Craziest Week Ever
Have any of you ever watched that VH1 show Best Week Ever? I'm not sure my week qualifies at the best week ever, but it was certainly the craziest.Last Friday: Sereena picks me up at 6:30 am to go to the "Running of the Brides" at Filene's in Friendship Heights. She found a dress that was originally $1,000+, and bought it at more than 75% discount. Then, at dinner, I knocked a whole glass of water on Sereena's lap.
Saturday: Anne and I borrow Sereena's car to go camping. I hit a pothole and the tire explodes. We're saved by a man with a gun on his belt. Yay Virginia.
Sunday: I work from 2:30pm to 2:30am. So much for starting the week rested.
Monday: I take 13 students to San Phan (a Thai restaurant) for lunch, and then teach them how to use the Metro. On Monday night, we had a BBQ at my boss' house with ambassadors, professors, and business people (I'm thinking it would be inappropriate to name drop my personal blog). It was a fun little shindig around the pool.
Tuesday: I have to rush across town at lunchtime to pay for a meal that no one else has money to pay for. It was over $300 (for 23 people). Glad my credit card wasn't rejected.
Wednesday: Had a meeting with my boss, a well-known Senator, and one LA. Definitely haven't had occasion to sit around a table with a Senator before. Baked cupcakes for all the students/interns (2 birthdays!)
Thursday: Went to a party at the Singaporean Embassy, and was possibly hit on by some crazy guys from the State Department's Protective Service division.
Friday: TGIF. Can't believe I actually made it! Went to a social event with the students in Dupont Circle, then to TangySweet and to see Inception with my roomie and her boyfriend. Almost feel asleep during the movie, but who can blame me after such a crazy week?
And now it's Sunday. Time to do it all again. Have to call China tonight, my parents will be in town on Monday, taking the students to the Nats game on Wednesday, going to Charlottesville on Friday, sushi-making class on Saturday, etc.
