And now that my first year in grad school is done...
I can start maybe having fun again? I mean, I wasn't exactly denying myself before but...ever since I finished my last final I have been going CRAZY with my newfound-freedom to engage in any experiences I desire. Katelyn came and it was AWESOME, I took full advantage of her being here to become a hedonistic, ridiculous monstrosity of eating, drinking, and joyously jumping from one vacationy-activity to the next. Pictures to follow!
Of course, once she left I...continued to be a monster. I have been to AMAZING BBQ THREE TIMES this week, rode a real live Longhorn (what a gigantic, beautiful creature!!!), visited the Old Czech/German churches (so lovely), gone on a shopping spree, drank at the trashiest and classiest of places (from a Whiskey Sour to a Fig Manhattan with special fig foam on the top gahhhhh), gone out for gingerbread pancakes at 2 in the morning, gone to a dozen wine bars, seen an amazing production (The Taming of the Shrew, original practices, Hidden Room production FOR FREE), and of course gone two stepping at the gay bars...gay...country dancing bars. What is this world I live in?
If it wasn't already 95 degrees out, I would be perfectly content. Instead, I am happy yet melting....
Or at least content with never being quite content with the amount of entertainment....always reach for the stars, o blossoming youth!
And I am going to an Of Montreal concert tomorrow with my old TA...is this real life?
Of course, I start classes up again in two weeks.
And Jeff and I need to find an apartment for July.
And I owe...so much in bills...I mean I have the money I just hate to spend it in a non-meat related fashion, you know?
Now I just need to lose the BAZILLION POUNDS I gained having fun and all will be well!
ALSO - as you may have noted from the schedule I just alluded to, I literally cannot go home this summer, since I have no summer to speak of - Jeff is coming on Thursday, Katelyn was here last week, and thus poor timing on my part and ridiculous schedules on the part of my school have ruined my Boston possibilities. I am extremely unhappy about this but....what can I do? Bear it til Christmas, I guess.
