Michelle:

This weekend we decided to play some tennis and go out for my friend Zack’s birthday! It was a great weekend although it was kind of short because we had an academic Saturday, which was, well… Bleh. It’s as if there was no weekend, but we worked around it.

On the actual day of his birthday, Zack’s friend put balloons and a huge poster in his room (since he’s his best friend we got him to do it since we can’t be in his room.) And since his birthday was on a school day, there was nothing we could really do to celebrate that day, so we waited for the weekend.

On Friday night we went out to Three Rivers cafe within walking distance of my school. It was just the four of us. The food they serve at Three Rivers is great. You can have an old-fashioned burger, or great Italian pasta, or just a simple salad. Those are my favorite dishes while Zack likes the seafood, which I don’t particularly like at all. After dinner, we just hung out at the dorm and watched a movie until it was time to check in at our dorms and go to sleep since the next day was indeed a class day.

In order to arrange the dinner we had to have done all our homework in advance. I know, we are such over achievers! The next day was an academic Saturday so we were in class until about noon, but after school we headed down, this time the five of us, to play some tennis.

One of my other friends is quite the tennis player. He had a lot of skill and had been playing for a long time! Varsity material right there! He taught us some of his skills and gave us tips to help us with our backhand, topspin, and of course serving, which isn’t particularly my strength in tennis. We are all very excited now that the tennis season has begun!

That Sunday was spent sleeping in and not going to breakfast until 11:30, and then relaxing and doing homework. Later on my friend, Maggie, and I decided to watch an episode of psych (I got her hooked.)

It was a packed weekend with all of our activities, but we love spending time with each other and it went by really fast. Before I knew it, we were already into a new week of school!
