Slacker!

I’m blog-slacking and I apologize! Classes are going at a fast pace and I’m also trying to juggle lab and student groups and family and friends.

I’ll just talk about some stuff that happened to me this past weekend:

Studied at Jack-in-the-Box, which serves coffee just like Starbucks and doesn’t care if you take up a whole table for four hours. There were some middle school girls, and one of them was on her cell phone talking in Spanish and English.

She said, “No, ma, you’re tripping out!”

And later, “Ok, pues, peace out nigga!”

It was precious.

Had pizza and beers with some friends because we were all back from vacation! Two of them had presents for us (!) and I got an awesome shower gel and shampoo, hip notebooks, and a pair of Family Guy briefs that I may or may not have posed for pictures in.

One of the guys that we hung out with was my friend’s friend, who directed this video. It’s awesome and I have the song stuck in my head. And we were watching TV and it randomly came on, so that was weird exciting:

(EDIT: The director himself has a cameo at 2:14)

On Saturday I got a phone call from my parents asking if I wanted to drive up to the mountains with them. In my mind I was thinking that my parents had had a fight and were upset and wanted to see me (yes I know, we have some f***ed up family dynamics). So I rush home — it turns out nothing was wrong, they were *sincerely* wanting to go on a day trip. And our car had engine problems going up the mountain so we ended up turning the car around and going home. What did I come home for??

Hung out with friends Sunday night and we tried to use the jacuzzi in their apartment complex, but it was broken and couldn’t get hot. The closest we could get was to get out of the water, be freezing cold for a while, then come back to the water and feel warm by contrast. But I feel like that’s pretty good for mid-January. Eat your heart out, Minnesotans!

That’s it for the weekend!
