Today has been an amazing day. I had a really weird dream that woke me up around 9:30 (something involving monkeys, coconut bombs, and tigers...), so I was able to actually relax a bit before I had to drive back to Athens. After driving on the most boring stretch of road in the country and unpacking my laundry, I attempted to give myself a pedicure. I didn't do the best job in the world, but at least it doesn't look like I've been living barefoot in the jungle for the past 8 years anymore. Overall, a vast improvement.

Then, the guy came to pick me up to go see Slumdog Millionaire, which was, I have to say, a really good movie. I was skeptical at first, because more often than not I don't like the Oscar nominated movies, as they tend to be kinda out there. And who would think that a movie based on the Indian version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" would actually be a decent show? Not me.. but I liked it. Go see it.

The guy was amazing. He actually opened the car door for me, which shocked me - I've never gotten the gentleman treatment before. There was a steady stream of conversation (I found out he had an attack turkey as a child... and no, I'm not kidding), and he's really fun to talk to, even though he needs to learn to enunciate for people like me who are practically deaf/have selective hearing. We didn't get to go to dinner unfortunately, because the movie ran long, and he had a meeting he had to go to, but that's alright... mostly because it practically guarantees a second date =]

I ended up having dinner with one of our pledges at a place called Your Pie. It's a pretty good pizza place that had the most amazing gelato - the vanilla bean tastes like straight-up cake batter. I was quite satisfied. So now I'm sitting here, fat and happy, about to start on my lovely paper again.

Let's hope this was a great start to a great week!
