This weekend was AMAZING! I pissed off my Grad students again by scoring a 100 on my exam. My girlfriend came down on Wednesday, two days early just to see me! I feel super loved. We ate good food and hung out for two days. Then we went to a climbing wall on Friday which was sick as hell. I had so much fun watching her climb. Of course I beat the shit out of myself and my arms still hurt. I’ll work out and go back at it, hopefully she can come too! : ) Then we went and had a great home cooked meal at my Grandmother’s, who I hadn’t seen in ages, and bought her “women crack”. I’m not sure it lived up to its name but Lambik’s is definitely a drink for the non-alcoholically inclined (i.e. chicks drink). Woke up the next morning and my gf was a jewel and went with me to see my cousins play a soccer game. They lost but my cousin did score a goal and she took some awesome pictures, including the only decent picture of me I’ve seen in a long time. I was really happy (who knows why).

Oh god, then there was ring dance. It was a total Charlie Foxtrot! The music sucked the performance made all my D’s and date feel useless and unimportant. It was rushed and ill planned. I was pissed and my girlfriend was Really Pissed! I did get my ring though and I’m psyched that she got to give it to me. After ring dance we really got to let our hair down, literally and mentally.  The next morning though was the best top to a great weekend. We went hiking and got some amazing pictures. Even though it was cold as hell we saw some great wildlife and I even got some homework done, if you call it that. We ate at IHOP again and she went off back home. I know it’s just a week and she needs to get back and see the Scrapple but it’s going to be a busy, annoying week. Alright I teared up but I controlled myself. I can’t wait to get back up there and I think hiking is our new thing!
