music: regina spektor - us


cheers to coming to you live from the ADPi house down at UIUC. that's right, kids, i'm staying in a sorority house! never thought that one would come to fruition, did you? and quite frankly, it's not that bad - i mean, it's not as good as my santa clara on the lake, but i could get used to it if i had to. mostly i'm just SO excited to be with molly this weekend, seeing as how we haven't been together since last new year's. boo urns. anyway, we hit a couple of bars last night. they're a little different here: you only have to be 19 to get in, so having been born in 1985 is finally working to my advantage; the first bar we went to was basically a big ass garage that was converted into a bar - it was okay - awesome drinks, good music, but no one was dancing; the second bar we went to was actually a pub, so no one was shaking anything there etiher. coming from my chicago hamilton's and aix-en-provence background, i must say that it was a little bizarre to go out and not dance at all. but i have been promised that tonight we will go to the mysterious "joe's" where we will commence to getting straight rowdy on the dance floor. in the words of sasha "it will be crazy, taria. i won't be surprised if you and i make out."

should be a good story for posterity.

in other news, first week of classes - check. i like them all. i don't forsee a lot of skipping, actually. plus i'm only doing 13 hours - 14 if you count my extra practicum - so my load is obscenely easy. but i'm taking some heavy duty classes in terms of intellectual capacity required for success. i think it should balance fine with work (i got the job as a reader - hired on the spot and put right to work), directing, SMing the PRS, STARS, Gannons, and ABI . . . if only i can make it through next weekend.

in other other news, there is no reason why i should be up this early.
so i'm going back to bed.
