Crazy Weekend
I can't believe it's sunday already. It was a crazy fast weekend, where I did alot but didn't really get much accomplished over all. Friday night, I stayed late at work and then met up with Jena, Trina, and a bunch of GDs/MPs from work for happy hour at Zebbs. About 5 drinks later I had forgotten about my crappy work week and was loving life :-) Seymen came to pick me up and we had a late dinner at Shiki. We arrived at around 9:45 and just made last call for dinner. Maki and I recorded the answering machine message there too! I did the english portion and Maki did the Japanese. Seymen said that I did really well for having 5 drinks in me ;-)
Saturday morning I went to work with Seymen and spent all day trying to write this business simulation. We finally broke around 7PM. My mind was fried. All my creative juices were gone and I had only come up with 12 different nodes. I had even started over and deleted a bunch of nodes too...Grrrrr...Chad had just arrived back from his spontaneous vacation in Saratoga, and he and Sara agreed to meet Seymen and I at Shiki. We passed Thaun and Chau as they were leaving :-) It was great to finally meet Sara! She's so sweet. She and Chad are so cute together. We had a lovely dinner just talking and getting to know Sara :-)
Today Seymen woke up and left for work at 8:45am. I woke up when he left and continued working on the biz sim. Last night after dinner we came back and I worked for another hour but ended up deleting so many more nodes that I wanted to kill myself. But this morning the creative juices were flowing and I banged out more than half of the sim. At 12:30 I went to teach english and I have been working on my sim ever since. Seymen and I just finished eating dinner. He bought a package of Omaha Steaks/Burgers etc. on the Internet, so we tried out the burgers tonight...Now I need to finish the sim, and review 4 different topics for 4 different courses, all before work tomorrow morning.
So, as you can see...I think it was a productive weekend, where I did a whole lot of work...but didn't get that much accomplished for 7:50PM on a Sunday night. My only saving grace is that Desperate Housewives isn't on TV tonight so I won't have to break for that.
Anyway...back to the grind as they say...I wish I could get a spurt of creativity and just finish this sim up...I wish writing a sim were as easy as posting in my blog. I'd have written all 4 this weekend if that were the case!!!
