back in BTR

so i'm back at home, for only a day, but molly and i had an awesome time in austin and i will post a few more things about that, only i am being too lazy to do anything. well, except avoid showering and eat chips. if either of those counted as productivity, my level of productivity would increase exponentially.

the short version is that we bought me a fourth option for a barrister's dress (another laura saga, don’t even get me started), ate more than just a bit of mexican food and drank some margaritas, finally made it out on sixth street, met some of the worst boys ever, walked around the lake in austin, visited a scenic overlook, had general tso's chicken that actually had chicken (amazing!), had dinner with some friends i met when i was 14 and who i get in touch with about once every three or four years (ok, so i'm really bad about keeping in touch), couldn’t get tickets for our 80s concert, spent new year’s at a house party with a bunch of people we didn’t know at all (molly and i only talked to one person the whole night, we thought he was great, but my friend reported that no one else at the party really liked him. oh well. no one ever said i was a good judge of character.), and had brunch at the cutest place ever before dropping me back at the airport. it was a short visit, but totally full of fun and it was great to see molly, and even tho our new year’s plans didn’t pan out like we anticipated, it was still a pretty good time and still better than our backup options of doing nothing with our parents, and we figure that we can hear 80s music any old time really, so yay for having visited austin! it really was a great few days.

i would say that the only downside was the football i missed, most of which did not really matter, but i called my dad immediately after the plane landed in austin to ask him about the BC game, and was told that navy had just fumbled the ball and there were 54 seconds left and we were down by 2. then i stayed on the phone with baited breath as he gave me the play-by-play and our little walk-on kicker won the game and YAY FOR THAT and for BC winning its seventh straight bowl game. oh, and i was back last night, but i turned the boise state/oklahoma game off with like 30 seconds left when it was 3rd and 18 and i figured there was no way it would happen, only to wake up this morning and KICK myself for having turned it off. oh well, at least i can see the replays 100 times today i guess. since i’m not doing anything else. you know, except avoiding showering.

anyways, happy official new year's to everyone!!
