Downtime

Yesterday morning started out really rough... but everything turned out okay, better than expected. We (Me and David) picked up Kevin's cousin from Toronto and spent the day showing her around Houston. There wasn't much to show... but we took her to some of our favorite spots.

Of course we had to go to Hokkaido. We are all sushi <3-ers>

Took Marilyn to the Galleria for some shoppingz! Another favorite of ours. Still in search of a hat, but this was not the one... haha Just playing around in Urban Outfitters.

Then we hit up The Chocolate Bar in Rice Village for some amaazzzing chocolate cake (right). This was a huge slice that reminded us of the cake from Matilda.... haha On the left is the Bayou City cake? I think that was what it was called. It had a somewhat fudge/mousse taste. And of course it was washed down with good ol' milk, does a body good :).

After we had stuffed ourselves silly and had big bellies we decided to swim! haha We headed to UH to swim in the outdoor pool, complete with a water slide. Then played an intense game of beach volleyball. We tied 1-1 and I walked away with a bruised up forearm.

After playing hard we were super thirsty and headed out to Boba Zone. We literally drove all over Houston today (well except up North..haha).

Then we were hungarrry and went nearby to FuFu. I ordered soup dumplings, but I was still stuffed from everything we ate all day.

Then we heading BACK to school for some late bowling. Team North America (David's team) kicked ass first round and then slowly lost steam... haha Woot my highest score yet, go Bertha :P

Yay! Finally caught up on my posts, I felt so bad for blogging such a half-assed post yesterday. As much as I like going out, I always feel guilty that I'm not studying. Today was the first day I've been home for the most part and it feels GREAT. Did some laundry, endless cleaning and packed... then headed to school to take care of some advising stuff. I recently began my med school applications and it is so TEDIOUS, and daunting..sigh. At least it will be over July 1st...happy day :) After that I headed to Texas Children's to volunteer at Ronald McDonald House. As soon as I got home I ate 2 bowls of spaghetti and started this post :)
