so so SOOOOO happy

so i was studying in my room at like... 11:30p last night, when i had a knock at my door. it was another RA, robin. she said "uhh... rachel? someone left you something in the office... i think you should come get it..." (with a unsure, kinda worried face). of course, first i thought of was mom. mom would be the only one to drop anything off for me... but why wouldn't she have called? so it can't be mom. but who else?

i kept asking questions as i followed her, but she answered less and less, shrugging her shoulders. this for some reason just made me more nervous. i had an anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach... who would randomly leave something for me? what would anyone leave without telling me? why? .....creeeeeepyyyyyy!!! we got to the office and she pulled out this...

WHOA!!! first of all... what in the world?? secondly, weird. thirdly, who would draw me a picture... of ME?? mauri would... but he's supposed to be going to caliente, that's why he can't skype me. i look at the other girls, and they're looking at my like i'm supposed to know what's going on here. suddenly, i hear "yeah... really... don't know who would draw you a picture?"

i couldn't believe it... he couldn't really be here. but he was! he was here! so i hugged him... for a really really REALLY long time. :)

he's here for the weekend. it was such a good surprise. :)
