Saturday was a day of cleaning up after the party and just relaxing. Rachel and I watched some TV and basically didn't leave the house until around 7pm.
At 7 we all (meaning Rachie, Ashlee, Seba, and I who were joined by Rocky, a house friend) went to our favorite restaurant, Soul of the Orient. This place serves Chinese, Japanese, and Thai food. All while playing a light and fluffy Chinese song on repeat for the whole 2 hours you sit there. After dinner, Ashlee and Rachie returned to the house and Seba and i went on a mission to find the movie Anchorman. I have never seen it but after hearing so much about it, I had my heart set on watching it. We called the peeps (meaning Allison, Sam, Jason, and Mely) and found the movie.
I think if I were living in the US I would know what "normal" behavior is for someone my age. But I don't. I can't imagine that many college graduates have little movies nights like we do. I mean, maybe they do and that is totally the norm for 23 year olds. But it sometimes feels like I am in high school, or at least my freshman year of college. But I am not complaining. If Chile has taught me anything about growing up, it is that growing up too fast is overrated. That it is okay to be in that high school type of phase for a little longer.
Anyways, after the movie, conversations started in little groups and Sam and Mely and I began talking about relationships and our pasts. For those of you who were in Bible study with me, yes, I did pull out the non negotables, but i didn't get quite as far as the 5 steps to healthy emotional integrity... that is saved for the next time.
