Amazing Weekend of Amyness

I kicked off Fall Break by spending this weekend with my amazing friend Amy. While stats and bio sucked and I forgot virtually everything I learned, the one good thing about those classes was that I met Amy. She lived in my dorm so this made studying together convenient. We became really close, and unfortunately, she was not able to come back to UP for financial reasons. Although I am sad that we do not go to school together, we regularly talk on the phone or on Facebook. To make things even better, Stockton and Piedmont are only an hour and a half away, so this makes perfect for visits.

The weekend began on Friday when Amy picked me up from the Sacramento airport and went from there to her apartment. I just happened to arrive on her birthday, so along with her mom and aunt who was also visiting, we had devil's food cake and watched Friends. I pillaged cookies from the Commons (the cafeteria I eat at daily) and gave her a card and list of 19 things I like about our friendship. Besides the four of us cuddled up on the couch, we were lucky to be in the company of her 3 month old Maltese/poodle puppy Milly. Milly is very cute and fun, and likes jumping, licking, and biting people. We try to get her to stop biting by giving her a chew toy.

Saturday morning we went out to breakfast with her brother and his girlfriend. We went to a French restaurant called Brittanie's where we had delicious beingents and I had a Nutella crepe with strawberries. We saw her brother's dog at the vet as he is recovering from a virus, but is doing better. Afterwards, we went shopping and I bought a sweater at Forever 21. That night we celebrated her birthday with dinner at BJ's and frozen yogurt at Nubi (yay for pumpkin with a wide selection of topping choice, cost determined by the pound) with her friend Andrea.

My dad picked me up this afternoon so I have been home since 4:45. I went to Kirala with the fam to satisfy my six week sushi cravings. I've been home unpacking, visiting with my parents, and made pumpkin muffins. My week consists of coffee and lunch dates with family friends and old teachers, seeing Arielle and Jess (my two friends who are here), driving my mom places (she broke her leg a month ago-more to come on that), and relaxing.
