Senior Night, Macbooks , frog pond and more...

Ok, So it's been far too long since my last post! (things in the office were busy and my life was in a little lull...aka nothing overly exciting happened so I figured I should do other work...) Any way, this week was a lil different! Well really the last week and a half, but as already noted, Its been a while.

So last Thursday we had Senior Night at McFadden's, a local bar, to celebrate 100 nights until graduation. It was actually somewhere in the range of 80-85 days until graduation, but we, the senior week committee, got a little preoccupied and kinda forgot to plan it a little sooner-oops! Anyway, it was the same night that Mr. Belding, from Saved by the Bell! came to campus, so Whit and I tried to squeeze both events in, and did so rather well. Mr. Belding was suppose to talk for about four hours including trivia and other aspects of his 'show', but we only got to stay for the first hour or so, and we made Rich come with us!!! Anyway, the whole night was tons of fun because it was one opportunity to see all your friends in one night and to see people you usually would not.

I also just got my tax rebate! and I am thinking about purchasing a mac book! I am really excited about this because my old computer is dying, and It would be so nice to have a new computer that is actually capable of basic functions! Anyway, I know this is a huge purchase so I am pretty nervous and I went to the Apple store on Boyleston the other day to take my time and learn everything I could about the Mac book. The employees are not paid commission in order to actually help you find a computer that is best for you, not that would make them the most money which is awesome. So a very nice associate, Paul, sat with me for about an hour and fifteen minutes making sure I knew what i needed, and helping me learn all the features that are going to be different on my Mac book then they are on my PC. They also offer free tutorials on how to use different Mac programs like I work... the Mac Microsoft office equivalent. I still got nervous and left empty handed but I think I am going back to get one this week!

Then there was yesterday, which was a glorious day! I went to target to get ready for Alternative Spring Break! With my friend Kelly and (of course) Whit! We went and tried to get stuff for the trip but mostly just ended up buying everything that we wanted and not really getting much for the trip. Then I had to go to work but i got out early! So whit and I went to visit TJ at the Frog Pond! He was working until 9 so we went to hang out then we all went out to dinner. Whit and TJ are two of my favorite people so it was a great pleasure to get to go to dinner with the two of them. We went to the Cheesecake factory and I had the crusted lemon chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was amazing. TJ decided to order whatever the waitress would have ordered... then he gave his leftovers to a homeless man, which was super sweet of him, and the man seemed pretty stoked for life.
I went home to find Law and Order SVU was on, followed by Selena, which completed the perfect day. Did I mention that it was beautiful out! I wore FLIP FLOPS! It was pretty much the best day ever... then this morning it was snowing... :(
