So the last week+ has been crazy busy and has flown by with unexpected speed. Wednesday was Cinco de Mayo and the school was buzzing with excitement and festivities. Benson, our cafeteria, was filled with decorations and Mexican food left and right. We celebrated with margaritas, churros, and other assortments of Hispanic food that was absolutely delicious! That night we all hung out in my room, which we usually don't do, but we had a blast! The rest of the week passed with relative ease and I didn't stay in my room from Tuesday night up until last night...Jules was out of town and Jacqueline's roommate Sam was gone so Jack and I bunked up so we didn't get too lonely. Thursday night we had a very relaxing evening of just hanging out in the dorms and ended up staying up and talking very late in to the night which none of us expected. To me it was completely worth it. I am a firm believer that nights like those are ones you take with you for longer than you expect and help to form tighter relationships that are more firmly rooted. On a less sentimental level, Saturday was absolutely wild. There was a big "Ocho de Maples" block party that was so much fun! We were out of the dorms by 11 and didn't come back until 4:30ish. We were ready to leave for Nana and Gaffers at 5:30 and the girls and I had a lovely 24 hours there. We were all so tired from the previous week and crashed by 9pm and didn't get up for breakfast until quarter til 10! Much needed R&R was gained from that day away. We drove into town, wandered around, called all of our Moms for Mother's Day and were back to campus by 4 in order to get all our work done.
The year is evidently winding down...round two of midterms are more or less over and more of my friends than I would care to count are updating statuses etc. saying they are already home or homeward bound. While I am so jealous, I also can't imagine packing up and leaving Santa Clara right this instant. However, I know the rest of the year is going to fly by. WEDNESDAY LAUREN WILL BE HERE...yes this is finally happening!!! I can't contain my excitement even if it is for one night. Her and Jordan are driving up as soon as she finishes her last final and I cannot wait to see them! Then Curtis will be here Thursday night which will be another exciting visitor as well. This weekend is Bay to Breakers, a week from Thursday I will be home, two weeks from tomorrow is my birthday and Lauren will hopefully be back for that as well!, and then after that only two more weeks until summer!!! I'm letting the good times roll, always remembering my camera to capture the memories, and loving life in sunny California :)
