Coming Home and The Weekend

Saturday: One of the hardest days I have experienced so far. I had to say goodbye to people I had been living with for three weeks.  My roomie was super funny and I meet a lot of awesome people there. My RA's were amazing. I had the pleasure of waking one up at 4:45 in the morning, I felt really bad about that :} The other one I did not get to say bye to, so I miss her a lot. Ally of my friends from Explo live on the East Coast (Chicago, Jersey, NY...) so I doubt I will get to see them again. Explo was a really good experience for me, and I wish I had gotten to stay for another three weeks. After about 5 1/2 hours on a plane, where I was sitting next to an old lady who slept and snored for the first 2 hours and talked her mouth off the rest of the  time, I was ready to go home and sleep. Instead, I got taken to lunch at a Japanese reastaurant (I love Asian and Indian food) and had a great time telling my parents about everything; my roomie, my friend, the batmispha I got invited to, my RA's, Cruise Night, pretty much everything that happened. And of course they want me to write everything down so that I have some recolection if I ever need to write a paper about experiences I have had. I was thinking something more along the lines of a giant scrapbook filled to the top of pictures from my friends cameras. After lunch we went home and decided to see the 7:00 showing of Harry Potter 7 part 2. This was 10:00 at night for me so I was still tired, but it was Harry Potter!!!! It was AMAZING!!! I'm so sad that its all over.... Sunday: Compared to Wellesley, San Diego/Oceanside is a desert. My eyes have gotten used to being surrounded by so much green, and now the scenery has completly changed.  It was my parents anniversary, so they had a special blessing at church. We then came home to host a party for the occasion where people ate up the 5 dozen enchiladas that my mother hade made (yummy!!!) I was the photographer and the kinda-babysitter for the party. Here are some of the pics I took:                                                              the "wedding cake"                                                    sunflowers my mother had gotten                                                   my cousin Nicky getting ready to eat                                                my cousin Aidan smiling for the camera                                                  Aidan playing with his new toy                                                   Nicky and my cousin Sarah playing                                                                                          Tia Veronica and Nicky laughing                                                          Grandma smiles for the camera
