hey
It is currently 12:30 and we just got home from our adventure of the night about an hour ago. Lexi had gone out with her boyfriend and we were sick of being at home and staring at screens and we had a project due today so we just wanted to get out. We ended up going to one of my favorite dinners at pismo beach called cool cat cafe. They have THE best fries and milkshakes and then afterwards we drove around for like two hours listening to bops, walking along the beach, and watching the stars on the pier. It was fun- spontaneous adventures like that have started to become a norm and I must say that they make me oh so happy. After we got home tonight Lexi also got home and then we all just laid in my bed, it was a nice feeling. It's been nice to have them here with me.
Let me just start at the beginning. Oh was it an eventful journey. We left on friday morning around 4 am and I was adding the last minute items into the trunk. My sister came to help me push stuff in because it was pitch dark and a few minutes late as I am closing the trunk my sister goes "where's my phone" and I keep trying to shut the trunk assuming its the suitcases resisting until I connect the dots open the trunk and find the phone sitting in the latch where the trunk would be absolutely destroyed. oops. She then took my old phone and my dad started driving but he kept swerving because he was tired and after about 30 minutes I took over. I wasn't really tired probably because I was excited but I drove for the first 5 or 6 hours or so until he took over again. Those first few hours were rough tho bro there was so much fucking roadkill and I couldn't swerve around them so I had to go over and it just hurt my heart so bad. When we usually drive to arizona we do it in two days but driving in one day actually wasn't that bad but that probably also because we now have four drivers to rotate through. Anyways, we got to arizona, spent that night and the next day there, it was good to see everyone and I think both families were happy to break the bubble a bit and enter a somewhat normal fantasy for a bit. On Sunday we started the drive down to slo and were on schedule to reach early and I was so excited because I really wanted to take my parents and aish to montana de oro- my favorite place in slo- but of course as you know all our travel journeys have to have some hiccup and eddy ended up getting a large ass nail in his tire and we had to lose 2 hours to get it replaced and by the time we got to slo, dropped my stuff off, and grabbed my stuff out of storage it was too late to go. Instead we ordered food from my favorite cafe and ate dinner picnic style on the lawn outside the architecture building and my heart was so happy. It feels insanely good to be back- I knew I had missed it, but I didn't realize how intensely until I came back here. Anyways, after dinner we just started setting up and my parents spent the night here. Their initial plan was to drive back first thing in the morning but they ended up leaving after lunch so I could still take them to see montana de oro. I think my mom was really sad to leave me. After having the first day cut short they booked a hotel for another night but then decided it wasn't the safest option so backed out. I definitely miss them.
Later that day Sara and Indigo moved in and started setting up. Sara and I got real close real quick. I'd say that Sara and I may be closer now then Indigo and I was. Our relationship and dynamic works so well together and I am so grateful that we are getting along so well- it feels like we've been best friends for a hot minute but not like jacque zoe best friends but more intense but I can probably credit that to the fact that we are living together. Lexi didn't get here until the thursday before classes started and it's been a bit more difficult bonding with her. Partly because I think she may be intimidated by the relationship the three of us had developed before she got here and partly because she spends half the time with her boyfriend and usually at night which is when the deep bonding has been happening. But its still been good, we all work well together and I love living with them and I'm sure with time the bond with Lexi will strengthen as well, just need that night where it clicks. I definitely am used to having them around though- some days i'll be in my room in class and walk out to see everyone napping in their rooms and I will feel so lonely lol. I don't think i've ever spent so little alone time especially not enjoying my alone time too.
