Study Bubble

The bright lights trick all of the diligent students into forgetting that it is 2am. I have been here for hours. The Annex has become like a second home for me and my Classical studies. But I guess I should thank the gods for this educational space, because Zeus knows I would never get anything done anywhere else.

The only thing keeping me going right now is the knowledge that after this Latin test there is very few hours between me and John Mayer. I am so excited.

Anyways I need to get back to the Latin grindstone.

I've got dreams to remember you...

What started as an amazing week, ended with an AMAZING weekend.

Bella and Taylor came back to the city on friday, because Bella left her debit card in my wallet from St. Patty's day. We planned on just a quick lunch, but of course, we had to make it an adventure. I took the girls up on the roof for a little bit of scenic relaxation before lunch, and then we set sale for Squatt and Gobble.
After staring at the insanely extensive menu for what felt like an hour, the girls decided on what they were going to grub on, wait for it... in Golden Gate Park. It was a beautiful day and we simply could not pass it up. We drove to the very spot that made me love the park so much just a few weeks ago and spread out a towel.

Words cannot describe how AMAZING it was to be in one of my favorite places with two of my favorite people, on such a beautiful day in San Francisco. The adventure did not end there. We pack up our things and began exploring the park on foot, it is quite a maze.

Eventually we made it back to the car and then we thought it would be nice to go to Candybar, that little desert bar that I wrote about before, needless to say the girls LOVED IT!!!

After we were uncomfortably full, we went back to my house and then ran down to the beach to try and catch the sunset. We missed it, but it was still fun just sitting in the dunes with my best friends laughing till we were crying.

This was when the girls made their decision, THEY ARE GOING TO MOVE TO SF!!! I love that my passion for this city is infecting others. After a quick beach photo shoot, we floated to the land of drugs and bums, Haight and Ashbury, for a little bit of mischief.

After Haight, we returned to my house for some more best friend bonding on the roof, just looking at the lights of the city and listening to the sound of muni.

God, I love this city.

No night at TStreet and 21st would be complete without a little trip to the Shannon to visit my man Johnny, but the girls and I were soo tired, so after a few drinks, we cut out early and went back to the house.

The night could not have been better. We conquered the city. Just the tree of us. I am sooo looking forward to more adventures in this amazing city with these girls!!

And ladies... Dirty Rich will ALWAYS ALWAYS do us dirty!!!!

Gotta LOVE the Irish

So I have to say that St. Patty's was slightly more than successful. The Fab Four... Ali, Bella, Taylor and myself went to Cheesecake Factory for an early dinner. We couldn't help but spike our strawberry lemonades... God I love those girls.

Then we returned to my apartment, getting into the GREEN spirit in more ways than one! Again... I love those girls. We got ready together like old times, and of course the night would not be complete with out one of us having a wardrobe meltdown... last night was Ali's turn. :) Finally, we were ready to start the real celebrating, and we left to Mallory's for a night of mixing multiple alcohols and dancing.

At around midnight we decided that St. Patty's wouldn't be complete without a little trip to the Shannon Arms... and of course the Irish were having an AMAZING time.

I could not have asked for more on one of my favorite holidays! Honestly, it was amazing to be back with my girls drinking and being merry. I love sharing my city with people, and sharing it with the people who mean most makes all the difference!!!

Ali, Bella & Taylor... I love you girls to death... I can't wait for us all to grow old together... I know that I can always count on you guys to talk shit on the rest of the population (because they are all so much less perfect than we are). I love you all... Forever... No matter what... We will always have Jose, St. Patty's, spiked Strawberry lemonades, the Shannon, Seniores, and Sex and the City... I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Irish I was Drunk

Happy St. Patty's day!!!! I started the celebrations a few hours early last night at the Shannon, always a good time... Kristen and I then went to tacos at this delicious place in the Marina called, wait for it, Tacolicious.. I know AMAZING!!!

I love the Irish and nothing makes the Irish happier than being drunk on St. Patty's day!!! SOOOOOOOO STOKED!!!!

The girls are coming into SF tonight to celebrate the green festivities with me and then we are going to Mal's for St. Founder's Day!!! LETS GET WASTED!!!!!! If I make it through tonight I will write about what I remember!!! haha

Well I hope that everyone has an amazing day!!! GO GREEN!!!

11 days

Nothing but Sunshine

I'm sitting under the blue sky.

Yes blue, it happens sometimes in the wonderful city, and we have been blessed with three AMAZING days in a row. It seems so wrong to go to class on a day like this, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

I just want to take a nice nap on the green grass, but I fear that I would fail to wake up for Anthro. If I could just put my academic life on hold just while the weather is beautiful, I want nothing more than to be in Golden Gate Park right now with the people I love. I don't want the rain to come back, at least not until the winter returns.

The last few days have been some of my best in San Francisco. Saturday night Jessielyn and I celebrated St. Patty's day a little early at the Shannon. The St. Patty's Day Parade, which always occurs the closest Saturday to the 17th, is really just another excuse for the Irish to get wasted before the sun goes down... GOTTA LOVE THEM!!!

Emmett blamed my 7 Gin and Tonic's, and 3 beers, but I blame all the green for my blurred vision. Either way, blurred vision and all, I found a little pot of gold in the shape of Seniore's Hot wings!! YUM!!!!

Looking forward to St. Patty's day on Wednesday... Always a grand time...

Making good on my goals.

So I swore at New Years that I was going to take full advantage of the city, and so far I have been making good on my promise to myself. Today, was yet another gorgeous day in San Francisco, YES TWO IN A ROW, and I went to the Golden Gate Bridge with some of the sisters.

It could not have been a more beautiful day. And yes yesterday was beautiful too.

I love this city.
