The Long Weekend


Starting on Tuesday afternoon (post-test), the weekend had arrived, as far as I was concerned. Truth be told, this mode of thinking raised some eyebrows in the grocery checkout line when I told the cashier, "Have a nice weekend." Still, I had a great time on Tuesday evening with the various social outings that followed. I even cleaned up my place, plugged in my blender, and had a few study group friends over before we headed to the celebrations downtown.

I worked on an ambulance on Wednesday and Friday, taking time to sleep practically all but 5 hours on Thursday. Friday (Halloween) evening also involved a stop by former Rice roommate Katherine Zodrow's place for some delicious mulled wine and pumpkin pie. On Saturday, I hosted a wedding shower for my friends Brandi Braud and Peter Scully. They are both second years at Baylor and have been together since the beginning of their time at Rice over five years ago. I have tons of leftover ice cream in my freezer, so if anyone has a hankering for vanilla or Neapolitan, come on over!

On Saturday evening, I joined forces with study group friends again for some dinner and a few episodes of House. Later on, all ages of Baylor Med students convened in Cullen Auditorium for a talent show, complete with outrageous costumes for both performers and audience members. Sunday was also a complete day with church, Sunday School (I help out with the 1-2 graders), the opera, and a movie. Opera = Beatrice and Benedict (beautiful costumes, but pretty slow going) Movie = Happy-Go-Lucky (a well-acted character study)
