My Saturday Hooorahhh

O man, today was so delightful.

I didn't have to work so I got to sleep in, and Mike finally decided last night that we could spare the extra cash to run the AC for the weekend while it continues to reach a million degrees during the day. This morning I woke up and I was actually cold, which felt amazing in ways I can't even describe. I curled up on the couch with a big blanket and read a book. A non-schoolish book. The whole experience was almost orgasmic in quality.

I drove to East Lansing today and even through a construction zone for the first time. I was proud that I did but man was I happy to get there and get out of that car.

In Lansing Mike and I met up with his friend Nick from high school and Nick's girlfriend Colleen, who I had yet to meet. They made us some kind of Thai food that was pretty exotic and tasty, and certainly a sweet break from the usual rushed bowl of ramen or Mac 'n Cheese.

Colleen is actually about to be a first year pharm student at Ferris just like me (oh what pleasant irony!), so once we met we chatted nonstop about how annoying patients are, the newest generic version of Zoloft, and how much we would love to never study again. It was great because even though I've known one or two other students who wanted to be pharmacists here at WMU, I'd never actually met one who was going in this upcoming year and one that had actually worked in a pharmacy before. It was refreshing and fun to talk with her about it--someone who had been through it all. I'm pretty sure she's a few years older than me (she said she'd been going to school for six years part time), and I'm not sure if we'll become really good friends or anything, but it'll be so nice to just have one friendly face on that first lonely day of class.

That about wraps it up, and tomorrow I clean, for the 'Rents are coming on Monday!! :D
