ah what a day. the best and the worst, i think. it started with the three hours of sleep (which is about half of what i usually get during finals week, but there was so many details in pharm that i didn't know yet :P) and then the final, which actually turned out not to be the worst part of my day. wow, thinking about today, actually i was busy! then we went out to lunch to celebrate bernette's XXth's birthday (happy late bday, bernette!) with a huge crowd at Pluto's. That was fun. Then my next task was to find a pair of ice skates so I can start to learn in Korea - that was the hard part. They closed part of the 5 freeway (how can you close down part of the 5 freeway?!?) and getting around it took roundabout route and about an hour in traffic. not fun. and when I FINALLY got to the ice rink where they sold the ice skates, no one was there at the store... and I was about to kick myself for having driven all that time to get here for no reason. but for some reason, i was about to take off when my guardian angel, in the form of an old man carrying a windex bottle, just started to ask what I was looking for, and was so nice to me (I think I needed a friend at that moment). I think he owned the place - he said the shop was separate from the ice rink, but helped me pick out a pair of skates and helped me pay for them!! I was so happy - now I can take lessons with my sister instead of sharing one pair of skates.

The best part was hanging out with my friends - we had a Christmas party at Randie's house. It was so much fun, nothing extraordinary, just talking and hanging out and eating too much food and taking pictures. we played the friends game - the game that they played on the tv show, "Friends". It was perfect - you learn a lot about your friends. We found out who among us had been in a cat fight~ hilarious. (you know who you are ^^) The mistletoe also created an awkward moment with three guys. :) The gift exchange was fun too. I got a Starbucks gift card, which was perfect to feed my recent pumpkin spice latte cravings. (are cravings seasonal, too?)

I guess in all it was a perfect day. The bad with the good. Busy, but good.
