So today, being a Friday, was full of antsy last-minute plan-making and a very restless campus. After classes my friend Liz brought over her hamster, Harry, for me to babysit over the weekend while she's out of town. He's the cutest little furball you've ever seen; expect pictures posted up here this weekend. I'm going to have to have a full-on hamster photoshoot with him. The weird part is that he's nocturnal, so he's been sleeping the whole time he's been here, but I'm sure he'll be keeping me up tonight. Should be fun. 

Anyway, Liz and I went out to tea and then got our nails done this evening at this random little place in downtown Chico called Chico Nails. It's run by a bunch of Asians (shocker) but they're the funniest group of people we'd ever met. The woman who runs the salon is named Vickie, and she works there with her two younger brothers. They're the most talkative nail technicians I've experienced to date, so I now basically know Vickie's life story, including that her 37th birthday is this December and that she has a 12-year-old daughter. Also, she gave Liz and I a huge discount on our manicures for no apparent reason, which we couldn't argue with. We did tip generously though, don't worry. 

Tonight I'm going out with my friends Alexis and Kristen, I'm not sure where to yet but downtown Chico on a Friday is always hoppin'. A couple of weekends ago there was a huge riot in downtown... couches were burned, cars were vandalized, cops were ignored, clothing was discarded... you know, the usual. I wonder if we'll encounter any more of that tonight? If we do, you'll be the first to know.

Last night's episode of The Office was amazing, as always.
