Super fun weekend, free beer – and Derek Stepan!
Today it’s 10-10-10. Cool.
After a hard enough school week I have had a great weekend. Party Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Friday I went with the school’s Business club on a field trip to Jordano’s in Goleta. They are a big food and beer distributor/importer. They have the rights in three counties for some of the biggest brands, like Heineken, Budweiser, Tecate, Stella and much more. I came along as a photographer. It was interesting and the CEO was very good and a nice person with a lot of stories to tell. He wife was btw born in Halmstad, but moved to the US when she was a child. She was also there and talked.

After the tour we all got a pack of energy drinks, but also a case of beer each. So cool. It was four different beers in each. One lager, one octoberfest-style beer, one dark one and one honey beer. Pretty good all of them. Nima is the president of the business club, and he got two cases. But he doesn’t like beer, so he gave it to me and Ola, so me and Ola ended up with two cases each =)
That makes this much beer
In the evening we went to a birthday party at Alleagra. Cecilia has her birthday Monday but celebrated then. There were a lot of Swedes I haven’t seen in such a long time, which was nice. For some reason there was a big bag of Styrofoam in the garage/party room where we were. Eventually it was no longer in the bag, but out on the floor everywhere. We had snowball fights and played winter. A lot of fun for everybody, except those who had to clean it up the day after.
Last night I went to IV. Went to Paige’s place along with Cecily and her longtime friend from back home, Emily who was down here visiting. We had so much fun all night long. We mostly stayed at Paige’s, but as you do when you’re in IV, we walked around DP and visited some other parties and dance gardens. One of the funniest and best evenings in a very long time.
Today, though, it’s will be mostly studying. I have a midterm in masscommunication Wednesday so today me and Anna will sit at Starbucks studying.
Yesterday it was the season premier for the New York Rangers. Sat at home and watched it at home, and wow they were god. Really played like a team, and the passings were excellent. But the very best thing was Derek Stepan. I mentioned him in a blog entry a couple of weeks ago. He is a rookie, and did his first game ever in the NHL yesterday. And the way he did it! Hat trick and MVP player of the game. It was so cool to see. The future is looking good for the Blueshirts =)
Hat trick in his first game!
This is the 85th season for the Rangers. Here is the anniversary logo
So I can say that I’ve had a wonderful weekend. I really love my life right now.
