:: Music: D. Cab "The sound of settling"

I smell like smoke, but I don't care. It's raining outside. This is the perfect time of year. I saw Death Cab for Cutie with my roomate, Matt, and Kendall (brow bud) and Elise from the 5th floor. It was a pretty awesome show. The Riviera is this really sweet old theater, and even though we were right up front, the show would've been good from anywhere. I think the show would've been a little better if I was more familiar with death cab, but it was good as it was. I was rocking out nonetheless. The opening band, Trevor Morisson, was frickin' great! There was this one chic in the band who was playing keyboard and dancing. She was the best. The great thing about the band is that they were all a little bit nerdy and together that made them cool. They also did a terrific cover of that one song "I wanna li-li-li-lick you from your hhhead to your toes..." Haha, that was hilarious. We got back around 10:30. I went to the library to do some major reading, but unsuprisingly, I can't concentrate. I think I'll go to bed sooon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENESHA!

Oh, wow. So today I completed my training as a student ambassador. I was told that you give a tour guide a tour. Yes, well I also gave a REAL tour, with real prospective students. All-in-all, there were eleven people in my entourage (a few students, a few parents). Tom, a sophomore from none other than Michigan was the "real" tour guide. He said I did a good job, even though I was a little sketchy with details and forgot a few things (like Fordham Hall and the new sophomore dorms). But now I'm a real tour guide, so it's all good. I don't know why, but all day I've been suffering from exhaustion. I was so tired, yet I dragged myself to rehersal. That's next week...I definitely gotta learn my stories. I had to miss dinner, but I got a great chicken burrito from rambler at 10:00pm. I was completely exhausted until about 10 minutes ago...now I'm going to be wired all night. Oh no.

I'm not good with this getting my homework done thing. I meant to go to the library at 9:00pm, but it was closed, and one thing led to another, and now it's almost 1:00am and I still have fifty pages of Cicero to read. I guess if I don't finish it, no big deal...but our second paper is due next monday and the next few weeks are pretty busy for me. Instead of homework earlier, I woke up, met up with Keith at lunch, and then rode down to the Unique Thirft store where I got three t-shirts, a bracelet, and a 50s-60s compilation record for an amazing $3.50. Is that sweet or what? Then I picked up my pictures from walgreens. I don't know what I was thinking. Some of the pictures are of my hotel room when I came for orientation. Woopee. At least I got a good one of campus and one with a few of my friends here. The one with "everyone" in it, though, didn't turn out. Well, I best be off to bed/study. I did something stupid today and now i have to give my tour tomorrow at 3:00pm even though I'm not prepared, which means no nap time for me tomorrow. And Joslyn..hope everything works out with the car situation.

Home Sweet Home
That is not Muskegon. Muskegon is a place. A crappy place. A ghetto town. The only thing in Muskegon is my friends, but without them, Muskegon is nothing. I don't want to seem stuck up, but I've gotten use to the big city life, and I love it. I left ske town at about 5:00am this morning (chi time) and didn't get back to Loyola until almost noon. But after I got in, I put my stuff down, took a shower, and headed out. I opened a checking account with BankOne. The woman who set up my account was also from Michigan. She was nice but spent 10 minutes clarifying the concept of "overdraw protection," even though I clearly knew what it meant. Besides that, she was nice. I was in a bit of hurry though. As soon as I dropped my bank information off at the room, I headed to the "el" to go to the Chicago Historical Society's exhibit called Teen Life, exploring the lives of teenagers throughout the 20th century. Interesting stuff. I've never been there before, but I managed to find the place, even though I left my map back at the room. That could've been useful, but since I didn't have it, I just kept walking, seeing what was on the next block, and the next block, and the next block, until finally I had walked all the way from Clark/Division through Lincoln Park and Lakeview neighborhoods to Addision. That's a pretty long way. But it was worth exploring. Last night I didn't do much of anything and went to bed with a headache. Originally I wanted to have a bonfire on the beach for ol' times sake, but seeing as we just had twigs for firewood, we decided to stay at my house and watch a movie, "we" being Josie and Kenesha and later Nick, Melissa, and Schotts. We didn't watch a movie though. We spent the night listening to people's ringtones. Saturday night was much better, seeing as I went to my sister's marching band competition and got to see a lot of familar faces, including Mrs. McConnel and Mrs. Wilson. Later that night, Andre and I rode up to White Cloud to go bowling and sing kareoke with Amanda, Jami, and Jill, but unfortuneately, Andre cut out early. He didn't even get to see me and Jami murder "Like a Virgin." My sleeping schedule is completely out of wack. I should try to get some sleep...

Wow. It feels so strange to be home. This is a foreign environment to me. Since I've been gone, my mom's gotten a job, we got a new car, and the bathtub has been reglazed. It's like a different world. After living in chicago, though, I can honestly say that muskegon sucks. I mean, it has the beach and all my friends...but the city itself doesn't compare to chicago at all. Obviously, right? It's ghetto town. Well, I'm gonna go get some sleep. The train ride wasn't bad and melissa, nick, andre, and jami came over tonight to celebrate my birthday/being home.

Due to the heat wave, I couldn't sleep in my room last night and ended up sleeping in the lounge. I wish I could open my window but we have huge-ass spiders waiting to lay their eggs in our brains. I did alright on my Italian midterm. I was dead all day. I still have Aristotle to read, but I think I might just go to bed.

Ahh! I'm stressed out and I'm about to have heat stroke. They turned off the frickin a/c to the whole building and now it's an inferno in here! I walked into my room after writing my english mid term paper at the library (explains the stress level) and was hit was a heat wave. The stress is only going to rise as I stay up trying to study Italian...cramming is more like it. After tomorrow, everything will be golden. I just better score well on my English and Italian midterms. I'm excited that I get to come home in 2 days. I get to sleep in my own bed, my own room, go places I'm familar with, buy stuff I need, possibly go to a movie, and see a lot of my friends...and pick up all my coats! It might be hot in my room, but it's freezing outside! The funniest thing happened tonight on the way back from the library. Well, first I went to CFSU to get some juice. EVERYONE was hanging out there! I saw Megan and Keith and walked with them for a little bit. When we were walking down the "hallway," this girl passed us and audibly FARTED. We died laughing. I have to hold back my laughter even now in reminecense. Ahh, good times. Oh, and FYI, 100% of the student population breaks wind...random fact I was taught tonight.
