I had a good weekend, although it certainly could have been better. I say that because I found out on Friday afternoon that my high school speech coach’s husband died, so I went home to go to the funeral, which was on Saturday. After the funeral, my weekend got fun! I went out to lunch with my grandma Betty and I saw a couple of teachers who I hadn’t seen for a couple of years, and it was really nice to see them. They were a couple of my favorites. Then, I drove to Muncie and had dinner with Taryn and her parents. It was great to see them because I hadn’t since Christmas. Then, I drove to Indianapolis and visited with some of my friends at Butler. The fraternity was having a party and so there were a lot of people there, including Lauren. She said that she had fun hanging out with me because she felt like part of my entourage. I guess I’m kind of popular because it seemed like every two minutes someone new was coming up and giving me a hug.

That night, I spent some quality time with my friend, Leal. We hadn’t spent much time together since I was a Junior because we both got extremely busy with other things before I moved. It was great to catch up with him. We stayed up all night playing cards. Before we knew it, the sun was coming up and so we decided to go to bed. I didn’t get up until 1:30 on Sunday!

Lauren and I went out for lunch around 3:00. We went to Yat’s, which is one of my favorite restaurants. I had been craving some etoufee from Yat’s for a while. There are no good cajun restaurants in Oxford, so I was glad to eat there in Indy. Then, on Sunday evening, I led a LEAD session for the fraternity’s new members, and then sat in during their chapter meeting because they were having a ceremony. It was nice to see everyone.
