Three Day Weekends

Things I Have Done Recently that Were Not a Waste of Time:

-Go to California and stay an extra week

-Study for Comp exams

-Go to the gym

-Sleep in most days

-Hike to Squaw Peak

-Watch Prince of Persia

-Start Notre-Dame de Paris by Hugo... for the fifth time

-Visit with old friends

-Make new friends

-Bake things, especially tortillas and peanut butter bars with chocolate ganache frosting

-Catch up on the latest Eurovision results (Turkey got #2! That makes me happy)

-Pass my comp exams (making the past year good instead of a huge waste of time)

-Laundry and cleaning

-LOST season finale (I liked it overall, but then I have no problem with questions going unanswered. Quite the reverse, actually)

-Bathing (apparently this is also the secret to Jake Gyllenhaal's work out for Prince of Persia)

-Sharing jokes with an old friend

-Chatting

The saddest words? What might have been.
