Adventures

Hi fam,

I just thought I would post about some of my adventures.  On Saturday my roommate Kelci and I did some adventuring into the small downtown of Montclair.  We went to a bakery at the suggestion of one of the horn players (who btw, is literally always high so always has the munchies, and so knows where the best places to eat are.  That east coast life, amirite?)  So Kelci and I drove to this bakery to eat breakfast and it was amazing! They surprisingly didn't have bagels (which is basically all anyone in NJ eats) But they had donuts and bread and really good sandwiches. I got a donut with maple frosting and bacon on it (I know mom, the irony...) and a bacon, cheddar, egg sandwich on a croissant.  Kelci got a bacon, cheddar, egg sandwich on a ciabatta and a cream cheese filled everything croissant.  Here are some pictures:

It was the cutest little bakery

Look at those cute succulents

The amazing donut

And the sandwich! so good!

After we ate, we walked around and found a local farmer's market.  It was a really good one for how small it was. There were pumpkins and squash and apples and potatoes and bread and pesto and cheese and pickles and olives and meat and it was super fun.  And brussels sprouts! the brussels sprouts were on crazy huge stalks.  It was crazy, I never realized how they grew I guess.

It was super fun.  We had a good time.  Then we went home and did homework all day! huzzah! Oh, I promised you guys a picture of Mike and I.  It's not the best picture, but it was the best I could do.

He's pretty great.  He's taking me to the Met next week.  We are going to Manon Lescaut.  Anna Netrebko is the lead.  I'm sooooooooooooooooo excited! It's going to be amazing.  You can tell he likes me a lot, because he doesn't really know anything about classical music and has literally no experience with it or opera or anything of that variety, but he is taking me.  It's amazing.

Well, I think that's all for now.  I have a lot of homework I have to do.  Mike said we could only go out tonight if I catch up on all my work, so that has to happen obviously.  *when your boyfriend bribes you with dates so you get your work done* what I become... ha.

Love you all!
