A little piece of good news to share: Arielle, my best girl back home, got into UP! She's hoping to visit in April when she comes here with her choir. In addition to UP, she also got into ASU (AZ State), CSU SF and East Bay.
Despite being a single gal, my friends and I still celebrated Valentines day by watching movies and eating yummy desserts. On Friday night, three of my friends and I made cookies in the microwave. They stuck together, but turned out to be yummy. Twilight was playing on campus this weekend, and since I missed it in theaters at home, my friends and I went to see it. The movie wasn't quite as good as the book, but I'm glad to say that I saw the movie.
Yesterday my friends and I went downtown where we saw a movie and had dessert afterwards. We saw He's Just Not that into You, which was not my favorite movie, but the ending was sweet and my friends liked it. After the movie, we trekked to Rose's, a delicious bakery behind the Llyod Center. I had a latte and an excellent chocolate croissant that made me feel like I was in Paris again.

My parents also thought of me in honor of Valentines Day. My dad sent me cards (one was from Lily, my beloved kitty), a heart paperweight, and a pen he made in his wood turning class. I love how the pen feels, and homemade gifts rock! My mom sent me heart magnets and sticky notes, in addition to lots of goodies, which I've been sharing with my friends.
