New Year's Eve Writing a Paper

Yep, it's New Year's Eve. Chris, my parents and Liam went to a party, and I stayed here to write a paper. It honestly didn't feel like a sacrifice. I'm in such workaholic mode that it's difficult to take a step back and see the insanity that our lives are. However, Chris and I were able to go on a date last night, which was great - we went to Urban Oasis in Inman Square to soak in the tubs - even more amazing, though, was that we were able to meet Allison and Adam for a drink afterwards - Ok, it wasn't really a drink, though Chris did have a beer. It was more like a big pseudo deli, and I had potato pancakes and we all dipped into desserts....Yes, we are getting old - the loud bar or sophisticated martini thing just wasn't our scene, though, admittedly it was mostly b/c we wanted to catch up with each other, which was great. OK, all of you other friends, we are waiting to see you, too. Ufortunately, we don't have the bucks to come out to the Bay Area....:( as planned. We are living off pure debt right now. Welcome back to student land - same debt, fewer years to pay it off.
