mmm...today was another good day. well, it didn't start out as one, but it ended up as one. :) woke up with an ache-y tummy, so i kinda just half-sat/half-lay around on my bed playing mario kart till i felt better. then went to the building meeting. our ra, carlos, is so much cooler than our ra last year, natasha. natasha was just...well, annoying. he strikes me as one of those teddy bear guys - big and loveable. anyway, building meeting took about an hour, then i went to ikea and wal-mart with melissa, grace, helen, and allyn. ikea's so cool. couldn't resist buying stuff that i didn't really need. like a blue mug and that silver lantern that's like, all over the store. me and melissa really really wanted it since it was only six bucks, but we were just like mulling over the decision for like, forever. the thing that kept me from buying it the last time i went to ikea is the fact that the lantern uses tealight (i love that word!) candles and they sold a bag of 100 tealights next to the lanterns for like five bucks and i was like, i don't need a *hundred* candles. finally, grace just suggested that we each buy a lantern and like split up the bag of tealights. good idea. :) so we ended up each buying one. i love it!!! it's so useless though. it just looks real pretty.

so then we went home after that, all exhausted cuz, well...i don't really know why we were so exhausted. we just were. got home and started cleaning and cutting some fruit and vegetables in the kitchen with sanaz, neha, and natasha. it was pretty fun. we were just goofing off and stuff. before that, ben had asked us if we wanted to come over for dinner so we decided to make salad too since they were cooking for us and we had all the vegetables out anyway. so yeah, just got back from dinner. it was gooood. mmmm.....
