Day 8: Wins and Losses

Today was full of wins and losses.

The day started with me going to the Bookstore. I went to see if I could buy my books, keep them for a week, and then return them next week. Unfortunately, the UCSD Bookstore’s return policy was: Final Day to return books was today. That’s just great, UCSD. You lose money, I lose my ability to buy my books, and nobody wins in this tradeoff.

But, luckily shortafter, I got to see Michelle Song!!!!! We met up at Earl’s, where Leah was working, and where Brittney went to get a drink. After getting a drink, me & Michelle went to Pines, which was a fail because there was no stir fry. We went to Foodworx instead, and she got her wrap after-all (which she didn’t finish). Anyway, this was a win for the both of us because we got to catch up after not seeing one another for 6 months. (PS: She also has hair now). The only loss is now I won’t be able to see her again for awhile…. if not forever….

Loss: The 24 Marathon did not start as planned. Although it was supposed to start at 4:30, because of Tiffany’s fencing tournament, we did not actually start until 7:30. Fortunately for us – boardgames kept me, Geetha, Matt Diamond, Bee-John, and Brett entertained until the marathon started. That was a win. We played Loaded Questions (duh) and Cranium: Scribblish (a less obvious choice). [The picture of the day is thus Cranium: Scribblish because it allowed us the ability to all gang up and make fun of Geetha.] Then we went played with Legos and went to CV to eat once Bee-John left and Rashika came. The marathon finally started with me, Geetha, Matt, Brett, Rashika, Ryan Nock, Tiffany Saw, Daniel Jenkins, & Brian (at Ryan’s place). We stopped at hour 5 cause it was a more natural place to stop. Although it didn’t go on for as long as I had hoped, it was still fun. And thus a win & loss in and of itself.
