Mid-weekend update!
Yesterday was, overall, a good day. Got to the gym, met some friends for lunch, hung out with some of the color guard girls at the band building while we counted/organized the flags that needed to be inventoried and sent out to be cleaned. Then I went to the HUB to see some local bands (The Exclusive Document and British Phil) and We Are Scientists (who were fantastic!) perform! However, the highlight of my night was supposed to be hanging out with inflationary (aka Amanda, whom I reference at least once in almost every update on here!), but she got stuck in her dorm doing RA stuff (Resident Assistants are in charge of floors of dorms, so when there's a problem she has to be around!) So after a few songs by We Are Scientists I headed up to her room to spend some time with her. We ordered pizza, and talked, and it was pretty great. One of the things I miss most about being her roommate is just the amount of time we'd spend sitting around the room talking. Whenever something was on my mind she was always right there to talk about it with. So now it's sort of become necessary for me to have time once a week to just hang out and talk about everything that's on my mind, or else I'm going to go crazy. :-) She's really the best friend anyone could ask for. It was nice to talk a little about my week and life in general. I'm going to be lost without her around next year!
Today Amanda and I got brunch, then decided to play some basketball in the gyms near her dorm. It was tons of fun. I'm terrible at basketball. We were pretty ridiculous at times, but made some pretty spectacular (though purely lucky) shots, too! Then on the way out we decided to attempt racquetball, not caring that neither of us have ever played racquetball. That was fun. Hopefully we're going to make this a weekly thing. After that we made a Target run because we needed essential things like soap and food, and then pit stopped at Dairy Queen on the way home. My night was topped off by video chatting with my family. I miss them tons, and February 19th could not get here fast enough for me to go home!
Tomorrow I have another basketball game to do pep band at, then not a whole lot else. Probably watching the Jets game on TV, hoping they get to go to the Superbowl this year since they're my mom and dad's favorite team. Then probably more homework, but who knows?
So yeah. A probably pointless update, but if I don't get in the habit of regularly writing in here I'm just going to forget about it and let it die like I have all of my other journals, and I don't want that to happen. :-)
