- Santa Cruz Boardwalk

- Took the Caltrain to San Francisco

- Met more people
- Had Pad Thai delivered to the dorms
Now, starting today (the Fourth of July), I will be participating in Field Day, which is essentially a battle between the dorms, and going to the Orchestra and Fireworks later tonight. Tomorrow, a bunch of us are going to Half Moon Bay and then shopping. On Sunday, we might go to the movies, which, btw, is overly expensive.
And how about a little fun fact: "candy and condoms" are honestly a thing here. The mentors (undergrads who are basically dorm rcs) figured it'd be a good idea to provide a bowl of candy and condoms for those who feel as if they'd like to get a little frisky. And, my oh my, can I name a few already. No shame in their game, obviously. And the candy - it's just so people won't be embarrassed and shizz, I suppose. Eh.
Anyways, Happy FOURTH OF JULY! Celebrate everyone! Fireworks and barbecues sound (and smells) good to me. Make the most of your day. :)
