a success!

The bon voyage party for Chaunce was smashing. We watched "Shaun of the Dead" and ate pizza and other junk foods. Chaunce made scones and cream with jam on the side. It was perfect. Some of our friends had to leave early--which sucks because the rest of us ended up talking for three hours. The time flew by so fast! It was just me, M., Chaunce, and her younger sister, G..

We reminisced about high school, our past college year, M.'s love life, G.'s past junior year, Chaunce's upcoming semestre abroad, politics, the state of California's education system, tons of things. G. or someone else brought up a funny point at one point during the discussion. She said that everyone one of us in our group is different, and yet we get along well together. And when we all meet up after being apart for so long, everything is still the same. The same bond is there, just as if we were still in high school, just seeing each other after Christmas or Easter break. Friendhsip is such a beautiful thing.

Good luck, Chaunce, in your semestre abroad. You're going to have an amazing time in England. Be safe, and don't forget to write.

Went to Ikea with the parentals to buy assorted things (the list will be below) for when I move back to SF. This time, it's an apartment. How crazy is that? I still feel like a little kid, so now I'm going to be a little kid living in an apartment with three other girls. I just love Ikea. Everything is so simple and space-saving and cheap. I love it. My kind of store.

Ikea buys:
1. turquoise/brown sheet set (really cool looking)
2. quilt
3. 1 tea cup and saucer (only the lonely...)
4. 2 glass bowls
5. 2 white ceramic bowls
6. red lampshade (I broke the other lampshade)
