the fiesta continues.

the crazy kids of cuesta got all snazzied up for a reunion with our beloved RA Paaaaam!! i can't believe it's been 3 full years since we eagerly embarked on our UCI adventure. to celebrate, we hit up stonefire grill, aka "upscale pat&oscars", for a deliciously inexpensive cuesta family dinner.

(she's still a fave among the cuesta boys)

we all get to hang out together every now and then, but our guest of honor, PAM, added that extra kick to the mix. during our first year, we saw how much effort she put into those random programs that often go unappreciated by first-years. she really did watch over us and gave us advice when we needed it, really displaying how much she cared. yet, her sweet modesty prevents her from seeing what an inspiration she was for us. i know we're all thankful for her dedication to our hall of very grateful trouble-makers. i can't believe im gonna have my very own residents next year... i can only hope my residents are just as cool as this bunch.

im sure to be tight with people you lived in the dorms with is rare. to all be sitting together, discussing our post-college plans was rather strange because post-college life has snuck up on us. i swear we were seriously just running around the dorms, creating a ruckus, making pam's job altogether challenging and exciting. time sure does fly...

i asked pam if she thought it was weird to be with all of us again. she explained how we were still exactly the same as we were first year. (i wasn't sure if i should take that as a compliment or not). she continued to say that she was just really happy that we were all friends still...

im pretty happy about that too. :)
