Zagreb

Last Friday I got a plane with Nikola and spent the weekend in Zagreb with his sister, Ana-Marija, and her roommate, Sandra. We partied excessively on Friday night, lazed around a lot on Saturday before taking a stroll around the city to see several prominent landmarks. Saturday evening we hung about and watched a movie, and Sunday was very similar, topped off with a bus ride home. I really enjoyed Ana-Marija, who has a penchant for vampire literature.

Monday saw the end of PLC (incomplete most likely) and Tuesday, environmental science (A) and XML (C). Better than I was expecting, which is dismal, since those are not particularly stellar grades. Considering how roughly halfway through the quarter I realized how badly I had been balancing my life and didn't consider my grades at all salvageable...

Today I achieved two major accomplishments - I cleaned the bathtub and sink in my apartment and bought my mother a pair of earings.

I'm spending the evening with Nikola watching movies and in the morning helping him bring his stuff to the bus station. My plans for tomorrow include coffee with Brad, cleaning my apartment with my roommates and tracking down Ivona and Feda for hugs. Saturday morning I'll head out early to the airport. Dubrovnik -> Zagreb -> Heathrow -> JFK -> Dad! I'll get to visit with an old friend in New York, and then drive to Rochester the next day.

And then I'll spend the summer on co-op, with intermittent bouts of swing dancing and other exciting summer-in-Rochester activities.
