halloween party.
chomping on candy corn and chips by the bar, n and i were staring at the tv, watching the last few minutes of game 6...very unusual considering that the atmosphere was meant to be for partying and dancing. g came to visit for the weekend from boston. what a weekend, i must say. if it wasn't for her, i wouldn't have gone out to check out the new haven grad life as much as i did...when she first came in, she was impressed with the layout of my room. =) i have recently refurnished a few corners and well, it's just more homey, i must say. i was extremely ecstatic to host her, especially since it's been several months since we fully caught up with each others' lives. it worked out really well considering that my mom just recently sent me my sleeping bag to snooze on the floor (feels better for my back).
friday night started after i slept through my MRI session. the loud annoying sound did not bother me at all. downstairs, a friend had a wine and cheese party. she must have had 50 candles lit around in her room---totally elegant and classy---somehow it made me think of c (and her offer of a luxurious bath). while we sipped wine (which according to someone had turned bad..eww), we just chit-chatted about our expectations and impressions of our time here in gradschool. i loved it. with the jazzy mellow music in the background, and homemade apple pie (mmm, yum!), i must say, g came out on a great weekend. she got to meet all my friends---from those i hang out with to those who i bicker with. by simply playing taboo!, i got a taste of what each personality was like. n was definitely a stubborn one. j was overly-hyper and panicky. b was, well, just a lost cause. =P g and i ended up staying really late talking, but of course, again, i fell asleep in the middle of our conversation. zzzzzzz....
i had no real expectations for the weekend; i had made no plans to be honest. but somehow, He blessed us with perfect weather and perfect friends to chill with. after being peer-pressured into getting a costume, i was then persuaded into going to gypc (pronounced gypsy) later that night for a 3-floor grad party. embarrassed and almost ashamed, i admitted that i had never stepped foot into that graduate bar since i've arrived in new haven. for one thing, new haven isn't all that big, and another, the fact that i've been here as a gradstudent for the last 2.5 months now without checking that place out really reflects the anti-social nature of lil ole me. nevertheless, i went...totally decked out for a party of halloween fun. i don't remember the last time i got dressed up for such an event, but halloween really has become a social thing for young adults. the party was definitely worth going for and g definitely had a blast. too bad i couldn't link some pictures up. =)
sunday, we dilly-dallied around Y. after several weekends of gloomy weather, He definitely blessed me with an awesome time with my girlfriend. i got to take g around to my favorite spots of Y....from the law library to the cementary to payne gym, we got to bond over cones of ashley's ice cream! =) after she took off to the train station, i ended up following her and cabbed her sleeping bag back to her. what a moment! ha. despite the recent brokenness of my physicality, i must say, this was one of the best weekends i've had since i've been here.....there's just certain things about close girlfriends that you can never share with anyone else.
