Weekend Update: Champaign Style

Tonight is basically my first night in the house since Wednesday! Thursday morning, Helen and I began our road trip adventure to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (yes, I just typed the name for formality purposes) to stay at Elena and Alicia's summer apartment while they do research!

Of course, we didn't get lost or stuck by construction once we got off our feet and on the roads, but all the places we got stuck were right by here. Like at Dean's Jimmy Johns location that had 200 people in line outside, or construction everywhere on 294 south. So we ate at Potbelly's and got on the road, where we got to U of I in time to enjoy the sunny day, walk campus and hang out on the quad a bit. For dinner, everyone made these Indian eggs with a recipe from Alia, one of Elena's Presby roommates, which were really good with this warm Asian bread we had!! After dinner, we got ready for a night to go out where the whole mutual friends thing just comes into play and is laugh-worthy. At a house where we met up with some engineering friends, one of the guys just happened to live on Meredith's floor. Then, at the bars (which you only have to be 19 to get into in Chamapaign =O), I came across Lauren Spiegel and two of her best guy friends! We proceeded to catch up and hang out the rest of the weekend! Yay to the Mizzou connection/North shore connection!

Here are some pictures of me, Elena, Helen & Alicia before we went out!
