jonathan safran foer.

even though every day since then has been golden,
today was probably the best day i've had since i've been back from montana because i just got so much done.
heath wasn't home again, so i took over his bed last night.
his room is extremely dark, so i didn't wake up until around 11.
i went to vita for a bit and then to school to buy books.
the minute i stepped onto campus (for the first time since i left),
i filled up with excitement to start school again.
i hung out at the bookstore for awhile to say hello and chat with old coworkers.
it was so hectic. there were so many people on campus due to freshman orientation.
i also visited kara and saw her and heather's new room.
it was really nice to see them.
i walked over to peet's afterward to make an appearance, but the manager wasn't available,
so i headed back to heath's.
i made stir-fry for everyone and waited for haley, who i went apartment hunting with for a couple of hours.
when 6:30 came around, james, haley, joe, and i all got coffee and headed to town hall to see jonathan safran foer speak on his newest book, "eating animals."
it was suuuch an intriguing and witty talk, and i learned quite a lot even though i thought i knew it all, heh.
we ended up running into our boston friends there, which made me even happier than i'd been throughout the day. i kinda missed them.
it is suuuch a nice night, so we all stood outside afterward and talked about foer's talk for a bit, and then went to qfc for some groceries.
joe, james, and i all walked off to vita for some coffee, where we sat outside next to an awesome 65 year old drunk and his artist friend.
the art was amazing.
our 65 year old friend had some awesome stories, and both of them insisted that i looked like young barbara streisand, and then everyone said they could see it.
we migrated to hot mama's where another stranger asked for some change to get a slice of pizza and told us his story that made him cry.
he told us about his ex heroine addiction, and the fact that he is turning 29 and is already a widow even though him and his wife were divorced.
it really sucked when he started crying, so there was just an immediate moment of silence when he left.
lastly, we all walked to cal anderson where monday night bike polo was taking place.
now we are at heath's, and i've had an extremely successful day.
