I need to rethink the weekends. With my old job, I could go all out and spend my week at work recovering. Now, with my new position, I need the weekend to recover from the job itself. I have a feeling this is going to be a learning process.
Friday:
-Holiday!
-Returned sweaters at Tysons (apparently, I'm a small now)
-Went to Fair Oaks with Joe and Joey
-Dinner at Ruby Tuesday
-Laughing at ice skaters at Pentagon City with Joe and John (hilarity)
Saturday:
-Best waste of a day ever
-Slept in
-Cleaned the kitchen and living room
-Watched Infernal Affairs
-Took a nap
-Mallory's house for girls' night
-Rainy
-3am trip towards Richmond with Curtis for the hell of it
Sunday:
-Still rainy
-Parents' house
-Laundry
-Chicken for dinner
-My mommy loves me and bought me nice mixing bowls
-Phone call from an old friend who I haven't talked to in years

Writing.
I wrote this when I was 17 and it got me into college. When I was 19 it was published in our college journal. I didn't want to write until after I was 21. Don't worry, there are no typos.
