(no subject)
I just got home from seeing these dudes (WHY?):
Let me just say that the crowd was a bit underwhelming! They were all quiet and polite most of the time. The room was really small with great acoustics so basically you could hear everything anyone said. The band could have played with out mics. Anyways. They played great. It was nice to forget where I was for a bit and also nice to get a taste of home so far away. I think I am homesick. I have it so good in Portland, it isn't even funny. This has just made me more excited about my life when I get back. Of course I will still try to enjoy my time here but I am still having some trouble adjusting and not having any good friends and feeling like a tiny American island amongst a huge infinite sea of Belgians.
Anyways. There is this line in one of their songs that I always understood but never really understood or really felt until I heard it tonight. I think it will be my new mantra:
"WHILE I'M ALIVE I'LL FEEL ALIVE AND WHAT COMES NEXT I GUESS I'LL KNOW WHEN I'VE GOTTEN THERE..."
word word.
Tomorrow I have a curatorial session with the rest of the 3BA students, and it is going to be kind of excruciating... I will again feel like a tiny American island. Everyone is going to be speaking dutch I will have no idea what is going on but I have to go because when I declined last time I offended most of the professors in the photo department! SO HOORAY. I am just going to suck it up and waste some time. I kind of want to cry. I think I am possibly over reacting, but it just makes me so damn anxious thinking about it.
