wishing for the weekend

this week seems to be crawling compared to this weekend. but then again, i had a jam packed, fun filled, exciting weekend. so i'm sure that doesn't help. and this week seems to be a little bit stressful because i've had to do a lot more school work for this week compared to the rest of the semester. but it's only tuesday and i'm already wishing it to be the weekend.

i guess i should start off by telling you about my weekend. my grandparents were in town (mom's side) so friday, i went to lunch with them. that night, nikki came over and we got all dressed up. then we went to a party that my neighbor's across the hall were having. my neighbor scott turned 21 so it was a pretty big deal. it was a night filled with mango margaritas (a whole bowl of them to be exact), dominating beer pong (go us!!), dancing, and a lot of laughing lol oh and how could i forget about our interesting adventure to cookout. wow it was a great night.

saturday morning, i was woken up by a phone call from my house at 10am (not pleasant after an entire night of drinking). i didn't answer but then listened to the message. "hey rachel, it's dad. just wanted to let you know mom, granny, and poppy are on their way over to your apartment so hopefully you wake up soon. love you." GOOD MORNING! i was up in a flash and poor nikki had to help me stuff everything in my closet to make it look somewhat neat and presentable lol so much for sleeping in. so then my grandparents came to visit the apartment and then i went back to my house so i could spend some time with them. i had to take a nap in the afternoon so i could actually function for the rest of the day and survive another crazy night. after my nap, my grandparents took my family to the chop house in cary, a nice steakhouse. the food was really good and it was a lot of fun. after dinner, i drove back to my apartment where nikki and i got ready and headed over to a friend's place. we spent the rest of the evening much like the previous one (except i was DD so no drinking for me, which was perfectly fine)....a loooot of dancing lol and laughing. and another adventure to cookout.

sunday, i actually got to sleep in...a little. but it was such a pretty day out. so instead of writing my paper (that was due sunday night), i went to the park with nikki, dave, and nick. it was around 70 degrees so it was perfect for a nice hike. except nikki said we were going to the park to "throw around a frisbee and enjoy the weather" so i wore flip flops. yeah we went for a hike. so i hiked in flip flops. and i survived!!! even after all the jokes everyone made. oh well. but it was still a lot of fun. the rest of sunday was spent working vigorasly on my paper and some other homework. and i found out elizabeth was back, so i talked to her for a while. but anyway, it was a busy but fun weekend.

now it's tuesday. i had a test today. i have a paper (that was due sunday which i got an extension on lol) due at some point, i have an interview at 8am on thursday morning, music hw, sociology homework, catch up on sociology reading, and i'm sure there is more. but needless to say, i'm sooo ready for this weekend. it's gonna be another fun one :) and it's valentine's day! i don't have a date (for the first time in a few years actually) but i'm perfectly fine with that. nikki is throwing a party, so i'm pretty excited! i'm just ready to get all this homework stuff over with.

enjoy the rest of your week...i'm sure i'll be up here before then though!!
