After a long two semesters working hard together, my friends and I thought it was about time for a girls night. So we took the train to SLC, rolling past the suburbs as we laughed and chatted about things *mostly* not school-related. It's wild to reflect on a year ago, when I couldn't understand why my patriarchal blessing would talk about making friends. It was always so hard for me. And yet, in the space of a couple months I made friends who I hope I can remain close to even after graduation next year. Excited as we are for the future, we already dread getting split up!
We shopped around, and then we treated ourselves to Cheesecake Factory. The waiter kept hitting on our married friend Emily. They told him it was my birthday, and so of course when I tried to deny it, he thought I was just being shy and invited all the waiters over to sing happy birthday. "Sing to the blushing girl!" he said. After dinner, we walked around temple grounds. It wasn't till the next day that we realized that Emily had been pickpocketed -- all the credit and debit cards had been stolen, but all the card and IDs had been left! We have absolutely no idea how it happened with the four of us together the entire night!
Although one of our friends is moving to England for the summer and another to Brazil, and still hope to squeeze in time together before they go!
