school's out for the winter

I finished up projects and tests for fall term last Wednesday and have spent much of the time since then catching up on much-needed sleep, but have also been having my fair share of fun.

As soon as Lis was done with us and our campaigns, Nate, Lindsay and I headed down the block for beers at the Cheerful Tortoise. Nate made this list and then promptly left it at the bar. That guy.

Faye came to visit! We ate, we walked, we shopped, we drank, it was all wonderful. Spending time with old friends who I can talk about any and everything with is so therapuetic.

Dawn organized a hang session with some of my favorite people from our program and we had a grand old time. Nachos were eaten, jokes were made, and shitty trivia was attempted and then abandoned.

Dawn broke out Cards Against Humanity and hilarity ensued. And to think I thought Apples to Apples was the best game ever!

Then Olivia visited! Again, we ate, we walked, we drank, and we made moves to make 2013 a million times better than 2012. And we plotted tattoos. This picture is of the ploughman's breakfast I whipped up for us, it was perfect and delicious.

And finally, my Simple debit card finally arrived! Until my direct deposit transfers over, I won't be able to say how this is aiding my goal of a fiscally responsible 2013, but it sure is beautiful, and the accompanying app is pretty cool.
