Weekend

So the long weekend was sure a long weekend. For the most part, it was awful. It wasn't all bad though.
For Saturday and Sunday, and some of Monday, the sinus pressure in my head was bad enough that it felt like being stoned.. couldn't think straight, couldn't focus. Not pleasant, especially when essay writing needs to be done. But the essay was finished.. maybe not the most uh.. intellectual essay I've ever written but.. oh well, I got it done and that's the important part. Unfortunately this coinciding of events (essay + not being able to think straight) bred a strange and unreasonable rage within me that extended to the resurfacing of old rages. Not cool. (Not to say that the rage in question wasn't justifiable.)

At any rate, I stayed home all weekend, except for Monday night.. when the SCP had an adventure! We wanted to all hang out together one last time before Brian disappears off to the states for law school soooo.. korean bbq + karaoke! My first time trying korean bbq.. twas pretty cool.. I used chopsticks!! (I'm a HUGE newb so Brian had to repeatedly show me how to hold them.. and then like.. turn my meat for me when I forgot to lol it was fun) The karaoke was an interesting adventure.. as Jesse and I were determined to make it easier by consuming alcohol beforehand. After looking at the drink menu which was like 80% alcoholic beverages the woman tells us that they don't serve alcohol.. so uh.. nice menu guys? Helen informed her that we.. uh.. were kind of looking for a place that served alcohol. And we left. How hilariously embarassing haha! Anyways, we found a place.. discovered what an AMAZING singer Brian is (how cool is that?).. sang some hilarious renditions.. 50 Cent, Shakira, etc.. Jesse and Brian singing Spice Girls in high voices (or Jesse's girl voice in general).. TOO FUNNY!!

All in all, it doesn't get much better than singing Oasis into a beer bottle with people you love spending your time with.
I had -so- much fun you guys.. we must do it again. Though.. without Brian :'( .. dammit Brian.. SCP honestly won't ever be the same to me without you. Best of luck with those nutty Americans.. I know you'll pwn them. So Helen and Jesse... road trip to NYC? I'm not even kidding.. to say the least it means getting to go to that amazing duty-free again, muahaha!
If anyone saw our group hugs they'd probably think we were huge losers. But.. I DON'T CARE! :D
HUGE thanks to you Helen for your planning and driving and.. editing my essay again and.. EVERYTHING. You are unimaginably awesome.

Despite getting home late and being tired I didn't sleep a wink until about 9 am and even then couldn't sleep (perhaps because the pressure in my head had returned).. dayum Chelsea, one night of not being able to sleep feels like absolute crap.. it made me think of your insomnia and how INCREDIBLY awful it must be.. I would go absolutely insane.

The Prof. cancelled tonight's class! He's so awesome! And then Jeff settled our silly ice cream argument from weeks ago by buying me a fudgsicle muahah totally worth it melting all over me on the subway! :) Just the exam on Thursday and then I be free of class for a whole 3 weeks!

P.S. Everyone in T.O.. keep yourself open if you can to the end of the first week of September.. (the weekend of the 9th) because that's hopefully when I'll be moving in and I fully expect y'all to join in some house-warming/first-night-there festivities!
