It's official. The new Alexisonfire album is awesome. S'all I need to say about that. They're on Warped Tour this year, but I don't think I'd ever go to that.
A-Mei Chang's new album is really, really good. I like her so much better as a rock artist, rather than pop. There's something about her voice I'm not too big on, but it's not like it's bad or anything. I was very surprised with this album, gladly.
Looks like we're going to New York in a few weeks. My sister's been dying to go. She wants to see Central Park and various John Lennon sites and leave some flowers on his memorial site. I'm looking forward to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and maybe Kinokuniya.
So yeah, I have this shit-tastic semester schedule:
Mon, Wed: 4-5:20
Tues: 11:30-12:50, 1-2:20, 2:30-3:50, 7-9:50
Thurs: 11:30-12:50, 1-2:20, 2:30-3:50
Starting September I can't work at the second library and lord knows what I'll be able to work at my library, as my school hours are right during the page shifts D:
I've been kinda talking to my parents about going away to school. They're not against it, but aren't really talking about it with me and it's bugging me. There's a lot we have to find out to help me make my decision and see if it's even a good idea to go, or if I'd be able to go. Sometimes, I think I really want to go, and others I feel like I'd miss too much here, or be unhappy there. I'd miss rocking out to classic rock with my sister and China has that stupid firewall and scary government. But, I almost think I need to go. Hohhot looks so lovely and the university has great programs.
