Success!

It was great! We however, made a small modification to the menu. Added bruschetta appetizers with grilled italian bread, mozarella, basil, and a cherry tomato topping. Rachel made a dried fruit couscous that went well with everything. Emily brought an awesome avocado, mango, black bean salad. For dessert, we had fruit skewers, grilled, and topped with cream. And grilled, halved bananas. And Rachel's blueberry-peach cobbler as well.

Things to remember for next time, bring more charcoal if you plan on grilling for 5 hours straight, and the corn takes freakin' forever! Otherwise, it was one of the easiest things ever, just a lot of prep work that was totally worth it in the end. Rachel and Jeremiah were there with me from the way beginning, and so were Emily and Pete. Helena and her friend Ellen stopped by for a good while, Nana came by with some quick entertainment from Morty, and finally Becca showed up with the hebrew nationals :)

Then, went to the harbor to see fireworks... who knew that the barge closer to the inner harbor would only have fireworks every 5 minutes?

And It All Begins To Fall Into Place

I'm excited for this summer. I'll have time to study, time to grow, time to concentrate on the things I need to do to make myself a better person. I have the time, energy, motivation, and means to do something about it, and I'll soon be able to at least perceive what the ideal is, if even just for a glimpse or a taste.

I'm finally done with all these pesky finals. Personality theory wasn't as bad as it could've been. Inorganic, well, that was tough. I didn't get much sleep last night. But alas, it is now summer, and I'm now a senior. I have time to get my stuff together, to leave this apartment and what it is to me, and move on. something new. Not too much will change, but it'll help me get rid of certain memories hopefully.

Maybe I'll be having some fun tonight. I've kinda avoided friends for the moment. I'm kinda at the point in those weird relatinoships, where you don't know if it should be more than what it started out as.. possibly considering something more? At least that's what I think we're at, maybe the feelings aren't being returned, but who knows.

Man, I need to shower :P I've been in the same clothes, on and off, for at least a while. My ulcers are getting slightly better, and this ice cream certainly helps. Edy's Slow Churned vaniall bean. Yum.
