a lovely day
After a very long week, the past couple days have been quite lovely.
Yesterday my roommate and I went out for Mexican to celebrate her paper being accepted. \o/ There was a 45 min wait so we ended up killing time by shopping at Trader Joe's for a while. (lol, fascinating I know). Then I ate waaaay too much and it was fabulous.
Then I went home and crashed before midnight because I taught ALL DAY on Friday after 2 hrs sleep (maybe). I was up on Thursday watching news coverage from Japan. If I think about that tragedy for too long, I want to cry. I have a friend who is teaching in Sendai now and I was really worried about her. And then after I knew she was okay, I was just sitting and crying at the Al Jazeera livestream coverage.
But yes. Today I did something fun though! I went to a meetup, in the real world, with people I had never met before! (And I know what you're thinking. 'but Carolina, you spend all summer continually taking trips with people from the internet for concerts'. BUT I PROMISE THIS FELT DIFFERENT). So yes, it was a Sherlock meetup! Got to have some lunch and fun talking with people who ~get fandom and flail and all that lovely stuff. And I think it actually restored some of the faith I had lost in fandom recently (see: last entry) by reminding me that it IS fun and there are lots of awesome people who I can talk to about my interests. So yay for that.
Also it reminded me that Anime Boston is next month and OH GOD I NEED TO SEW/FIX THINGS ON MY COSPLAY.
Anyway. It has been a good day. :D
