I don’t feel very good today. A bit queasy, and overwhelmingly sluggish. I almost fell asleep right in front of Dr. Enge in controls class. Not good.
Tonight we’re going out to dinner. I think I will take a nap beforehand.
(12:30 a.m.)
I had the best evening! It was a girls night, and since the majority of my friends are male — with a few very notable exceptions, of course — it had been a really long time since I had a girls night. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and am convinced we should do it at least once a month, if not every week.
It started when Emily and I headed to dinner at Chili’s. We sat at the bar, did the USA Today crossword puzzle, had drinks, watched the baseball game, and chatted with the bartender and the old man sitting next to us. It was the kind of thing people always think would be fun and random to do, but they never actually do it. Dinner was great.
We then headed back but stopped at Banana Republic on the way. I got a cool green bag/purse thing. I like it. I’ve justified the purchase by deciding that it’s my treat for making it through this rough week.
Anyway, we made it back to Emily’s room, where Susan joined us and we drank daquiris and watched “The Mummy Returns.” Horrible movie. Horrible. You know, so horrible…that it’s actually really funny. We made fun of it endlessly, but watched the entire thing.
When it was over, we talked for a while and then realized all three of us were exhausted. So we said our goodnights and I came home. For the first time in ages, I was home on a Friday night before midnight and I didn’t even feel like a completely asocial loser. Because my evening was awesome.
So that’s my happy story of the day. I’m going to head to bed now, early, and get up at a decent hour tomorrow so that I can do homework all afternoon, which will leave my evening free to go to the movies.
