the one with tickets and shoes and U2 and being raaandom and surprisingly, still not failing at uni
Good Lord I have become that person who makes small talk with other people while waiting in line for ages. And also the person that is asked for directions by elderly ladies in the city. I am clearly not scary looking enough.
This morning I went into the city to buy Jimmy Eat World tickets. So excited about that show! U2 last night were awesoooome. Our seats were fantastic considering they only cost $40AUD. No people standing infront of us, and noone to the side either. It was great. Brother was designated driver, so Aaron and Ricky were rather intoxicated. Yes, dealing with two drunk 22 year old males and your (admittedly prone to stupidity) brother is just as much fun as you think it would be. Soooo many people though, but we managed to flag down a cab pretty much just outside the walkway from Suncorp Stadium, so we got a cab back to the car in Indooroopilly because sod catching a train with fifteen bazillion other people. Shall post the set list for posterity later.
This morning I also picked up my faaabulous suede wedges (yes, I still do not own a pair of non-suede or patent leather shoes) and ended up getting (yet another) pair of shorts on sale also. Apparently I have gone down yet another dress size, so now I'm sitting at an 8 for pants. ARGH none of my clothes fiiiit. Okay that is a lie my dresses still fit, and well, belts are fantastic. But anyway. I am now "wearing these wedges in" which basically means, I'm bored so I'm gallavanting around the office wearing inappropriate shoes. IT IS SO MUCH FUN. Umm yeah.
Had a meeting with el Supervisor this morning also (damn have I been productive or what). Found that my insecurity about "not working enough" (probably understandable considering I've done work for one week out of three, and spent the rest of the time browsing the internetz for clothes/shoes/fashion blogs) is unfounded. He was happy with what I've done, and even didn't have too many issues with my draft (despite the fact that I didn't even read over what I'd written...). It confuses me, because I spend most of my time feeling like I'm underachieving, but in actuality am keeping up to speed and solve my own problems 99% of the time without any input from anyone else. WTF. I think about clothes and shoes more than musicology. Perhaps that's the trick to it...
