Bright Lights...Big City

Whats up in my life you ask?!?...well maybe you don't ask but I'm gonna tell you anyway!

So, Thursday I found out that I was accepted to Pratt Institute in New York. I'm super excited about it because I just figured that it was a shot in the dark applying to an architecture graduate program without having an undergraduate degree in architecture. Now, I'm trying to find out about UT. I called this morning and they said that they would call me back and of course this is the morning that I forgot my cell phone. I guess I just need to visit New York and get accepted into UT and then the hard part comes...making my decision.

This weekend was absolutely beautiful! I got off early on Thursday (everyone knows and envies that my weekends start on Thursday) and went to the gym and laid out by the pool. It was muy bueno...don't think I got any sun though. Friday was a bit chilly to lay out but it was still pretty. I went to the new Whole Foods off of 6th st. I was slightly disappointed as of having heard that there was a chocolate fountain and I didn't see any chocolate fountain. They did have a cool escalator for shopping carts and bag pick up where someone loads your car for you. Pretty cool but damn them for the lack of a chocolate fountain!

Had an early dinner Friday night with Jeff (artichokes and quiche) and then met up with Renee for a margarita or two at Chuy's. Gave her her b-day present (month and a half late). Then left and met up with Jeff and Mell downtown. We partied it up 4th street style....meaing expensive drinks but a nice posh and comfortable environment. Started out at Oslo's and then ended up at Cuba Libre sippin' on Mojitos. Met up with Jeff's friend Sicily and her guy friend....very enjoyable evening.

Saturday I had full intentions of going on a hike but ended up instead washing my car, laying out by the pool and throwing an impromptu bbq. Oh and my car got keyed in the HEB parking lot b/c I inadvertently stole someone's space...well I actually did know that there were 3 other people trying to get the same spot but I just got there first. The bbq was fun and very yummy. Jeff did the grillin' and I did all the running back and forth between my apt. and the grill...doesn't seem too bad except there are at least 3 flights of stairs between the two spots. I got talked into going downtown again Saturday night...I didn't mind though b/c I got to spend time with Faye. I told her that I wanted to throw her a naughty "tupperware" bridal shower.... and she's totally crazy about the idea.

Sunday, breakfast with Jeff and Manny Hattan's and then off to work. I met Jeff for Frisbee golf afterwork (I just watched). Went home and made dinner, watched a movie, slept and then it was off to work again to start another week! I'll keep everyone posted as to the status of UT...till I write again!
