Day 47: Roomie Date

I only had one class to teach today, which was just lovely. Sure, it takes 30 minutes to get to school by school bus, and 40 minutes to walk back to a public bus stop and another 20 minutes to take the bus back home, but just because transportation time added up to more time than I was actually teaching didn't make me any less happy to be home and in my sweats by noon! ^_^ I did all of the pesky things on my to do list that I'd been putting off since I got here and put something important in the mail. Overall, quite the productive day!

At night, Roomies and I went to the little book fair in Cervantes Plaza and then took a train over to a movie theater and watched Woody Allen's newest movie, "To Rome With Love." Abby loved it. Katie thought it was really weird. I sided with Katie on this one. It was about four different couples and none of them had anything to do with each other. All of the men of the relationships were just batty and overall not much happened throughout the movie. Woody Allen is definitely a win or lose kind of movie maker with me!

After the movie we tried to take the train back (and we crossed the tracks!! As silly as this is - it's a life long bucket list dream to cross train tracks 'cause it's just so illegal and made me feel like such a BAMF, despite the fact the trains had obviously stopped service for the night - lol), but no luck, so we waited for the bus while dining on a feast at Burger King. HA.

Friday Night Roomie Bonding was a success. I couldn't help but think the whole night how I've never had a group of friends like this. There are three of us and we're all friends with each other, live together and hang out together. Someday I have to get over this feeling of "Wow! I have friends! And they sorta like me! I'm so excited! And so nervous!" I feel like a small kid being invited to the popular kids table. Which is rather ridiculous. I hope that by the end of this year I will feel like I can just be friends with people and fit into a friend group without wondering if they REALLY like me or what they REALLY think of me or if I REALLY belong. Anyway, I'm really happy to have actual friends for the first time in a little while that I made all on my own. :)
