Time for Casual Conversation....and for Raqeeb to be late

Last night we had our cohort meet up at Jupiter in Downtown Berkeley. I had never been to Jupiter and didn't really know what to expect. My mom told that they have good pizza, and that it's a very college student thing to be at Jupiter late, which is all I really needed to know. Our meet up was scheduled for 8, and of course before I even got inside, we got news that Raqeeb was going to be late. For the most part, we've agreed that the person who shows up last is usually Raqeeb -Jahnvi even has a theory that it's because of his hair, and that she could get ready faster. It's likely we'll be putting that to the test while in Chicago.

Our waitress was a little nervous and didn't really know how to help us when we asked for recommendations, but it worked out, and we ordered two delicious vegetarian pizzas. Cecilia and I will probably end up as vegetarians by the end of this, because Raqeeb, Jahnvi, and Ms. Sciacca are ALL vegetarians. 

Dinner chatter

We relayed some must dos while in Chicago to Ms. Sciacca, and told her what we were excited about. We talked about finals that were coming up or already happened, and about college apps and personal insight questions. Both Jahnvi and I took SAT Subject tests in the morning so we talked about how we felt we did, and how we wanted to do on them. Ms. Sciacca told us she had a fraternal twin, which is really cool, and told us about her students. The conversation was light and fun; I had a great time.

When we were done with most of our delicious meal, we realized that we hadn't taken any pictures, thankfully, Raqeeb always has his camera, so we wouldn't have to worry about having only grainy cell phone pictures. After a few quick pics over our dinner conversation, we finished our meal and started alerting parents that soon enough we'd be ready to head home. Jahnvi wanted pictures near the pretty string lights that they had up at Jupiter and the rest of us agreed, so we ended up seeing what was going on in the patio area. We took some photos on the steps in front of the patio level, and then went to see what the fuss was about. It turned out to be some live music, and there was even a little boy all dancing around in front of the band, which was completely adorable.

We parted ways out front, but had some good Chicago squad bonding time.
