Due to harsh schedules on both our parts, this past weekend was the only weekend I could see Khine before finals. Unfortunately that meant missing ZBTahiti, the 2nd of only 2 big parties a year. It was deff worth it thought, im sure. We did a lot of stuff. Friday involved dinner at a Mediteranian restaurant, Basil's, which makes really good cheese steaks and freaken sweet fries btw, a long walk/romantic evening by the pond, and a completely unexpected movie, Driving Ms Daisy, which was actually a pleasent departure from the norm, a good wholesome artsy film.
Sat started off with an adventure. We set out to find some trails to go hiking, and along the way, we found an awesome observatory! So being the ''science kiddies'' we are, we had to stop and investigate. Too bad it was all locked up, but it was quite a site to see. After that we finally settled on a trail, and hiked it. So far in, we stopped and set up a micro camp on a log and had a good old fashioned picnic! havent done that in who knows how long, that was kind of cool. When we were all done in the woods, we went to a retirement center to see her addopted grandma from one of her community service type organizations. Nice lady, felt good to make an elderly persons day. Right after that, it started to rain, but we decided to get some work done, so went to a library for Studdy-Time! LOL only moments into it, we were distracted by a buring desire for coffee, so we took a long walk threw the rain to another much more scary library that served it. As soon as we got back, we found out we had to leave cause they were closing early! So ultimately, like no real work was accomplished. We then headed back to lambeth, and khines roomates were watching Alien, so we partook. I swear to god, Khines reactions to the scary scenes are more entertaining then the movie it self. I mean iv seen girls jump but she litterally flys out of her seat!
My goodness we did a lot that day, ok, after the movie, we decided we were hungary again, so we went out for supper. We went to this real nice restaurant, Northern Exposure, (no its not a strip club) its this really fancy new-york style italian place. The food was great, service was pretty good, but my overall experience was left slightly tainted due to an odd encounter at the bathroom. So im next in line to use the one-person bathroom. This old drunk guy works his way to the front and asks, ''whats the hold up here?'' to which everyone responds, ''its a single''. He asks, ''well does it have a sink?'' everyone, ''yes'' and he yells out, ''then its a double!'' Next thing i know im being pushed into the bathroom with this guy, all the while im insisting that he just go ahead of me, and he keeps asking, ''what are you, gay?'' So with out any further delay, i do my business, while he does his.....in the sink. As if things weren't awkward enough, the sink was right beside the toilette with out any kind of divider, and he was up in my face like litterally 5 inches away telling me a suiside story! WTF!? Needless to say, I left that place with a sence of confusion and slightly traumatized. ANYWAYS, moving on. We went back to the pond afterwards for a little, then finally it was time for bed.
ok finally Sun. Didnt do so much with Khine this day. She had an appointment was her other addopted grandma while i slept in. So while she was out, I went walking around campus looking for an earring she lost, no success. I also got some interesting campus photos, read a paper in the ampatheater, heard a symphony, played a piano, and got a free lunch at an outdoor residential program. Then due to my own stupidity and impatients, left just after her return. I had a meeting anyways, but I was originally planning on skipping it. Im still regreting my early departure, the more time i can spend up there, the better (still sorry, you didnt deserve that :-(
So now that iv written all this, it really gives a chance to reflect, and wow, with the exception of the misunderstanding on sunday, everything was perfect! I cant wait till our next encounter. Untill then, back to work

COMMENT: Dan, I played a part too in your early departure so don't go ballistic on yourself like that. And Sunday or no Sunday, the past weekend was the best by so far =) Thanks for making it so.
