A lot of my friends left Thursday or Friday, but there are quite a few who still stayed. It feels quite strange to have the house so much quieter, and have less people wandering into our room at random times. It's also a lot less convenient since we have to find food for ourselves for the next 1.5 weeks since we don't get dinner or money to use at the convenience store. Sarai finished up her last final on Thursday, and we went with a couple of our friends to Tea Spots. It's a rather popular place that Caltech students go to for boba or shaved ice since it's only a 10 minute walk away. There are better boba places around, but not within walking distance, and unfortunately we don't have a car :(
Another popular place Techers go to would be Cherry on Top, an awesome frozen yogurt place. It's like Pinkberry except cheaper and better. They always have a large variety of flavors which change every week. A group of us went over on Friday, and they had flavors such as Pineapple tart, cake batter, pecan praline, as well as more original flavors such as tart and vanilla. I always go for the tart flavors, flavors like chocolate and cake batter are more befitting for ice cream...
A bunch of people next to the flavors. You can kinda see Sarai and James at the left edge of the photo trying some out.
They also have a lot of toppings. They have things like chocolate and syrup, which, again, to me, are more for ice cream than froyo, for which fruit toppings are a lot better!
An extensive selection of toppings for froyo fans! There are more but I didn't quite get a picture of them.
Spring break is a great time to make trips to places that you don't quite get to during the term. On Friday, Sarai, Carrie, Albert and I went to Huntington Library and Gardens, a beautiful place! I'll write more about that later. Since we have to fend for ourselves for food this week, Sarai and I walked to Arcadia again for 1.5 hours. More on that later too... :)
Spring Break is awesomely relaxing! (but also a bit boring at times, especially since most people are gone.) James got a new computer and spent quite some time on Thursday building it, and was so excited when it finally worked! He was especially happy because he could play Minecraft and League of Legends on high settings now. And then he was quite devastated when the computer gave him the blue screen of death a day later, and everything started lagging...
While James built his computer, Albert, an awesome photographer, set up his pro camera to take a picture of the building every 10 seconds and then put together the pictures into a video which you can watch here. It's pretty amazing :D He spent quite a bit of time on it, and you can see a lot of people walking in and out of the room to watch him work.
James looking super attractive while building his computer!
(Please don't kill me if you read this, James :P)
Me photobombing :D
You can also see Sarai in the mirror, lol.
Oh, and there's an High Expectation Asian Father picture on the door that says:
"Got into CIT? What about AIT?" Ahahaha...xD
Yup, that's it for now :) I'll post about Huntington and Arcadia soon. I don't know if I'll be out much next week since it's going to be rainy :(
