weekender

I'm leaving to go to the Bay area right after my class today. I'm so excited!! The next few days marks the USC annual weekender, where each year almost the entire campus migrates up north to watch USC football play either Berkeley or Stanford. This year it is Stanford. I'm driving up with my suitemates from last year Angie, Hilary, and Leona and then we are staying at Angie's house in San Jose. I have tickets to sit with my sorority which will be cool, but I didn't want to stay the whole weekend with them because it was too much hassle trying to find people to ride up with and stay in a hotel with. I would love to visit with my friends going to school up in Northern CA, but I don't think there will be much time. Maybe i could make a trip later for that. Last year when I stayed the night at Berkeley, I left to meet up with my USC group early the next morning, but the bart wasn't open yet so I had to take a bus into the city and then wander around the streets for a bit before taking the BART to my hotel room. It was kinda scary being lost by myself in the city, but it's nice that you can take the BART pretty much anywhere. I made it back safely, but i forgot to call home to let my mom know that I was fine and in the meantime she called caitlyn and kris who told her I had left....mayhem ensued. My parents were pissed later that I had been wandering the city and didn't call, but it all worked out.

Ive got an insane amount of homework to do this weekend and have to study for two midterms that are on Tuesday. I dont really know why Im going on this trip, except that I had bought my ticket and made arrangements before I knew about all these tests. I'm taking my binders up so hopefully I'll be able to get some studying done in the car on the way there and back. We just had a quiz in French on Wednesday and now we are already having our midterm this upcoming Tuesday. It definitely feels like I'm in school mode now.


It's getting late so I've got to go pack. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
