ok so the past like half a day has been crazy...and if it's any indicator maybe the rest of the day will be unexpected but exhilarating as well. so just to get started:
1. Ben Folds at Bollo's
so if you know me fairly well you know i'm pretty much in love with Bollo's the independent, vegan/vegetarian coffee shop here in blacksburg. i met up with a friend there yesterday evening to work on some poetry and strangely enough Mr. Folds was just sitting there chilling and drinking coffee. i mean it's not like he came to blacksburg just for the coffee, he is playing a show here at Tech tomorrow...but i was excited because i've never met a famous person, much less someone i respect musically. i got his autograph because i'm a tool like that.
2. Handcuffs
long story short at about 1:00am there was an incident in my hallway that involved three drunk male residents...the details aren't important but i did see someone get arrested and handcuffed..something i have never witnessed in real life. i've seen handcuffs plenty of times on law&order of course. but yeah. it was an experience, and it took me forever to fall asleep...i love my job, i love my job....yeah.

3. Gorgeous Weather
it was unbelievably beautiful out today, sunny and just right warm, not uncomfortable.
4. Internship Info
i applied almost two weeks ago for an internship with the national center for ethics in health care. i finally got an email back from their seattle office asking for more information...so i suppose that's a good sign although i'm not too sure about moving to seattle for a whole summer. it's awfully far away and they don't provide housing. but whatever. positive thinking! i heard back and they sound interested in me. yay!
that's all i have...hokie football season tickets go on sale tomorrow. i think i'm going to get them just so i can have an excuse to come back to blacksburg for as many weekends as i can next semester.
today was exhausting.
What was (or is) your favorite subject in school?
literature has always been one of my favorite subjects. i love love love reading and analyzing works, especially poetry.
i'm such a nerd.
ps. i promise to write a good update when i'm not feeling mentally and emotionally destroyed.
pps. incase you were worried, i didn't get killed by the escaped convict running around blacksburg. i'll write about that later too.
the last few days have been probably the most stressful and sleepless days i've had in a very very long time. it started with ra training that meshed with closing for summer that meshed with opening for fall that meshed with auditioning for the marching virginians.
auditioning for marching band is something that i've talked about doing since freshman year, but have come up with an excuse not to every year. so, since it's my senior year and it's my last chance ever i decided to go for it. ok so i'm totally a deadline person, i only function well when under extreme amounts of pressure. speaking of pressure, it has been totally fun trying out since i havent played my clarinet since may 2003. i also haven't marched drill since 2002 (i was drum major my senior year). also because they had too many clarinets audition and they had to cut some...i don't know the exact number people were throwing around numbers between 7 and 14, so who knows.
so anyway. i made it!! but i'm too tired to be as excited as i should be about all of this. so give me a couple days to catch up on sleep and maybe some time to finish setting up my room and then i probably won't be able to stop talking about the band. (i know you can't wait)
also. classes start on monday. holy holy crap.
