The Weekend File

I was thinking the other day (I'll give you a minute to climb back onto the chair you just fell off), and I'm not quite sure why you guys read my blog. I'm in Madison, in the midst of cow-loving, cheese enthusiasts. Sure UW-Madison is a crazy college town filled with fun people and good times, but it's not like I'm eating this apparently amazing cheese in France (hey, Jonah and Jon!), walking on cobble-stoned streets in Italy (what-up, Becca?), trying to book travel plans and giving the wrong passport information in Sevilla (miss you, Eck!), surfing in 96-degree weather in South Africa (told you I read your blog, Jeremy), giving London a "stern talking to" (Z Mills), or live in ZBT where anything and everything goes (Z Richards, how you doinn?). So, I just want to thank everyone for reading this, especially the one or two people I didn't force to ;).

So what's been going on lately? Well, on Thursday night, I went on an adventure to the movie theatre (and when I say adventure, that's no exaggeration). Mickey and I thought it would be a great idea to buy wine at the theatre, being the sophisticated college students we are. Turns out, not such a good idea. For those of you who know me, I'm a one and done kind of girl, and let's just say I was trying to find the bathroom in the theatre, got lost and ended up at the bank across the street.

On Friday, my birthright trip had a reunion, where Noah and I kicked some tush at beerpong (and by kick some tush, I mean we won by a cup) and four of our friends on our trip from San Diego came to visit. I miss you guys, come back.

(Game winning shot...not really, but shot at some point in the game)

On Saturday, Alyssa and I went on a date to Tutto Pasta and then went to Zeebs and left with everyone to the Purim ball at Zander's. It was so much fun and I was witness to a few relationships sprouting - Purim just brings people together. Danny Solarz got sour cream on his shoe and it just blew his mind, as he would not stop talking about it for the next two hours. I've heard of crazier things but hey, to each his own.

On Sunday, my "little" gave me a gorgeous paddle that looks like snow. If you guys have problems envisioning it (although I have a pretty dead on description), here you go:

And on Sunday night, Alyssa, Joel, Benny Ginsberg (shout-out to Benny, a really cool and hilarious freshman), and I ate Gino's for dinner. Joel, Alyssa, and I were supposed to go pick it up and Benny's only responsibility was to order it. Turns out, he ordered four spaghetti bologneses under the name Vladimir, a 300-pound Russian. We had to explain to the waiter that Vlad was hungry. Very hungry.

And now, I just want to take this moment to shout-out to one of my really good friends and the craziest girl I know (seriously, if you guys only knew the stories. Actually, I'm sure many of you do), Jake-qui Black. She's my little mashugannah (that's how Jonah told me to spell this word - not sure if he was joking), and I found the cutest picture of her when she was in high school. And by "I found," I mean she literally searched for a picture herself and asked me to put it on my blog.

That's all for now! See you back here soon! (Or, at least that's what I'm telling myself.)
