other than that though, i can't say anything of huge importance has happened around here. OH, i did spend last friday morning at the Emergency Room for the first time in my life. Don't worry, it wasn't for me. My roommate ended up coming into my room at about 5 AM saying she felt horrible and needed to go to the hospital. I didn't ask any questions and just said, "okay, let's go!" but then was like, "wait, where do we go?" I'd never had to do anything like that before especially without having a car. we called up a taxi though and got there fast. Long story short -- we spent a total of 6 hours in the ER for them to tell her that she just had some gastro-problems. was super tired when i got home @ 11 AM and ended up missing my lecture, but i'm just glad it wasn't anything serious. definitely an interesting experience.
Today, Kelly Lily & I headed out early to attend mass @ St. Finn Barre's Cathedral -- about a 20 min walk from our apt. It was a beautiful church and i wanted to snap some pictures, but i was too worried about offending anyone that i didn't end up whipping out my camera till i got outside. I've been to mass before, so it wasn't anything too new. The choir was lovely and the church had such beautiful stained glass.
afterwards we headed downtown since it wasn't very far away and grabbed a late breakfast/early lunch. there is ONE bagel shop downtown and i finally found my favorite thing on the menu -- their all day breakfast sandwich! it was like having a slice of home with me...i've missed bagels so much! I could've eaten five more of these, so delicious. Then we headed into some clothing stores which wasn't the smartest thing to do for us ladies, but we couldn't resist and i was in some SERIOUS need for some rainboots. successfully found the rainboots i needed.... and a few more things along the way ;)
I have my first test on Tuesday in Archaeology...it's been so long since i've had to do anything that it's been SO hard to find some motivation. keepin' my fingers crossed that i'll do well. lots of studying to do tomorrow.
OH, & tomorrow i'm taking my belay-certification test @ the gym so that I can finally climb without having to have one of the "club leaders" follow me around everyone. it's been pretty good in the club so far, but i missed the last couple weeks and everyone else seems to have an experienced partner so when i've gone the last few times i haven't had anyone to help me climb and it's just awkward. blah, it's weird. i wish i had a friend that would go with me and help me break the ice. i hope i pass the test! pretty nervous.
