Friiidayyyyy!

For some reason, I was totally engaged with my econ class this afternoon. Don't ask me why, I just was in a MODE, and totally understood everything. It felt pretty awesome. haha.

In the afternoon, went to the mall with friends. Got some pants, yaaa!

Hahah, dinner was over at ISR for mexican night. Then everyone basically just chilled and did the usual friday night activities. We headed to the hot tub later, and did some swimming and lounging, was def a fun time. After everyone got cleaned up, we all headed out and stopped by Evan and Bills, 'cept Evan was gone. Bill and his friends were just watching some movies. I want to attend a quiet movie night sometime, def.

After visiting we headed to an apartment up past Green and Springfield. We BROUGHT THE PARTY! No one was dancing or anything before we got there, but by the time we left...the party was going for sure.

Stopped back at Bills on the way back, then went to this fucking Rave across from LAR, gina invited us. Only there for a bit. Then just chilled at Allen, put a movie on and left my door open. Thank god for friendly allen :]

Class this morning, followed by a lunch with chicken quesedillas (sp?!) and friends.

Hung out, then later went to visit Evan and Bill, but only found Bill watching a movie. We watched it with him, good movie actually. I liked it. We decided to go eat in Allen with Tommy, but on the way there we crossed paths with Evan and he wanted some food too. He wanted to go out tho, so he went to Champaign with Steph, me and tommy ate in allen and stole foods/utencils. haha

The rest of the night was spent hanging out, downloaded the leaked killer's album, reading, and talking.

I just realized I didn't call my parents tonight, nor they call me. Hm.

September 27

Today was a good day, scratch that, an awesome day. I dunno what makes each day different or better than the next, but this one just worked for me. The sun was out and warm this morning while I walked back to Allen after early classes, lunch was good with friend over at field of greens. I got alot of my reading done, still lots more to go tho.

Went downtown thrifting with friends, got the most kickass sunglasses. I'll show ya soon.

Dinner in Allen with tasty chicken and pie. After dinner got even more reading done, then hung out and watched PR w/ cookies and snacks. Then just chilled all night, roaming around Allen.

I think everyone's already ready for the weekend, I know I am.

September 26

Econ this morning, then just chilled in the room. Watched a bit of tv and got some homework/reading done.

Doctor.

Physics @ 2, then did the homework. Had an awesome dinner, chicken-pot pie. YUM.

Wrote 1/2 my history and read alot of history, headed to Late Nite, finished the second half of my paper.

September 25

Woke up early this morning and headed to Champaign. Got here just in time for classes at 9 and 10. Then I took a long nap, I needed it. After lunch I tried to do some homework but couldn't, so I took a long shower and got ready for 4 hours of photog. The teacher basically told us just to go out and shoot for the whole class, so I did that.....and took many breaks. haha

Around dinner time I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't go. I had some fruit-loops and watched TV.

Later me and Steph met Evan for coffee at this little cafe on the corner. It was nice, I should go there and study sometime.

I'm heading to bed early tonigt - reading in bed.

September 24

Woke up and had breakfast with my grandparents, it was nice to see them. And some homemade pancakes are always tasty :]

Then this nurse lady came to take my blood and stuff. I guess it was for some insurance thing my Dad set up for me.

Left after noon and headed to St. Louis. Met up with Cindy at Vintage Vinyl. We chilled on the Loop and got food.

Sufjann!!

Oh, it was so cool to see everyone and chill at the pageant. We hit up all the vintage shops and waited in line like old time shows in St. Louis. Everyone there was cool and nice, I mean, only so many people know about Sufjan. My Brightest Diamond opened. Her set was awesomely cool. I loved her sound, I need to check out some of her songs. Then Sufjan came out along with his orchestra and everyone freaked out. The highlight of the night was when he played 'Chicago' and then encore.

After the show there was a hot dog vendor outisde the pageant, yummy. Food is always tasty after a show. We decided not to wait for Sufjan, and just headed home. Said goodbye and I started my long, quiet treck home. The drive home was actually very nice. Passed the city at night, barely no one was on the road and all the lights pulsed so brightly. I set the cruise to 75 and talked to Clayton all the way home. Haha, it was well needed.

September 23

Woke up this morning to Dan! Dan came to visit us (me and Kelsey). Then, Ryan showed up and we all went to lunch together w/ Stephanie too. Awesome times.

After lunch, Me Dan and Kelsey drove back to Springfield. The drive isn't too long, and it goes quickly with friends and music.

Taking road trips with your family seems so much longer than driving long distances with your friends.

When I got home I gave my family hugs and we just talked for a while. My Mom made me a PBJ..and it was soo good. haha. Later we went out to dinner to celebrate my Mom's bday with the neighbors. Went to this Thai restaurant..it was pretty good, cool atmosphere.

My neighbor gave me the most kickass old tv everr. She just like randomly gave it to me. She said she was at a garage sale and it was only a couple bucks, and I guess she thought I could use it. haha.

Well it's before midnight, but I think I'm off to bed. I to catch up on sleep and get some rest for tomorrow - lots of driving and sufjan. g'night

September 22

Fridays are the best everrrr.

Just a few classes in the morning, then I did some photo stuff in the afternoon. I got all my photo prints done, all ready to hand in monday.

Kelsey came on the train! Train stations are crazy. I've like never been to one before haha. I didn't know so many people actually road the train. Anyway, met her as she got off the train. Took her back to Allen. Got her settled in, she met all my friends, then we showed her around the campus as we waited for Evan and Bill to get out of a show.

We hung out on the quad, then went to late nite over at ISR. After we got some treats, then followed Katherine to a party up north of green street. It was alright, but we were only there for a bit. Once we got a call from Bill, we headed to his house.

DANCE PARTY NIGHT. Oh it was awesome.

No one knows how to throw a dance party like we do.

September 21

Woke up early this morning for history, then spent my morning doing laundry and watching the coolest movie everr. PERSRIPTION MURDER! It's from like the 60's. Damn it was so awesome. It's about this dude that kills his wife, and covers it up so perfectly. And there's this detective, that just Knows something isn't right..is too perfect. And he keep investigating the husband. And the whole time you're just wanting him to stop so husband can WIN and run off.



But....well, you'll have to see the movie now won't cha!

Hhaha, well lunch this afternoon in Field of Greens after the little retro movie/laundry explosion of the morning.

Found out my Physics grade. I'll take it. Got an A in the class! Then walked to physics lecture @ 2 with Kristin. Wasn't very eventful.

Until dinner I found some sweet songs, did a bit of reading/hw/taking notes and hung out.

After dinner went with Evan and Aly over to the Union to see some bands. It was fun. Good times. Hahah

TOMORROW. Will be awesome.
I guarantee it.

September 20

Econ pop quiz this morning. What exaclty is the point of a pop quiz? Wouldn't you want your students to get the best possible grades in your course? Ah, it boggles my mind.

My neighbors came to visit! They were in Champaign for lunch with some clients, after that they stopped by Allen and check out my dorm room. After that we did some thrifting! It was funnnn. Ran into evan downtown, I learned later he wanted to take a photo of my neighbor? haha.

Me and steph went for a walk after that. Walked through old urbana, got some awesome shots.

After dinner, I took a walk and talked to kelsey on the phone. Then did some physics homework, then just hung out.

Feels good not to be rushed to have to finish a paper or study for an exam.
