What a weekend...

What a weekend…

So Friday I finally got my car back… YAY!!!  Cathy rode with me up to Lake Norman to pick it up.  I ended up having to go ahead and get 3 new tires, an alignment, and the transmission fluid done, which totaled a little over $800.00.  Kind of unexpected, but it needed to be done so… I don’t have to think about that stuff at least till the car is paid for again.  

Afterwards we headed down to Birkdale Village and had dinner.  YUM!  We ate at Red Rock Café and it was great!  I had a filet mignon served with garlic mashed potatoes and fresh stemmed green beans… Cathy had the same thing only she added a crab cake.  We had some calamari for an appetizer, a bottle of wine, and banana foster cheesecake for dessert.  Then I hung out with a friend for a bit – watched my favorite movie (Life as a House) and then some Golden Girls, Family Guy and Futurama.

Saturday I went down on Central with Cathy to do some research for her project.  Then we wert back to her place… she cooked all afternoon… and Pam and Melissa came down.  Then Will came down and we all played Battle of the Sexes.  It was quite entertaining.  

That night Jason Slatinsky was house sitting for Betsy West – the chair of instruction for the College of Architecture.  So – as Cathy likes to call him – going against his Gold Child character he decided to throw a party at her house.  It was mostly grad students – most of whom I don’t know so I felt out of place – but compared to past grad parties this one was great.  I’m sure it had something to do with the fact that the group I went with (Cathy, Pam, Melissa, and Will) made up about 1/3rd of the party.  HAHA!  But it was definitely a good time.  Chris Weiczorek and Robin Koch were there… but that’s about it for 5th year students.  

Robin and I recalled the great parties that I used to throw back in 2nd and 3rd year.  They were so much fun… I guess because I was really good friends with the majority of people who came… and Jay and Chris’s band would play.  I really do miss getting to do stuff like that.  I’ve got a feeling I’m going to miss college life a lot – despite how much I say that I’m tired of it.  

The girls decided they wanted to go downtown to a club so Will and I headed back to the apartment and went to bed.  I was pretty exhausted; we decided to lie around till about 12 this morning.  

I had a meeting at the library at 2 for my Urban Theories class.  That was fairly productive.  It’s going to take a while to crank the rest of this stuff out.  It’s a pretty intensive project.  

Now it’s a little after 7pm and I’m at Jenkins and Peer getting some things finished from last week for Kevin.  I have a feeling this week is very much going to suck!  I have a review on Friday that’s going to take a lot of preparing for.  I have code reviews on Tuesday and a meeting tomorrow around 2 for my independent study.  So I must get back to work so I can get home and do some reading.
