2 down, and many more to go

I haven't posted in a few months, but this was definitely post-worthy. An epic 24 hours, one of the best so far of the summer. And it all started out with George, Jacob and I creating our "college bucket list" over some midnight In N' Out run some day a few weeks ago. And finally, we took some initiative and made it happen! Here's how it went:
 June 10 @ 5:38pm Kat and Jacob's "Halo-halo mixer" was actually quite a success. Those of whom were going to the baseball game later from Berkeley decided to have a pre-game halo halo tailgating party and the food was a success thanks to Jacob's ice shaver and Jacob and Kat's talented skills in picking out yummies to put in our "drinks." The ingredients included shaved ice, ube ice cream (taro), jack fruit, condensed milk, jelly, red beans, and of course, sugarrr. It was delicious, but we didn't let ourselves get too full off of it because of course, the $1 dollar hot dogs were hours away. We finished with some left overs to enjoy for later (taro ice cream anyone?). We hopped into Kat's car and sat in traffic for a little while.
 @ 7:07pm We get to the McAfee Stadium (meet up with Ivy and Ray in the process) in Oakland to watch the Oakland Athletics vs. Minnesota Twins game. The A's had been leading the series and we were planning on finally going to a dollar wednesday game for such a long time, so it was perfect! It wasn't too packed, and we thought that our seats were going to suck, but they turned out to be perfect.
 @ 10:05om Alright, so the A's didn't win, but we had fun eating our cheap hot dogs and being around good company anyways. We bid fairwell to Emily, Ray and Ivy and decide what to do next. Btw, that was the last time we saw my dear Ivy before she got on her plane to Vietnam. <3
 @ 11:25pm We get back to my apartment and munch on our food. Soon enough, we realize there was a Wii with Mario Party readily available. We played an intense 10-turn game and Kat reigned victorious.
June 11 @ 1:07am What else could you do but karaoke after that? We sang some good classics with Anh and did so for a while, until the microphone started dying on us. We weren't ready to quit, so we busted out the KaraokeParty.com and sang for another hour.
@ 2:17am We start getting really tired, and even pull out the futon for a slumber party, but then one of us gets the crazy idea to start playing Apples to Apples. And so when one person was down, so were the rest of us. I reigned victorious in this contest. HEEEHEHE.
@ 4:10am So we put the AtA away, and by this point, Anh goes to sleep (she has work the next morning!) and George is lying on the floor on a pillow. Me, being way past my buffer time of sleepiness, thinks of the crazy idea to fulfill another aspiration of ours: going to the SF Golden Gate Bridge to watch the sunrise. The rest thought, hey, why not? We're already awake.
 @ 4:50am And so our journey continued. We layered up and headed to the car where amazingly, none of us fell asleep on the ride there. With some nice directions from Google Maps, we were there by the time the sky started to turn orange. We were really worried, but also really freakign tired, so no aggressive driving for anyone. But when we got there, it was more than worth it.

 One of the best days by far. We got home at 7am and George and Kat fell asleep at George and Jacob's place, while Jacob and I went over to their old apartment to clean up a bit before they officially moved out. After that I napped for 2 hours (making me essentially not pull an actual all nighter), and started to work for my internship. I fell asleep with my laptop on my lap a couple of hours in, but thankfully woke up before I had to go downtown to the YMCA to get fingerprinted for the BUILD tutoring job.
2 things checked off on our college bucket list : go to an A's game and watch the sunrise at the GG Bridge.
