A Weekend Exploring SLU

This weekend was a pretty low-key one. Those who participated in rushing were pretty exhausted, and set the tone for the weekend. On friday we decided instead of going to bowling that a group of us would take salsa dancing lessons. That didn't end up working out, so we just hung out in the dorms and watched movies. We watched She's The Man in Lily and Bailee's room, and the first half of Saving Private Ryan in Luke's room.

Saturday was filled with STUDYING. Gah, there is SO much work to do! Saturday night was another slow night. Appetites started to growl at 11pm, and by that time kitchens were closed and the restaurants were 21+. We settled on making some homemade pasta in the lounge with our combined food, but we went to get the key and they said it was missing. boo! So then we (Me, Lucie, Erin, Luke, Katie, Peter, Melissa, and Ally) decided to treat ourselves to some Vito's. Vito's is a restaurant directly across from the aviation school. It's Sicilian Italian food...and it is GOOD!!! We split pizzas, gelato, pasta, and lots of other really good Italian dishes. It's a really cute restaurant that is open until 3am. We finished dinner at about 12:30pm. A few of us went to Joe and Max's room and listened to their new demos. After that we just hung around the dorms and played some practical jokes...

Yesterday was more homework, homework, and homework. Our floor adopted a betta fish (we named him ferdinand), and Erin Katie and I got some grocery shopping done and a few other errands. Erin bought a fake arm to hang on their door...we named him chester. After working hard all day we went to 10pm mass, then attempted to do laundry, but all the machines were being used, so we gave up.





Sunday was also our second SLU ETF (environmental task force) meeting. Me, Erin, Kaite, and Adam are the t-shirt committee, and we designed this shirt to sell to all SLU students:


front


back

Of course, we are printing it on American Apparel t-shirts!

I just got back from dinner at Au Bon Pain with Dani, Lily, Bailee, and Trisha and am hoping to finish my homework in the next 3 hours!

EDIT: Howard Dean spoke on campus (behind gries, my dorm complex) on Saturday. He was actually pretty horrible. Obama would have been pretty embarrassed, no joke. Here is a picture:





Not to mention, it looks like he got his suit from the Salvation Army. Just a thought.
