Note to self: unless in very good state of mind, never ever call Atlanta friends on Friday afternoons. Why? Because they are inevitably either already together, or making plans to get together, and then I am disappointed that I can’t join them. If I were not so tired, I wouldn’t be disappointed. However, it has been a long week, and so I was slightly sad I couldn’t join them all for dinner.
That said, I am quite excited about my own plans for tonight! It’s finally the night of the Viennese Ball! I have my dress, I have my shoes, and I am ready to waltz and swing and polka and tango and just generally dance the night away. I will post pictures tomorrow hopefully.
Cecile sat down next to me in class today and said the cutest thing. “Good morning Sarah. Last night at 2 a.m. someone knocked on my door, but I was asleep so I didn’t answer it. What if it was the man of my dreams?” The comment itself is funny enough, but now picture it said by a diminutive and always smiling girl who is half French and half Japanese, looks more Japanese than French, but has the most adorable French accent ever. It was great.
My friend Steve got engaged on Wednesday! This is the same Steve that is in my E206 lab group, where we’re building Phatman, which I posted pics of a while ago. His fiance, Fiona, is earning her M.B.A. in France this year, and she came to visit for a long weekend. And he proposed on Wednesday night! Steve is such a terrific guy, and Fiona seems great as well. It is so exciting!
Anyway. Off to shower and hopefully take a quick nap before dinner and the ball.
