you got designer shades just to hide your face...

these past two days were really fun.

yesterday, i woke up at 9:15 am and it was the best sleep over. katie and i met up at 9:30 to stop at brewed awakening on euclid before heading to our staff meeting at 10. then we had our team meetings and team 2 aka team clifton aka team neon manatees discussed college night on tuesday with a post game of capture the flag (with a pizza party for the winner) and/or karaoke for the non-competitive. then al, jess, and i attempted to burn my pictures onto a cd for willem, but to no success so we ate instead. better use of time if i say so myself. i had the salad with spicy lentils and tofu. yum. then i tried troubleshooting the pictures again... but this time successfully. as i went down to drop off the cd, i stopped by natalie and keara's program of painting. i painted abstract works of the view of campus from the asa office and a weird piece of the view when you look out the airplane to see the wing. you might be able to tell if you try really hard. then i chilled in my room and uploaded pictures onto this blog before meeting john in the office for a walk and a yogurtland sample. the strawberry was delish, but the green apple was a little too tart for my taste. then we met up with al for dinner and i had the same thing as lunch. nothing spectacular. i had office duty from 6:30-8:30 and nothing special happened. ignacio had study hall. jean david and jeremy inquired about their study hall and where to buy skateboards. dan called and we arranged for lunch when i went into sf. then i went to the gym for awhile before showering and dancing with natalie at the 80s dance. it was hella fun with mary as the dj. the boys were wallflowers, but it was cool to go back to them every once in awhile.

today, i woke up at 6:30 and then again at 7 STARVING. i finally met up with katie at 8:30 for lunch and everyone met us there. at 9:15 we had our pre-excursion meeting. then we loaded the buses and went to fisherman's wharf. katie, jess, natalie and i went to boutin and had coffee and clam chowder from a bread bowl and my pb&j sandwich. my shoes were BRIGHT pink and they were a beacon for whoever was looking for me. i met dan and erin at pier 41 around noon and we walked to boutin by the big touristy fisherman's wharf sign (where the pier numbers go up). i had a $5 cup of coffee and then i met up with the group at pier 33. willem and i chilled before we boarded the alcatraz ferry for 2:20 departure. the tour was really awesome, and beautiful but SOOO WINDY. i had hannah, ellen, lu, qi, mia, yiqing, and elsa in my group. we got onto the ferry around 4something and hungrily searched for dinner. katie, al and mary went to boutin, where dan, erin and i had previously gone while jess and i went to in N out burger. they only had vegetarian options of the burger without the patty so i walked around searching for options. i chanced upon a little niche on taylor and base and bought myself a crab sandwich on sourdough bread. by the time i got back, everyone else who was at in N out left but clifton so the three of us ate before jess, mary and al joined us for milkshakes. the neapolitan milkshake jess got was mad good. then we scurried to pier 33 to load the buses (but not before i chatted with jen, which was a great catch up session!).

and if you haven't watched the rock, do yourself a favor and WATCH IT. it's about alcatraz, chemical warfare and sean connery. it is quite the perfect storm.
