Random Update (12.20.11)

Studying for Calculus exam with Matt, Bryan, and Charae! I will begin in about an hour, and be done by 2:30 EST. By tonight, however, I will be back in good ol' CST. Merry Christmas and see you next year, Mr. Blog.

Exams are ongoing, but the end is near. I have taken western cult., physics, and Spanish so far. I studied a lot for physics and did very well, I think. Spanish was good, not great (lots and lots of grammar), and western cult. was just a bunch of writing. Rumor has it our teacher sorta makes up our grades anyways.

Studying has taken place either a) in my room b) in the quiet study lounge or c) in the law school. The following is an interpretation of finals week, as enacted by Anne, Christine, Angela, and myself in the law school classrooms on lil' ol' Newton campus.

Grieves concert on Monday was the greatest $13 I have ever spent. If you're interested, look into his work. He's one of the most talented lyricists/rappers/artists I know, and his live show was even better than his studio recordings. Not many modern hip-hoppers or rappers can live (pun) up to that.

Tomorrow (Friday) is the last day of classes before finals week! Also, Friday is the last day I plan to spend time going out and about a lot, because here in college, finals account for anywhere from 40%-70% of your final grade. Thus, I will be studying my hind-quarters off this weekend and throughout next week. I pride myself in not resorting to caffeine. Yet. As I mentioned, Friday should be fun. I'm going ice-skating again (I WANT MORE EMBARRASSMENT!!!) with Annmarie, Susan, and probably others. And I forgot to mention: it's finally dropped below 50 degrees here. Come at me, Northeastern weather patterns.

Since I was bombarded by essays and tests in the days before Thanksgiving, this week has flown by without much trouble at all. Other events include a hockey game, Concert for Congo, Afterhours, 3v3 Hoops for Hope, and The Acoustics performance. Here is a brief run-down of each.

Friday

7:30 PM Hockey Game: Attended with Anne, Angela, and Christine. Consult previous ice-skating photos for identification. We lost 3-5 to BU, I hear. I only stayed for one (1) period because at

8:30 PM Concert for Congo: I was 1/2 an hour late, and met up with Matt, Charae, and Erick. The concert raised money for a hospital that offers care to women in the East Congo who are the victims of all sorts of abuse and disease. Dance groups like Fuego! and Synergy performed, as well as a poet/activist who was extremely moving with his spoken-word songs. We ate, played a card game called Palace, and then later there was something at

11:00 PM Afterhours: Funny! Five (5) student written and directed one-acts. This lasted until about 12:30 PM, and then I went Bach home to Newton.

Saturday

11:00 AM 3v3 Basketball Tournament in the Plex. Participants include Matt (benched in bed due to illness), Christine, Kirsten and myself. We lost all our games in the Co-ed division, but played well. Christine and Kirsten went Bach to Newton to sleep, but I stayed for the

2:00 PM Basketball Game: We lost 61-75. It was tied at halftime. I went with Ted (Monty Python fan) and met Miguel (Arsenal fan) there.

6:30 PM The Acoustics Concert: Outstanding. Songs include: Dream On, Drops of Jupiter, Cinema (The beat-boxer beat-boxed the DUBSTEP REMIX of this song. It. Was. Too good!), Set Fire to the Rain, and others. They also had a hilarious skit about a 90's support group which included characters of lovable childhood things like AOL dial-up (beat boxer!), Oregon Trail, the cookie monster, and Lindsey Lohan. Perhaps Lohan is not a lovable childhood thing. But it was funny nonetheless.

Tomorrow includes such fun activities as golfing (the real kind!) with Matt in the morning, studying for the physics final from 2 to 8, and then doing other homework.

I miss everyone from Thanksgiving! Those few days were very relaxing and continue to keep me relaxed.

See ya!
