I almost envy myself right now, things are so good.

So I updated my other blog, and if anyone wants to know how my thanksgiving weekend went, here it is:

Lengthy, but whatever.

Yesterday I started off my day happier than I had reason to be. I think it was the lack of sleep, the addition of caffeine--which seems to help my already existing meds, and knowing how awesome my weekend will be. Also it had snowed, and was snowing, which might have been the main component of my happiness actually. But I had a test that day, one I wasn't ready for, and thus the one in O Chem that I will drop. I could, however, tell it wouldn't have been hard if I'd studied. Seriously, my O Chem professor's tests are incredibly fair, and thus a stark contrast to my other professor's. But even going into it knowing I wouldn't do well, it's amazing how much of a buzz kill not doing well on a test can be. I usually do well, so it's a newer experience for me. I attempted to study with #2 and friend, who aborted the process early on, and my friend Worm from work. Turns out he's been writing a fantasy novel, and I'm going to read and critique it for him. Sheidi told me that nobody likes a critic the other day (because I keep correcting her spelling and grammar in text messages), but Worm is going to tell her otherwise.

Last night, right after my test, I went to Mikado's for my friend Libo's 21st birthday, where we got sushi. And with an excellent 50% discount, since one of the guys we went with works there. It was a very nice restaurant with a definite Japanese feel to it (which kind of works well with it being a Japanese restaurant); the table was low to the ground, was shut off from the rest of the restaurant by being enclosed with bamboo screens and doors, and we sat on pads (but there was a pit underneath the table we could sit and put our feet in, so we didn't have to kneel). There were 8 of us total; 4 girls and 4 guys. Only me and my roommates are LDS, so a great amount of time went into convincing Libo to drink more, which he didn't really want to do, and he spent a great amount of time trying to convince them not to convince him. Ultimately it ended with a lot of sushi paid for in the snow, which is a shame. But I did get to eat a lot of sushi for dirt cheap, and mine stayed in my stomach. I got the spider roll (which is deep fried soft shelled crab in a roll of rice with avocado, etc.) and Philadelphia roll (which was raw salmon, cream cheese, and avocado in a roll of rice covered with sesame seeds). I liked the spider roll more, but I also tried the playboy roll, some fish sushi that wasn't in a roll (a big step for me), the J roll (which was amazing, and I think had some sort of honey-mustard sauce? on it), and terriaki squid. It was all delightful.

Today I have to go to my parent's house to get the stickers for my license plates. I don't have school today, except for Institute, so it will contain studying and the watching of Smutty ER. Tomorrow marks the first Winder Dairy hit-up of the season. I'm really excited for that actually. Saturday I get to go to the Festival of Trees twice. My niece is dancing there at two-ish. It's beginning to feel like Christmas, and I'm psyched.
