2 Good Weekends and Some Craziness In Between

So... I've been really really busy. Last weekend we went to Six Flags on Friday, which was awesome. I went with Elise, John, Brian and of course Will (one of our very first dates/outings was to Six Flags so its tradition to go and this was the 3rd time!) We rode the Scorcher then ran into Katina and her husband Ari, which also seems to be a tradition. So our new bigger group then went on Deja Vu, did the wheelie, bumper cars, Superman and Batman twice. Good times! I always love catching up with Katina and I can't believe she's married now! But now she's my Monday lunch buddy!

Saturday consisted of a bike ride, going to the game and then to Wreck the Deck at Delta Chi. Good times... better described in pictures than in words. Oh, except for the asinine guys behind us at the game that kept yelling "you suck" every 2 seconds to the UNC band. Then when they got bored of that they turned to Spanish insults. Classy, right?

Sunday I of course spent the whole day at home, as usual.

This past week was pretty hectic through Wednesday (aero homework due, structures hw due, fluids lab report due... all on the same day). Tuesday I went and got my hair cut at the Aveda Institute, which went well except for that it took forever. I caught a bug or something so I was kinda sick Wednesday and Thursday. Then Wednesday during lab I received a text from Will saying to call my Mom and I was immediately worried. She had a mammogram done the week before and it turns out they found lumps in both of her breasts. One was a cyst filled with water, which they drained this past Friday, and the other is a tumor which they did a biopsy on and we will find out the results either tomorrow or Tuesday. Needless to say I'm really worried about her, but I guess I've always thought she'd end up with some type of cancer (liftime smoker). But, one step at a time and for now I'm just trying to focus on other stuff and not be so worried.

This past Friday Will and I finally made it to the Botanical Gardens, which we had been trying to do since May. It was reallly awesome, up until it started raining (figures). I took many great pictures (check out flickr). Then we went out to dinner and caught up with Alex and Melissa and their swim club people and headed to Ramblin Nights. Yesterday I was extremely unproductive all day then went to the game and today spent the day taking care of Kaya and Alden since I couldn't lift anything.

Since pictures can probably capture the fun better, here goes:
