Looking ahead

Biochemistry test two - done and over! I think I did okay, not as well as I did last time though. I've vastly improved from my last post. I'm at peace with everything and moving on.

This past week I did a lot of neat things. Wednesday I went out with a bunch of Air Force people (Air Forcers?) to dinner to show some interviewees just how awesome we were. Thursday we met for pancakes! They were awesome. Then I helped with interview day - was there for Q&A and gave a tour to the prospective students. It was fun, and I learned that we're allowed to/supposed wear the Global War on Terror ribbon, which means I need to make another pilgrimage to Andrews.

Friday was the biochem test, and then lab. They always make us take lab after a test, since we're required to go to lab so we can't skip. It's a good plan, but I was sicker than anything so I was not excited about smelling formalin for two hours. I made it through then was miserable at home.

I felt better yesterday, so I went out and bought a bookcase-thing from IKEA for my DVDs, window treatments for the bedroom, and a flower pot for the plant my grandma sent me. I'm determined to keep it alive, so I'm going to move it into a bigger pot with a water catcher so I can gauge if I need to water it or not. I got the pot from Michael's, and am in the process of painting red. So it will match, of course. As for the window treatments... I think I drilled twelve different holes for a total of eight screws. In other words, parts of the wall nearest the window have a superficial metal layer that my drill cannot take. So I had to keep moving further out. You can't really tell thankfully, since the curtains cover them. I also tried to drill a hole in the ceiling without success for my hanging lamp. The ceiling is not drillable. So there's an extra useless hole. The kitchen has a lower ceiling, so I managed to get it up in there. The whole situation has left me with wall particulates everywhere and a serious dislike for drills. (Sorry Lulu.)

I have so much to look forward to though! Tomorrow is the Billy Talent show in Baltimore!!!!!! I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be the first "real" show I've seen of theirs. I saw them play in a record store in London, as a promotion for their second cd, which was neat, but that place was not acoustically designed. And it was short, to allow time for the signing. Then I saw them in Austin, but only as opening for My Chemical Romance. They are headlining this show!!

Then on Friday I'll board a train to New York! I'm excited to see Ashley and visit the city! Plus, isn't there just something adorable and quaint about taking a train? Aaaand it's a three day weekend, so yay!

Anywho, I do have a military studies test tomorrow, so I'm going to try to pretend to study for it. It'll be great.
