What A Week!

This week was absolutely insane, and when I use the word insane I mean it in the most positive way possible! Monday I could barely sit still in my only class of the day (dance got cancelled so I was done at 10:20!) because I knew Lauren was en route to SCU!!! I ran from class to meet her outside of Benson and from there on out the week only got better :) I showed off my best friend to anyone and everyone who would meet her and I literally couldn't believe she was finally here in Santa Clara for more than 10 hours. Later that day Connor arrived and the three of us went out to dinner at Pasta Primadora in Santana Row and celebrated the three of us being together again. We came back and had less than an hour to get ready for the Spring Concert...SHWAYZE&IRATION!!! We had an absolute blast; this concert was a lot smaller and more intimate than the fall concert but nonetheless so so fun! We came back in time for the 12:01 countdown and literally it was an experience filled with so much love I can't even describe it. Casey started the countdown at 30 seconds and I was surrounded by so many of the people who I love to death and have made an impact on me these past 8 months at school. While it was weird not being at home and with everyone I grew up with being around all my best friends from school made me not think about missing everyone else. We stayed up and had a dance party before going to bed...we were all passed out by 1:30. The next day I had class for far too long (seeing as it was my birthday haha) and I was absolutely exhausted. When I came back from my first class Lauren and Connor had ventured out and gotten me flowers and balloons which was really sweet. After my second class I came back to a decorated door and Casey, Mariah, Lauren, Connor, and David in my room which, was also decorated!, and even more balloons :) Lauren, Connor, and I went to this place called SkyHigh which is essentially a warehouse filled with trampolines on the floors and the walls. We jumped for an hour, captured many photos and videos, and were back for a late dinner. Everyone was swamped with work so we had a Benson dinner well equipped with homemade cake...Case did me proud hehe. The next day I got out of class at 11:35 and by 2 o'clock Lauren, Connor, and I were on our way to the city. We made our way down to Fisherman's Wharf, wandered the Pier, watched the adorable sealions, ate at Boudin, and finished our day with some sundaes at Ghiradelli Square. It was a great last day seeing as Lauren left Thursday morning. We met some of the gang (Case, Mariah, Emily, David, Noah, Jack) at Jasmine Thai--one of my favorite restaurants and had a celebratory dinner. Not everyone could make it so uh oh, birthday celebrations might have to be extended haha just kidding. I had the greatest birthday ever all thanks to my amazing friends :) While everyone worked on homework etc. Lauren, Connor, and I soaked up all the time we had left together. The three of us went to the premiere of Sex and the City 2 which was amazing. I must admit I prefer the first one but it was so fun to see it at midnight and we had such an animated audience in our theatre which made it all the more amusing. Lauren had an earlyish flight yesterday, and without fail we managed to have another tearful goodbye. I seriously couldn't believe she was here for four days and the time completely flew bye and she was gone. I miss her so much already but on the bright side I get to see her, and everyone else, in 12 days!!! I cannot believe the year is wrapping up so quickly; all the lasts of Freshman year are beginning to ensue and before I know it, I will be a big old sophomore...scary thought!
