Farewells Etc.

Last week was a great week, although I didn't get up to ski nearly as much as I would like. Oh well, I'm sure there will be plenty of other opportunities. One thing I've taken for granted living in Salt Lake is how unbelievably close I am to great skiing (and the greatest snow on earth). I can literally roll out of bed at 8:20 in the morning and still get up to the mountain in plenty time for first chair at 9. Sometimes I forget how special this is; especially when I talk to my brother in Denver who says he has to leave the house by 6:30 am to get up to the slopes by 9. I just absolutely love living in Salt Lake!

This weekend was so much fun. Thursday night Ryan, Steve, Jeff, Trevan, and myself watched the Exorcist. I'm a huge wimp when it comes to scary movies, yet the Exorcist really wasn't that scary (of course, I really wasn't paying attention to the last half of the movie for various reasons... so I'm really not one to judge).

On Friday a bunch of my friends went to see The Savages but Sameera and I decided we wanted to catch up since we haven't seen each other in a while. So we decided to stay at her apartment and play Scrabble. Well, we never made it to playing scrabble but instead ended up talking for two hours. Sameera has to be the funniest person I have ever met in my life and every time I hangout with her I have such a blast, no matter what we are doing. After our ridiculous conversation we met up with Margaret, Rob, Jenny, Sebastian, Miriam, Jen, Megan, and Greg at Cocoa Cafe. It was great to see everyone.

Saturday was SUCH a lazy day for me, but I'm kinda glad I just took it easy because Saturday night was Curtis' farewell party at Brian Doughty's place. Let me tell you, it was the craziest party I've been to in a while and probably the most fun I've had a party since I cannot even remember. So great to see a bunch of peep's that I haven't seen in a while and meet new ones. The party didn't end until about 4am, although it didn't seem that late at all (probably cause I was so drunk). I'm bummed to see Curtis leave to Italy though. I only met him about five or so months ago but he was always a great concert going buddy or just someone to hangout and drink with. Plus he's from Kentucky as well... now that he's gone I'm probably the only person in Utah from Kentucky. I'll miss you Curtis and hope to see you in Italy sometime!
