The Olympics took over my life. I had planned to do so much over the reading week, but instead was glued to the TV. It didn’t help that my internet hasn’t been working for the past month (today is the first day it’s worked for more that 10 minutes, yay for viruses). There were nights where I would finish watching the final events of the day, and would then watch hours of re-caps that I had already seen. It was so addictive, and when the closing ceremonies came to an end, I had to go back and face reality. I did not know what to do with myself. But I’m finally returning to normal, with an added love and pride for my country.
Mark March 15th on your calendar because it’s my 21st birthday! The celebration starts on the 12th because of St. Patty’s day at the Wall (and I apologize in advance if you see me). But honestly, the last time I celebrated my birthday was when I was 18 so I’m going to make the most of it this year. I plan on making a cake worthy of Ultimate Cake Off, although I’m prepared for it to end in disaster, as long as it’s edible (but there will be pictures). My parents have taken pity on me and are coming up to buy groceries because I have very little money (food vs. Xbox game always ends with the game winning). On a side note, if anyone has Bioshock 2 and wouldn’t mind lending it for a week or two, send me a note. I can’t even set foot in Wal-Mart anymore because I always end up in the electronics section trying to convince myself that I can manage a couple weeks without food. Oh, and if you are playing Borderlands, I feel the need to warn you that the ending is the biggest disappointment. So weak.
This March is an overall perfect way to end the school year because let’s face it, April is going to be filled with stress, studying, and packing. I highly doubt I will have a social life. The residents’ formal was on Saturday and it was awesome seeing everyone dressed up. I had a laugh at looking all fancy while ordering a Budweiser rather than something more fitting like a cosmo, but hey I’m a valley girl. There’s the SOS Backstage performance from the 19th to the 21st. (My roommate Becky is in it so I feel obligated to mention it). And I’m going to my second concert ever! (Billy Talent). FYI, my first was Garth Brooks, and he was recording that performance for his live album, so yeah I was there and therefor rock hardcore.......... not really.... at all.
Well it’s after 3am due to too many attempts at uploading this (I hate my internet so much), so I’m going to abruptly wrap this up.
