Saturday: Ah, game weekend. I discovered the joys of Natural Selection - it's amazingly addictive, and I was actually becoming a decent Fade before I finally decided to sleep (around 6 AM? yikes...). Also played some DDR - just as addictive as Natural Selection, but at least you're moving around a lot more than your typical video game.

Sunday: Spent the afternoon over at Professor Brown's house with the other medieval history majors (Joe and Ryan) and their significant others (Emily and Katie), and Sam. :) It was really nice to just sit and talk with them about random mundane things... I don't think I've ever done that before. I've only interacted with Ryan in class discussions - I still find it funny that Ryan used to scare me when I was a freshman (he can be intimidating when he's arguing a point in discussion). I should probably get to know Professor Brown better... I rarely go by his office except when I need to discuss course offerings. Though that'll change next year for sure, when I'm working under him for my senior thesis. Emily and Katie I'd never met before - Emily's a music-ed major at WMU, and I was quite impressed with her. Joe, you have good taste. (And it turns out she doesn't hate flutists per se, only the hypercompetitive attitude typical of flautists. Boy was that a relief. :)

All in all, it was a relaxing afternoon/evening, dinner was really great (Brown made salad and pizzas... mmm), and the company was excellent. And thanks for coming, Sam. :)

The only downside? We missed the Magic draft at 8 PM for game weekend. :( But that's ok - Dan'll have another draft of Scourge in a couple weeks.

And now, it's time for me to work. Going to Santa Monica Pier tonight with Sam, Brian and Sarah, so I'd better get through all my German work and at least a few chapters of history before then.
