However..... after much deliberation and bugging on my part, I have been blessed with a new Mac-- the very sleek and sexy MacBook, black! It's very awesome! Thus, my blogging.
Here are some updates on life:
The people that I work with and some of the customers at Peet's had a going away party for me yesterday.. complete with a ginormous bunch of flowers and rainbow cupcakes! Even some Gray's Anatomy and college survival book from the regular customers, the guys that hang out there every night!! Everyone was SO sweet- I'm really going to miss that place.
Tonight, I just got home from a surprise party!! SO.. the scoop on this: Apparently, my coworkers d been planning this for two weeks, unbeknown to me of course. So this evening, my dad asks me to go get him some soda from the garage- it seemed a little fishy to me but i went along with it! and out front pulls up Sai, coming to pick me up! My dad told me to just leave (unusual, I know!), so i get in the car, and then subject to being blindfolded. Sai drives me to Gilroy, when we get to Sarah's house, and there are people and streamers and cake and all! It was very surprising... and awesome! Sai's friend Will had rigged up this complex kareoke system involving two laptops and a bunch of cords, so we sang kareoke all night! not very well, mind you, but it was still super fun, and a great time. The Peet's crew has been so much fun to work with, and a blast to hang out with over the summer. Here are some pics from a recent outing with the Peetnik gang:



From top to bottom, these are: Sarah's nee-nee (the new word for kitties) Tally with one of Churro's pineapples, Sai in front of a building in downtown Gilroy, and Sarah and I in front of her house before we went to Johnny Carino's in Gilroy for dinner.
Tomorrow is drive to San Diego day! I've been packing like crazy- and the red microwave is already in the van, Aunt Kelly!! It's ready for some dorm popcorn.
Yee-haw! my next post will be from my new room at UCSD!
