Lint is a shell's best friend

a short update.

thursday: really sucked because both people (kat and w) that i had plans with bailed on me. i know i'm being selfish but i really hate it when i get really excited and look forward to something and then it doesn't happen. though i did skype with aaron.

friday: mom and judy came into town!! mom had the day off, and luckily enough it was both homecoming weekend and our band concert. so they came down in the afternoon, we spent some time on campus, and then they came to the concert. the concert itself went pretty well overall, i thought. there were a few scary moments where we teetered on the cliff of total chaos, but reigned it back in. had a late dinner with mom and judy and went straight to bed lolz.

saturday: i met with w at 10:30 since our plans didn't work out on thursday. we went to panera and had coffee and split a pecan roll, and talked about banal life things like my work for dr. k and the honors class i'm taking. then we went back to school and worked on scheduling stuff for a while because i'm trying my damndest to graduate on time. i think there are only a few classes i have left to take: science/math (there's a class i think i can get into that counts for both), foreign language (this is going to be the death of me) and another art credit because this school has the dumbest requirement of making you take classes from eight different departments. so even though i have a shit-ton of music art credits, only one of them will count. so w and i tried to figure out some options (summer classes: FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS PER CREDIT). w has hope and that means a lot, but it still sometimes looks bleak because i feel like there's still so much to do and not any time to do it.
anyway, saturday night i hosted a birthday party for karen at my house. it was themed after mario (the video game). i was a banana. get it? like a banana in the road in mario kart? things were great, if a little crazy. rachel locked my bedroom door and my keys were inside my bedroom... so i had to break into my own room by taking out the screen and climbing through the window...
that party was basically the biggest event in recent history... today was classes as usual, though they went by pretty fast (for which i am thankful). i have a few tests this week, but after that i'm going home for a wonderful fall break! i hope to meet up with a few. and definitely reconnect with the e gang because i am terrible at keeping in touch.
so what was intended to be a short update didn't really end up short at all... anyway, that's the life.

oh p.s. go look up "marcell the shell with shoes on" right now. go. i am obsessed with it. most adorable thing. EVER.
