Spring Break Listlog

Wow, I had so much fun. I did something almost everyday. The days I missed — first day of spring break (because I had USC stuff to fill out) and the last day (today because of homework I’m avoiding right now). I’ve a bad memory, so forgive me if things are wrong.

Wednesday

  • missing my nap to go cruising to Chris’s, Ian’s, Richard’s, and Ryan’s house multiple times without jamming
  • finally getting to jam with Richard, Chris, Ryan, Ian, and Craig at Ian’s house, after seeing some weird guy show up who definitely did not look like he wanted to deliver a chair
  • getting free hot and sour soup at Lite Wok with Ryan
  • Poker night, reading Andrew like he’s my bitch, but still losing to his pockets

Thursday
