mission: to finish a vermonster before leaving college
venue: barrack's road ben and jerry's
20 scoops of ice cream, four ladles of good good fudge, tons of toppings and 14 college kids (me, shraddha, ulka, jing, justin, minh, kristin, joyce, lorenzo, selma, freni, anh, vickie, ivy) who starved for the day = vermonsterfun
monday: last day of class
...bartending class, that is. after an eight-week run and 75 drinks we bid farewell to "getting *:) and gettting no work done" Monday nights. i consider myself now a well-informed bartender. next time i go to bars i'd order the most pretentious drink ever...just to test the bartender.
tuesday: get your free cone!
it's ben and jerry's free cone day AND kohr brother's 5 cent cone day. sweeeeeet! after picking up ruth (who was sitting in her room in her lacy panties...winkwink!) and justin/jing/pauline/lorenzo at the comm school, we headed to ben and jerry's to satisfy another ice cream fix. yummy. i didn't get to go to kohr brother's but my roommates saved me some.
wednesday: greg's party
mission: (according to anh) to visually rape greg d. and hopefully send him to the hospital after the unforseen surprise.
venue: Brown College -Tucker Lounge/Harrison and First Wok
what do you do if one of your friends' birthdays is during the summer? well, you throw him a surprise party almost two months before because you know he will never EVER suspect it. And that's just what we did.
memorable quote of the night: after asking greg why he believed that the tunnel outside tucker lounge was deemed a biohazard after some dude puked in there...
I knew Anh wouldn't lie to me.
He was sooooo wrong. we had a whole google group dedicated to his surprise party.
thursday: IHOPping
since there is nothing to do on a rainy and gross thursday night (bars are out of the question because you have to walk all the way there and back) , a small group of us decided to go to IHOP and abuse their thursday's 50% off student discount. (my suggestion to go to Buddhist's was vetoed by anh. hey, i didn't know it was an open air bar!) even with the semi-crappy service and the incompetent check out lady, i still had fun. bacon and good company always make me smile.
friday: viva italia!
gelato is italian for the best frozen dessert EVER. need i say more? i thank splendora for opening at the downtown mall. what's next? head over to christian's to get some pizza. i had a calzone and all was good.
saturday: asian night
after india day at the paramount (i still don't know how they managed to get the historic paramount for india day. i give them props just for that.), we decided to ditch the free indian food at newcomb and head to the dumpling place (aka marco and luca...as if anyone really knows). except that the dumpling place was already closed. how disappointed was i? not so much since we immediately decided to go to that new thai place - lime leaf. good thai food and excellent service but thai99 is still the best.
