Wednesday was a lovely day. I woke up and had some oatmeal and did work for a little while. Carol came over and I unloaded the dishwasher while we all chatted a bit. Then we went up to some thrift shops and got me some clothes for my costume. You should know that I’m going to make the best Brad Majors you’ve ever seen. All I need is a newspaper and a Janet <3
Carol got a SWEET lamp base with pretty flowers and stuff etched in metal. Then we went for coffee and bagels and Gramma and I brought home some deliiiicous bread and bagels. I’ve been eating almost nothing but bagels and steak lately. It is maybe not the best idea of diets, but it is sooo yummy. We just ran out of my cereal and yogurt last weekend and I’ve been too busy to shop and we didn’t really need groceries until yesterday and I’m leaving tomorrow, so it wasn’t worth getting a huge tub of yogurt for one day’s use that would then sit in the fridge for a week. We got these excellent bagel twists that have fruit bits in them. I ate so many bagels before I left home.
Thursday I basically finished my homework, OH and got a haircut! Yay! I had been needing one for a long while. I basically can’t stand long hair at all anymore. It needs to be impressively short or it just bothers me. Pat’s been feeling a lot better physically, even if some of his meds are giving him nightmares. We talked a bunch, which was fun, then watched our nightly shows. I then stayed up far too late and had to wake up for the train in the morning.
Today I woke up at 7, ran out of the house, and got on the train at 8:15am. The train ride down was lovely for a bit, but then the fog rolled in so I watched Stephen Fry’s latest performance. I actually adore a lot of things about Stephen Fry, and probably in part because he is so fantastically in love with the English language. I sat next to another girl who had never been on the train before, but knew Portland really well, so she told me a few places to go. Nic was late to pick me up, then we walked to his dorm and dropped off my stuff. We hung out a bit, he showed me the new Kirby game, which is very cute, then we went to the food stands nearby to get lunch since we were both starving.
I got pad thai for lunch since I was craving it at the time, and Nic got a sandwich. I’m excited for all the food I’m going to eat here since we don’t eat out a ton at home. We came back to the room and Nic went to class and took a test while I watched some 30 Rock on his Netflix. Turns out? That show is really hilarious. We watched a TON of that this afternoon, then went shopping for an air mattress and pillow for me at a few department stores. We dropped that off at the dorm when we finally found what we were looking for, and then made a run to Safeway for dinner items. We made burritos for dinner and watched more 30 Rock, then Nic’s friend, Kt came over and we chit chatted for a long while, before deciding to watch this old Mike Meyers movie, So I Think I Married An Axe Murderer. It was pretty funny. I’m about to die since I got three hours of sleep last night and I’ve had two cups of coffee to keep me going today and I’m crashing epically. Gnight people!
