I don’t know why I never update my diary over the weekends. It’s not like I don’t have internet access at home or anything. At work, writing something is part of my morning routine, just like drinking coffee, checking cnn.com for news, checking cnnsi.com for sports, checking my email, and cleaning up my desk to find what I need to work on that day.
Doug, Gil, and Rich are back from vacation, and Ray comes back tomorrow. Though it is nice to have my group whole again, I must say that it was fun last week with four out of the eight people in my group on vacation…especially since the four of us who were here are all under the age of 25. We have fun. Friday afternoon, we watched the launch and then came back to the office to play some foam basketball. After about 10 minutes of that, we stopped, kinda looked at each other, and said “well, time to go home!” I really love my group this co-op tour. They are awesome, and make work much more fun.
Anyway. My weekend was fairly quiet, but fun. I like having two roommates even more than I liked having one! Ron and Phil and I hang out in the apartment and just talk, or cook (!), or listen to Phil play the guitar. He is really good. Yesterday he taught me the E chord, so now I know five chords: G, D, C, A, and E, and I’m getting better at changing smoothly between them. I cut my fingernails, and that helped a lot.
Yesterday the three of us went to the driving range, and they taught me how to hit a golf ball. I ripped a nice blister open on my palm (geez, between learning guitar and golf and running into couches, my hands and feet are taking a beating), but hey, I’m a natural golfer! I’m the next Tiger Woods! Hmm. Well, I was able to hit the ball off the tee more consistently than Ron, even if the ball only went 100-125 yards, and so I was happy.
Last night I got to go out to eat with Daniel and Courtney and Alisa and a few others. I thought this summer was going to be lonely in the sense that I wasn’t going to have all the visitors that I got last summer…but that hasn’t turned out to be the case at all. I love visitors!
