bloomington or bust!
This weekend was one of the most amazing weekends of my life.
I feel like a whole new person in a lot of ways because of it.
Long story short, on Saturday me, my cousin and his girlfriend headed to Bloomington, Indiana to see the Dalai Lama speak. It was so incredibly inspiring to hear him speak in person. It's amazing what kind of effect it can have on you.
I'll try to summarize it fairly quickly as I'm gonna have to chow down dinner in a few, but basically it all began with a three hour car ride to Bloomington starting at the ungodly hour of 7 a.m. and cussing out Indiana for having shitty interstate signs that aren't labeled well. Bloomington is such an awesome town, so many stores and restaurants, and the IU campus is cool too. So we had lunch, shopped a bit then went to listen to His Holiness speak for two hours. Then we had dinner at Longhorn and drove back, thankfully making it in only 2 1/2 hours. I dozed off on the way back, then we chilled at their apartment for almost two hours. Then I went out to meet Lisa at Shrom's house so we could surprise her for her 20th. Ended up getting home around 3 a.m. or so and crashed.
I just feel renewed and committed to bettering myself and anything in society that I can. Just......wow.
I'll have more to write after Halloween (getting my hair cut and dyed that day!! Gonna be a big change) aaaaand then Saturday is our Halloween Party. I finally decided I'm going as Kat Von D. I get to put rub on tattoos all over my arms XD
