72 Hours with My CLTC Friend
After CLTC ended, one of the things I was most excited about was planning reunions with my friends. This month, Ori visited me, and I had the best time hanging out with her and planning activities. Here are some of my favorite memories from the trip!
Thursday:
- I left school early to pick up Ori from the airport. Since it was Halloween, I knew the traffic would be really bad, but eventually, I got there, and we had our reunion!
- We went out to dinner at one of my favorite neighborhood Thai restaurants. We walked around the neighborhood and saw some great decorations.
- I then drove us to get Froyo at a popular hangout spot in Pittsburgh!
- We ended the night by watching a horror movie.
Friday:
- I took Ori to my friend Maggie’s house to hang out and do nails for Halloween.
- Then, we went to a really cute lunch spot!
- Later that night, we went out to dinner with my friend Elena and drove around Pittsburgh. I loved being able to show her around my town!
Saturday:
- We headed to the Strip District and got Playa Bowls, which were delicious!
- We then were productive and did some homework.
- Next, we got ready to go to my friends’ house for Halloween. We did matching costumes!
Sunday:
- We woke up late and then went with my brother to get some Indian food.
- Then, I dropped Ori off at the airport!
I had such a fun time reuniting with her, and I can’t wait to see my CLTC friends at IC!
