my final weekend

saturday:
i posted the blog about the week and pictures. i ate enchiladas on the roof of Cafe Sky, but didn't like them, while reading a book. then i walked to the movie theater to watch Polar Express, but it wasn't open yet. so i sat and waited when another student came walking by and stopped to talk to me. while he talked the lady came to open the theater and almost an hour later the guy left. since i would have missed half the movie, or more, i left and went to Cafe 2000 to see what they were playing. there were supposed to play something at 4, but soccer was on so they were waiting for it to be over or for the place to fill up with people, whichever came first. finally they started the movie, but i can't think of the name of it right now. Pirates of the Caribbean, the second one. i watched most of it, but had to leave before it was over in order to get home in time for dinner. went home, ate dinner, went to bed.

sunday:
finally got up and out of the house around 12:30. i was tired and unmotivated. walked to The Bagel Barn, got my favorite bagel sandwich to go, snuck it into the theater to watch Poseidon. thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich, but only semi-enjoyed the movie. it was a nice distraction and time-waster. then i went to Cafe 2000 to see what they were playing. by this time it was 4 p.m., so i was just wasting more time waiting for dinner. they finally played National Treasure, which i watched completely. it was good; i was surprised. afterward i walked to K & Ribs, the restaurant i ate dinner at my first sunday here (not counting the one i arrived on). i thought it would be fitting. i enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich, fries, soda, and chocolate mousse while reading my book. while i was eating a guy came in, an American, and opened up the doors to a tiny little bar and invited me over for a drink once i was done eating. and so i did. i had a drink with 5 or so strangers, talked a bit, laughed a bit, and left. when i got home, around 9:15, the lower part of the house was empty. i, very excitedly, decided to turn the Christmas tree lights on and lie on the couch, staring at it while listening to Christmas music on my iPod. it was so nice, for about 30-45 minutes, just doing what i wanted to do outside my room but inside the house. i thought about my life, what i want to do, what my options are, etc. then i went to bed.

today:
hugo and i talked the entire time. we talked about life. about the weekend. and didn't do any grammar. it was nice. the time went fast. i hope that will be true of the afternoon as well.
