Random Update (12.3.11)

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!
