie's birthday was yesterday as well, so we went out to dinner at one of the places across the street from us. There are a bunch of restaurants practically out our front door, but we really haven't gone to any of them since we would all rather save money on food and spend it on travel. Going out was nice though - we splurged since it was such a rare occasion and I got a steak with mashed sweet potatoes and green beans. yumm! Right after dinner, we picked up the banana bread muffins we had made (because Katie had said she didn't want cake or anything, but she's always talking about how much she loves banana bread, so I couldn't help it) and headed up the hill to Desperate Mondays. Apparently, as we found out at the end of the night, they aren't actually doing that promotion anymore - lame! We still got our automatic discount though since Matt didn't even know and I feel like at this point the manager/owners pretty much know us. Yet another delicious cocktail (passionfruit!), tv drama, and a couple muffins later, we said goodnight and headed home. Come to think of it, we never properly sang to Katie or had her blow out a candle... hmmm.
Today was a "farewell ceremony" through the school, which kind of made me panic a little because while we still have some time, we are only a month away from being done with everything school-related, and being home isn't too far removed from that. I'm pretty good about living in denial about that sort of thing though, so no worries. It was pretty simple - some people talked, they gave us a photo, certificate, and alumni card (who knows what it does for me), and of course some free food.
