Week 2 Commence!

I have officially survived Week 1 of LARSS 2010. I was super tired on Friday at work but woke up by the time the day ended so we headed out to the local beach for a few hours then chilled for awhile. Saturday, I slept until 7pm then my roommates and I spent four hours waiting for the boys to come over to our apartment before we gave up and went to theirs. We watched TED Talks and stand-up comedians then played games together. I sucked at the game so spent most of it trying to screw other people over. Fun fun.

Sunday was spent first at Virginia Beach. Everyone else swam and had fun and I wandered the cheesy gift shops and enjoyed the air conditioning. Bought a bag and a tee-shirt with beautiful typography. I got a henna tattoo of a pisces symbol and decided I totally want a real tattoo. But of a Greek letter (either pi or phi)–my plan was to get one in henna, but it turns out Greek letters aren’t in high demand there and they didn’t have any available. There was a very attractive large-chested (topless) mermaid available, though. Not exactly NASA-appropriate. Or classy.
We then went home and had some tacos while watching 500 Days of Summer, a very depressing flick. People then got tired and I suggested Trevor not get the boat he’s considering  purchasing.
Our apartment complex apparently has some sort of deal with a local (-ish. it’s in Yorktown, about half an hour away) towing company because they decided to tow Amanda’s car at about 10 last night because it was parked in another person’s spot. No warnings. No notification. Nothing. Just a tow. Fortunately, our neighbor came and let us know it had been towed so we wouldn’t freak out this morning. She and Ryan went to pick up the car today at lunch for a wonderful fee of $120.

Today was the beginning of Safety and Health Awareness Week, so we listened to a guy who’d been burned over 40% of his body tell a depressing story about wasting his life and seeing people who would have been better off dead in the burn unit. Depressing. Then I made a PowerPoint and went to a “protect the environment” lecture. Overall not too bad.

Tonight will probably be some lazing and tomorrow is more SHAW lecture-watching and basically wasting of time. Something smells like cookie dough and now I’m craving it.
