Solitude…

This past weekend was my glorious weekend of solitude. Roommates left late in the afternoon for DC and I proceeded to spend the next several days (until 8.45 Sunday night) lazing. I slept, webcam chatted with Brandon, laid on the floor (in various positions) either listening to music or silence, watched some television, and pretty much enjoyed doing nothing. Saturday afternoon, Trevor and Jake came over and sort of entertained me for a couple hours, which was a nice break from the solitude. Watched the US lose soccer to Ghana. I kept thinking the announcer was saying “gonads”, but it turns out he was saying “Ghanaians”. lol British accents.

Roommates got home on Sunday night, so we went to have a welcome back dinner thing for them and Ryan, who has been on vacation for a week. Trevor made coconut shrimp curry (which Ryan said smells like Engineering since all the Indian engineers always smell like curry. lolracism) that I didn’t try because I dislike coconut and shrimp and spicy foods make me sick. Courtney brought Trevor her keyboard from home and he ‘regaled’ us with various songs, including Elton John. woot. [enthusiasm level of woot: 4 of 10].

Today, we still have nothing to do, but we’re supposed to be getting a new intern in our office next week named Alexis. She’s a high school student. Very exciting. Tonight is belly dancing (I’ve officially decided to switch from swing) and tomorrow is possibly Busch Gardens (I haven’t decided whether to go or not).

Over the weekend, Brandon revealed that his dad is sponsoring a trip for him to Hampton to come visit me, so he’ll be over here sometime in the next couple weeks. YAY!

This is pretty much the most boring update yet.

I was planning on purchasing a camera, but have yet to send my checks home so I have to wait until I get money in my account to buy one. But! until then, I have a lovely image of a sculptural interpretation of the NASA Meatball found here on Center:
