It's so hard to push my pride to the side.

Oh what a marvelous weekend I had!

On Friday I went to the grocery store and got stuff for the apartment cook-in. We made WAYY too much food so I have TONS of left-overs (every college kid's dream!). It was also the first fourth of July Jon and I were able to spend together (he was in Arizona and I was in Ohio last 4th) and it was great! After we ate our indoor BBQ, we went down and walked around the Taste of Chicago for a bit. It was really crowded, though, so we wandered into the loop and searched for dessert. We ended up getting milkshakes from Potbelly's (SO delicious) and we took them down to the riverwalk to drink. While we were sitting next to the river, about 50 kayakers rowed past-- it was weird because it was around 9:30 and already getting dark. After we finished our shakes we went back to the apartment--we also got to see some of the fireworks from the train. There were fireworks being shot off all around Bridgeport-- it was so cool, and my roommate's kitten, Echo, was going NUTS. It was just enjoyable to watch.

On Saturday Jon had to work most of the day, so I went to the Taste of Chicago (to actually taste food) with Emily, Frank, Ben and a lot of Frank's friends from Ohio. I ate tiramisu gelato, a chocolate covered strawberry, and a Greek chicken sandwich on pita bread. It was SO delicious!! After that I went up to Jon's apartment and we went out to eat at Stella's diner and it was so good. On Sunday I had church and then I did homework. It was just an overall, nice and relaxing weekend.

Got my calc midterm today--did relatively well :)

Summer orientation sessions 2 and 3 are this week which means I probably won't see Sasha very much. It was thundering this morning so I hope the kids have relatively good weather this week.

Jon met everyone I work with in the office today--it was adorable because he is so shy at first and everyone in my office is so sarcastic. Poor kid didn't know what was coming at him! He's a great sport, though, so it went just fine.
