Well, this week has certainly been an interesting one!
First, there was a
fire in an office/Tiffany jewelry building near where I live yesterday, which screwed up traffic tremendously and smelled horrible. Nobody was hurt.
I actually got some work done in classes that I'
m behind in. I know that's not big news, but it is for me. xP
Today, my roommate was going to meet her older sister and needed me to come wait with her because it was getting dark, but when I went to find her, I was met with blocked off roads, insane traffic, huge crowds of people and a lot of difficulty finding a place to cross the street because there was railing set up everywhere like there was going to be some sort of parade. So I asked some random folks what was going on, and the reason for all the hullabaloo turned out to be that
Obama was in town, staying in a hotel that's really just a few blocks away from me. I heard a man talking to a homeless guy say 'I came to protest Obama. I can
see that we're on different sides.' What an asshole. D:
So I found a place to cross the street, met with my roommate and met her sister and her sister's friend's husband. I had no idea what was going on aside from the fact that I had gone to meet her so that she wouldn't feel unsafe waiting alone with it dark outside, but we ended up taking the Muni to Haight street and going to a cute little French restaurant, where we had rather crazy conversations with my roommate's sister's friends, lots of crude humor. It was great. I tried escargot, didn't like it, and rediscovered how much duck really does taste like bacon.
Then we came back to the dorm. The end. =D
