:: Thursday Night & Friday ::
On Thursdays, I have two classes and then I'm free starting from 10:30 a.m. I ran some errands, and then I went to the library to get a bunch of work done for the weekend. Actually, quite surprisingly I got all my homework and studying done for the weekend. Yes, I am so proud of myself. Anyways, it was around late afternoon, Jasmine and I start texting (I should really start watching my texting limits...hehe). After many texts, she texts me: "I feel like doing something spontaneous!" I replied back completely jokingly: "Come to the city!" haha and then things started happening so fast. She skipped her last class of the day, just picked up her stuff, and was already on the train to New York. Meanwhile, I was in the library reading for theology, until I realized I had to sign her in as an overnight guest, and I wasn't sure what time I had to do that by. So I as well rushed to my room and went online to register her as an overnight guest around 5:30. Oh my gosh, I was browsing online for rules about non-stj overnight visitors, and it said I had to register by 4 pm! Just to make sure, I called public safety and they said I had until 9 pm. Yayay! I was so excited for Jas to visit me. I told her very good, detailed directions about how to get to my campus. (Apparently, I can be very good at directions hehe) She got to my campus around 8:15 pm. We went to public safety and sign her in because she needed an guest pass. Speaking of guest passes, I thought they were just going to give her a slip of laminated paper or something saying "Overnight Pass". No, we both thought wrong. They went all out, took her information, took her picture, and made her a real card, all laminated and stuff. By the way, I was outside for only 15 minutes and my legs and face were frozeN! It was soooo cold that night! Wow. After she dropped her stuff in my room, we went to dunkin donuts (lol as always for late night talks). I got hot chocolate, donut, and hash browns. We talked talked and talked s'more. Then, we walked back to school. This is when our next best thing started. While I took a shower, Jas was researching and looking up places to eat for our city date Friday. We did that until about 3 in the morning. We had planned everything - shopping, dinner, barnes&nobles (but of course, you know this plan is going to get tweeked a little bit considering how spontaneous and random we are ha!) I had to wake up at 6:30 am to go to my classes. I had four classes on Friday. While I was in classes, Jas hung out in my room, made my bed, and I gave her my id card so that she go into the library and be somewhat productive lol. During my 1 hour break, we went to eat lunch at Monty's, the dining hall. After lunch, I showed her around campus while we were eating icecream :) Then I went off to class while she went to the library. As soon as I ended class at 1:15 pm, we were outttta here! We went shopping at UO (I have to stop buying shtuff!!). Eager to eat, we just went to dinner around 4:45 pm, hahaha. We went to Isle, a Thai restaurant. It was very goood.
Appetizers: ^Chicken & Shrimp Dumplings ^Shrimp Dumplings
Main Dish: Drunken Man Noodles- very delicious! ;D
It fulfilled my appetite. However, after eating something like Thai food, your taste buds just don't stop. They want more, preferably something fresh and fruity. Our original plan was walk around and digest a little before getting dessert. Ha! That.... did not happen. As we got out of Isle, we crossed a few streets, and came across Yogurtland. Yogurtland is like Pinkberry, but better. Why? Because you get to choose from a variety of different yogurt flavors and toppings and make your own. I love frozen yogurt! :P
Left: strawberry & cheesecake with chocolate chips
Right: taro & green tea with mochi
Very very good! and all that was only $4-something. You get alot more than you would at Pinkberry for about the same price.

Our night continued as we went inside a nice jewelry store, bought some earrings (another note to self: stop buying stuff). Then we went inside Barnes & Noble. Then, our night ended as she went on a train back to Jersey and I went on a train back to school. It was a very spontaenous, fun two days :D Thank you Jas for visiting! Later that night, when I got back to campus, my friend and I had a heart-to-heart talk. It was nice spending a night in, instead of drinking. Buttttt, of course no weekend passes without booze. Time for Saturday and Sunday ;)
:: Saturday-Sunday ::
I woke up around 8 am-ish on Saturday morning. I cleaned, did some laundry, and finished my math homework. A couple of my friends and I were supposed to study for our chem exam Saturday afternoon, but that wasn't too successful. We all had other plans. As soon as I found out that we weren't going to study, I packed and went to the city to stay over Yuna's school. She goes to SVA, and for some reason, I always loveee going there. I think it's the whole ambiance of that school with unique, interesting people, the fact that the city is so conveniently planted near soho, gramercy, pinkberry, flurt, duane reade, subway, etc. hahaha. I just love it! Also, her dorm style is what I like. It's like a suite with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, and common area. Additionally, from the 16th floor, it is quite a view from her bedroom window. Minus the roaches here and there, everything else is fine :] hahah.
We went out to eat dinner at a pizza place near her school, and then I got my favorite dessert. hehe, this time I tried Flurt, another frozen yogurt place:
Toppings: fruity pebbles, pomegrante, mochi
try it! it was my first time putting pomegrante in my yogurt, and it was a goood choicee ;D

After we got ready to go out for her friend Soso's birthday. Her birthday is actually today - happy birthday! I got to see some old faces and it was a good time. My favorite alcoholic drink of all time is Captain Morgan Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, and Yuna's boyfriend got it for me! yumyumyum :P hahah. I think I had over 20 shots Saturday night, but I was still the only one who could walk, talk, think straight. I'm quite amazed at myself. I realized I can control myself better with hard liquor. I hate beer, and maybe that's why. It was a fun night, everyone did, and most importantly the birthday girl :] I noticed there are a lot birthdays February/March. Anyways, Sunday morning, we woke up and had some breakfast. Then, we went out to eat at Chipotle. Yo! That thing is so ridiculously big! I couldn't finish mine. But my goal is to finish the whole thing the next time I have it, and yes, there will be a next time ;) hahah
This weekend consisted of good food, good friends, and good yogurt* (tehehe) :) This week will be busy because I'm pretty sure about going home for the 3-day weekend, and I don't want to bring home any work with me, so I'm trying to finish everything beforehand lol. I have workstudy in 30 minutes, so 'til next time, bye!
