Weekend Review

Friday: Read all morning in bed, ate, read some more, finally got showered and dressed, drove to Foster's Market in Chapel Hill to eat a scone and read more, drove back to Raleigh to read more. This sounds like a lot of reading, and it was, but I'm pretty sure I did some puttering in there, too, and at the end of the day did not feel like I'd done enough.

Saturday: Got up and met Tess and Elizabeth to head to the NC State vs. Clemson football game. Sat in traffic on Hillsborough for almost an hour and then realized one of the other girls didn't have her ID to get into the game (which, thinking back, I don't think they ever checked anyway...), so drove back to her place and got it, then took a different route back to the stadium and quickly got in. Started counting how many times Elizabeth was jeered at for wearing orange and purple. Watched State lose from close seats in the end zone. Melted into a boiling puddle of sweat. Left during fourth quarter tired and hungry. Grabbed a sandwich on the way home and took a shower. Tried to read but took a nap instead. Started reading again around 8pm. Stopped reading to meet Tess for ice cream at 9:30. Read more from 11 until 3am.

Sunday: Slept in and went to late church service. Went downtown to hear some opera singers and symphony players, but only heard two opera songs before the symphony members left and didn't like the opera ladies when they switched to show tunes, so left. Happened to drive by a coffee shop downtown and stopped, which turned out to be my new favorite place. Read until they closed at 5. Home to read more, then eat and watch tv. Talked to parents and puttered on internet, now ready to read more.
