the trip to dave and buster’s last night was fun, but geez, i just can’t stay out like i used to. by 11:30, i was starting to fade. by 12:30, we were on our way home and by 1:30, i was in my bed dead to the world. what happened to being able to stay up until the wee hours?!? i’m 24 years old and i just can’t party anymore. i guess getting up at 7 every morning to go to work will do that to you.
today we went to rodizio grill for lunch. it’s a brazilian steakhouse, meaning there is a salad bar to eat from, and then servers just start coming around the restaurant with big hunks of meat on sticks–sirloin, pork, ham, roast, chicken, you name it. it was quite good, and i left thoroughly stuffed. becca invited me to come to the movies with her to see signs, but i declined. i sort of implied to jason that i’d go see the movie with him, and i could have called him today, but after the big lunch i just felt like hanging out in my apartment and not doing much. i am full and sleepy. actually, i am going to unpack some things though, so i won’t be totally unproductive.
james and chrissy didn’t end up going to san antonio this weekend because chrissy isn’t feeling great, so maybe i’ll get to see them for lunch tomorrow or something. that’d be nice.
yesterday i got the stub from my first paycheck that will be deposited on tuesday. it’s only half a paycheck since i started work in the middle of a pay period, but the good news is that my salary is actually higher than i thought it was! not by any enormous amount, but not by a mere hundred bucks either. that was a nice surprise.
i also got the stanford banner i ordered for my office. rich has his michigan flag, george has his texas flag, becca has ordered a georgia tech one that will be delivered soon (for us to share), and i got a stanford one. i love my group.
