Today is Monday 13 December 2010, and I am at Cameron's apartment working on my psychology essay.
I just wanted to let you guys know that my weekend was amazing, and a great conclusion to the semester!
Like I said in an earlier entry, on Friday (10 December) I went to Alexa's apartment because she was throwing a surprise birthday party for her roommate, which was great fun! Everyone brought desserts, and we ended up having, I think, over 50 cupcakes, a cake, a pie, and over 40 cookies. Between less than 20 girls. Haha! It was truly fantastic. I ate a lot of sugar, felt vaguely revolted at myself, and then had a nice cup of delicious tea. ^^
On Saturday 11 December, I worked on my psychology paper during the day, and in the evening I went to a comedy club with a friend of mine called Waleed. It was very fun and funny, and the comedians were great! They were Sunda Croonquist, James Harris, Erik Rivera, Jim Tavare, and Tiffany Haddish. My favorite one of the lot [by far] has to have been Jim Tavare, who claims to have been in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. His website is here;

His act was really good, and I'm glad to have seen it. All of the acts were funny, but his was in the best taste and was by far the most classy act; that is, he retained the most dignity of the five comedians.
On Sunday 12 December, which was yesterday, I went to the beach with Cameron, and it was gorgeous! I was glad to have made one last trip to Santa Monica beach before the end of the semester and the winter holidays, wherein I shall have three weeks of tramping about in New York's half-meter of snow. Lovely, but at the same time, I will miss the sun while I'm away from it.
Here are some photos of the beach that day...
I took this, I'm quite pleased with it. The horizon is a tiny bit crooked, but ah well, what can you do. :P
Cameron and I about to leave... We had to disturb some random girl reading Twilight to ask if she could take a photo of us. Haha. I felt kind of bad, but it's just Twilight, so it didn't really matter... ^^;
And this was the rest of the beach. I love Santa Monica beach, even if it smells kind of strange and the water is dirty. Sitting on the sand and looking around is one of the best ways to spend time if you're in the mood to relax and destress after a long semester of hard work. ^_^
Today, I've just relaxed. Karlene, my roommate, left for home today, so I'll be sleeping alone in the room tonight! Awh. It's interesting how accustomed one can become to the sounds of another person sleeping nearby at night.
I'm meeting a friend for dinner tonight in an hour, who will be studying abroad in London next semester. Ah that would be so fun, I'd love to study in London for a semester, but that would probably take away from my four year course plan, so... Probably not. Haha.
Well, that's all I have to say for now. I'll blog again sometime soon!
Until then,
