Flashcards, Food, and Friends

My blog title basically sums up the past week of my life: flashcards, food, and friends.  It's finals time here at the 'hurst and it's NOT a good time to be a laker, haha.  Finals actually start today and go until Wednesday, and of course, all of my finals are on Wednesday, so I'll head home Wednesday afternoon.

There's a picture of my desk at my apartment with all of my flashcards. **FLASHCARDS ARE LITERALLY YOUR BEST FRIEND IN COLLEGE! (and worst enemy, haha)** I swear, if I have to study another flashcard about "what makes a good quality garment" or "what we can do to save the environment," I may just lose it...

But to keep myself from losing it, luckily I have my evenings, which is when I do anything and everything that isn't productive.  Thursday night, I went to my friends' apartment and a bunch of us hung out, Friday night, I hung out in my apartment and booked a ticket to Florida to visit my roommate over Christmas break (YAY!!), and that brings me to Saturday night:

Saturday night a bunch of my roommates' close friends and I went to Applebees for a going away party, since one of our friends is transferring after this term.  I've actually been hinting to my roommates for a long time now that I've been wanting to go out to dinner, especially during finals weekend. Any chance to just get off campus, especially when you're with your friends eating good food and getting "dressed up" is always fun. 

My friend Jess and I got spinach and artichoke dip for an appetizer, and then I got shrimp and pasta with a spicy sauce and it was delicious.  Here's Jess and I with the leftovers...

Well, that's literally an abridged version of my weekend.  The next two days will definitely be spent in the library studying, so nothing too exciting, but it has to get done.  Wednesday seems like SUCH a long time from now...

Hoping time flies...!
