Days Go By

It looks like you missed the whole weekend, my friend. A recap? Why yes, I can do that.

Friday is where we left off, I feel. My aim this weekend was to finish all of my homework, which was done successfully, but quite in the manner of that I went about it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. Newman and Matt were over and making a bunch of noise, and Newman kept asking me to get Daniel in town. After much harassing of Daniel and Patrick, I convinced them to drive down from Oxford. There was a lot of freezing rain that night, and Patrick's car was completely sheeted in ice. We ate some greasy Mexican food and I picked up a few brews for Patrick, who'd lost his license and was unable to acquire his own. We went out to Raven and Jay's (the Bird's) place, and watched Borat and Bring It On. Raven wanted to watch Bring It On 2, but we couldn't handle any more, but decided to Walk to Walmart (on the coldest day of the year thus far) and get Bring It On 3 (because it has Hayden Panettiere) Daniel and Patrick slipped and fell over on a bridge that had been completely iced over. I warned them on the return, so that helped them to not quite topple when returning. We lated retired to my place to sleep. It was a fun and eventful night, even if this description doesn't make it sound so glorious.

Saturday meant a great deal of change in my life, as I changed something that had been with me for nearly 8 years. Shock and Awe ensued. A friend of mine had been wanting to come over for a few days to play video games, and so a few people came out and Played Guitar Hero, Halo, Katamari, and Gears of War. The whole night progressed and pretty much that pace, until things wound down around 5:30am when Hope and Zach took off.

Sunday...hmm. I spent most of Sunday reading and doing my homework. I actually got some things done, for a change, though it took a while. I also turned down a couple potentially fun events, but I would like to commend myself for willpower there as opposed to mourning the loss. That took its toll into the wee hours, regrettably, so I'm trying to make sure that doesn't happen again.

Monday was probably the best day of my life. It's not often that you have something you've dreamed about for years and years finally become real. You have to treasure those moments that something incredible that you've yearned for is finally made yours. I got one of those things on this day, and it was wonderful.

Tuesday - Still reeling in the sensation, and trying hopelessly to pay attention to my homework. I've lost myself to it.
