january 17th, 2015: mustard plugged up for my last dinner

ill be leaving soon and still have a few things to take care. today i wanted to tackle mailing things which meant bringing the pain to acid storm. i wasnt able to get it back into plane mode before and therefore couldnt pack it with my household stuff. after a good bit of trial and effort i pulled it off. success! finally.

my mom had asked for some kind of souvenir and it hit me that maybe a build-a-bear would be a good way to go. i considered going to london so i could do some sight-seeing and pick one up there, but i really dont like going/being there. luckily, i had a bit of clarity kick in and went with cambridge instead. it took forever to get there because of traffic. it took forever to park because of...traffic? i mean, those cars have to be somewhere, right? in the end, i found that they didnt have anything that would make sense to get. so i left empty handed.

back in my room and making arrangements for dinner. then a nap because after a late night and early morning, that was for the best.

dinner was a good time. conversation was fun and it seemed like a good combination of people. the bootys and matt austin left earlyish in the night so brandon and i moved over to the usual second spot. there was a lot of conversation about music, computery tech things, black people and movies/blowing things out of proportion, and trying to figure out someones shirt. fun all around.

eventually it was back to my room. not a bad day at all.
