well today's a nice day. this morning i went to the gsc 50th anniversary breakfast, in s-p. it was great, basically everyone sat at different tables and was supposed to discuss the issues that were written on the card. ours was transportation. and what do i have to say about that? well, i think that it's about time that a daytime shuttle starts running to SP--its going to get really cold!! :-)
they had eggs, sausage, and about 5 different kinds of quiche! the ham & cheese one was really good (i just ate the filling, not the crust) then later michael & i went to the oktoberfest celebration in the student center--the food there was really great: ginger pork, sauerkraut, red cabbage & apples, german potato salad, and sausages. again it was cool because there was plenty of stuff that i was able to eat (usually free-food events feature only things like pizza, noodles, wraps, little sandwiches, or hamburgers/hotdogs, all of which i can't eat). hurray to whoever ordered the food! :-)
oh, and by the way -today i bought my plane ticket home (for Christmas break) on hotwire. I was looking at a bunch of different dates and by far the cheapest one was leaving Tues Dec 16 and returning Tues Jan 6. I tried ones that left a bit later (17th or 18th) and returned earlier (Jan 4th or 5th), and they were all around $280-$320. So, i can say i was forced into taking a 3-week vacation to save money. :) sounds good to me!
anyway, i must mention something about yesterday. at 7pm michael and i went to see this movie, "Lilya Forever" at the LSC. Ok, let me just say that it is the absolute most depressing movie i have ever viewed in my entire life. i don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, but essentially it was about a 16-year-old Russian girl (Lilya) whose mother abandons her, leaving her to live a life of poverty, resorting to selling herself (i.e. prostitution) to survive. anyway, several scenes (actually most of them) were difficult to watch. i imagine it was even more disturbing for michael since the movie was in Russian (his native tongue).
well after that movie was finished, we biked home and then a few hours later (midnight) decided to go the SP gym to work out (we were trying to clear our minds, after seeing the movie). i ran 5 miles, in 43 minutes (yay).
