Come and relax now
Put your troubles down
No need to bear the weight of your worries
You let them all fall away (pantala naga pampa, dave matthews band)

i had such a great time up in davis on saturday!! it was picnic day which always makes me reminisce on all the great times i had at college. it's such a blast to go up there and still have such an awesome time.

the day started out with my mom and i parking and me opening up our schedule of events for the day. only to read that kelly albin was the grand marshall of the parade!! HELLO!! we hustled to campus only to watch the last float drive by. i can't believe i had no clue and we totally missed it.

my mom and i walked around for a bit, trying to figure out what we wanted to do, and remembered that we had never seen the chemistry magic show in all the years that we had been there. so we ran over to chem 194 only to see that the dorks in charge were holding on to all of the tickets and releasing them at different times during the day. lame. so we missed that once again, but did catch part of the physics magic show. yessssssssssssssssss.

we had lunch on the quad and grabbed lumpia and tacos. oh holy crap. those tacos had this incredibly spicy salsa on them. i was so hungry that i kept eating them, but they were so hot that they were making me cry. i had to run in the coffee house and order us some frappucinos to calm our hot mouths off. it was quite comical to watch us in obvious pain, but continuing to eat.

after that, we headed over to the arboretum to get a spot for battle of the bands. i was so darn excited that caitlin was going to be there!! it's so amazing to me that she's in college now and gets to experience all this stuff!! i love seeing her play for cal, and see how excited she gets when she plays. she seriously rocks!! i also ran into kelly and gave her a hard time for not telling me about the whole parade thing. that girl is so modest. hopefully we can catch up later for my birthday and party down at the lair. last but not least was catching up (sort of) with kassey. it was great to run into her for a short amount of time, and i hope that we can talk a bit more before her and i head off in different directions.

i had such a wonderful time visiting my campus again. smelling the nasty cows by tercero, feeling the warmth of the sun with no bay breeze to freeze you up, the bike lanes, just remembering all the little things about college that you might have forgotten. it had been a while since i was on campus, and it was so fun to go exploring in the different buildings and remember hilarious stories about classes or friends. davis is a part of me that i miss, and a part that i'm glad i experienced. it was totally random that i was accepted, and it was definately all part of god's plan. i'm really excited to see what he has in store for me next. woohoo!!
