Weekend Update
Why can't I just accept something as wonderful and perfect? Why am I always on the lookout for problems or issues? Quit questioning or doubting wonderful happiness Amy! Just be happy!
I really enjoyed my weekend with Casey, even though I didn't get to spend a ton of time with him. Friday afternoon I went to Shepley's with Sammi, Josh, and Laura, and we all got hot cocoa at Brewcasso afterwards. That was nice, and I was sufficiently warm because my layering was out of control. Friday night I went to dinner with Bryce and Julia, and then the hypnotist and did NOT get hypnotized, which was really disappointing. He pulled a bunch of people up and dismissed those it clearly wasn't working on, but never pulled me down. He left me there the whole time, when it was probably pretty obvious that I wasn't hypnotized! I was really disappointed to learn it's a crock. I wasn't like fighting it or assuming it wasn't going to work, either! I was totally open to it, and excited about it. He even said that while you're hypnotized you'll feel completely normal. well, I did, and thought "maybe i just Feel normal... When he said we'd see an exotic dream pet, I was totally disappointed when I didn't see a cheetah next to me. Maybe I don't have a good enough imagination. Or maybe all it does is relax people who would already be absurd in public - like his prime candidates Alex and Gabe. Poo.
Anyway, after the hypnotist, Casey was here! Yaaay! it was a relaxing evening of LOSTing with a picnic of delicious food from the ratt (that made the room smell like mozzerella sticks). Turns out I have a lot of money on my ratt card. The buzzer always freaks me out. We also had a fantastic conversation that kept us up really late, like 3am, but whatever, college kids don't need sleep.
Saturday we woke up and dashed to lunch where we met up with Dan. Me, Casey, Dan, BC, Jason, and Neb (we tried to find Page too but were unable to locate her) came over to my room and we all settled in for some LOTR: TTT. It was LOOONG. But we enjoyed ourselves. Casey is such a moment ruiner! Dan shushed us all for talking, and we all made fun of me and dan for our general dorky knowledge, and good times were had by all. MMM dark chocolate was also had by all. After the movie I packed and Casey and I ventured to Iowa City, where we had some garlic chicken and hung out with some Jen and Jessica in the kitchen a bit before Casey had to go to rehearsal from 7 to 10. Boo. I had intended on doing homework but was so exhausted from the night before and accidentially just FELL DEAD ASLEEP for a little while. I didn't get as much done as I intended, but when I did start doing my reading, I got totally into it.
I LOVE Historiography, like going beyond knowing what happened in history, but figuring out why it happened, what caused these events, what the implications of these reasons were.... It totally fascinates me. Casey and I got into a long discussion about it. This new aspect of history, debating different theories about which aspects of a time period working together brought about a certain event etc, is really interesting to me. I love thinking about how every aspect of a past society is all tied together - it's all connected, everything influences everything else and is brought about by everything else... It makes me really think about how heroes, geniuses, etc, are products of their culture, and wouldn't have been able to do any of the things they did if the timing and social situation wasn't ready at exactly the right time for it. I don't know that I'm making any sense, but the point was, I was really jazzed about how amazing history is. What a riddle.
Anyway it was another VERY late night involving scalloped potatoes, showering, and more LOST. I hate Michael so much and I was very upset because we watched the episode regarding him, Ana Lucia, and Libby. *SAD. I was kind of upset when we went to bed, again at like 3am. This resulted in some fantastic sleeping in this morning - aaaah laziness. Wonderful snoozage. But because we slept in it was pretty sad that then we didn't have any time to hang out in the morning, we just had to get ready for the day, eat cherrios, and get back to Mount Vernon (He has rehearsal at 2). Oh well. It was great to hang out with him. We're getting spoiled because we've seen each other a lot this last week, and spending the whole week apart will suck. No, summer will suck. But I won't think about that...
I should do my homework....
