Hey there folks...guess it's about that time to write another blog as yet another week has simply blown by. Often times I have to go back and check out the previous week's blog to figure out what day things started and stopped on. This week is no different...and now I'm caught up!
Ok, so this week has been pretty exciting but only because I have more students to tutor, I've scheduled myself a tutor for calculus because my confidence isn't exactly supreme that I'll pass that class. Furthermore, not only do I want to pass that class, but I want to get an A in it. I don't want to have to settle for anything less than mastering the given topics. There simply isn't any reason to try my hardest for this "college" thing. ha!
The last few days have been the pinnacle of the week though, and I suppose I'll start with The Tastes of Denver. This is a festival where a lot of restaurateurs get together and have sample sizes and meal size portions on hand to sell for tickets. It's a pretty standard token society so that there is always a chance that they will make more money than what you give them simply because of the token conversion. The point though, is that the food was for the most part delicious. I had a list on my phone of everything that I ate, but somehow between then and now, I've managed to delete it. I remember that we had perogies, grilled mac and cheese, shrimp tacos, chicken wrapped in bacon (DELICIOUS!) fried alligator, lamb meatballs, and much more. On the drive home I was in full blown nap mode but by the time I got home, I was on my second wind.
The second wind turned out to really work the better, instead of just staying up and playing mindless computer games, I went out with this girl from my calc class and a few of her friends who really turned out to be more good people. My initial expectations were low, but clearly I approached the evening with a misinformed opinion. The night was relatively creative to most of my other nights out. We started out at a gas station so that we could carpool and then promptly drove to a Taco Johns. For those of you who don't know what a Taco Johns is, it's like a Taco Bell, but better in my opinion. Now, we started this night off already at 1015 or so, that means that the taco bell lobby is closed, but apparently that's totally fine because we straight up walk into the back of the TJ's prep area. It was just a foreign experience to me because I've never worked in the food industry. From there we drove to pick up another girl and then off to the hookah bar.
The hookah bar was much more packed than I thought it would be for being Cheyenne. Although, this IS Cheyenne, so maybe that's why the bar is full. We get a clutch corner spot, and sit back, and enjoy the evening. More girl friends join the group. I don't want to say that I looked like a pimp, but it didn't hurt being surrounded by several attractive girls. I won't get into the details of the night, but I would most definitely call it a successful evening regarding making new friends.
The following evening -Sunday night- I went out again with three of the girls from the night before to a Habatchi grill, called East Moon in Ft. Collins. I tried more sushi than I had before, and to my delight, I loved it. My previous experiences with sushi was not pleasant, so it was refreshing to enjoy the flavors of well constructed sushi. The actual Habatchi portion of the meal however, barely qualified as mediocre. I simply could have eaten the sushi and been on my merry way, satisfied.
After returning to Cheyenne, I had a long chat with one of the new friends and it turns out we have tons in common. She's pretty cool, but first impressions have misleading in the past. We'll see.
I hope your week goes well my friends, and with any luck you enjoyed your Monday off for Labor Day.
