Have you been alright, through all those
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything
If you'd pick up that telephone (ELO)
The songs I've been looping as of late:
Gotta have that music to study to, haha. ^^
After last week Friday, Saturday was pretty jam-packed as I reminisced a bit about the high school days while Megan & Cheyenne headed off to be initiated, wore a dress in the confines of my dorm room, and then headed out to Magic Island for a few hours at the beach with Megan. We headed to Zippy's afterwards to meet Cheyenne so she could try the Vic Pac (which I had a delicious piece of Portuguese sausage from, mmm) and the three of us had our dinner. Boy, do I love their chili and chicken, even if it's more expensive than a bigger meal at the dorms... That evening I headed out to watch Stop Kiss at the late night theater with Briana, Renee, and Sarah. It was the last show, and it was definitely interesting, especially in the way that they revealed the plot of the story. Too bad they didn't have an actual cat; It would have won me over.
The first week of October sure did pass by in a blur! I don't quite remember what happened, but I do remember heading to rehearsals for quartet and symphony, and going into the lab and running a column again. 'Tis what I do, haha! Also, 'tis the reason my forearms ache. I'm much too short, but I definitely have to show that I can take care of myself in the lab -- hey man, I can't have people doing things for me in the future! I've got to do what I can as a volunteer... Though I seem to be bad luck, 'cause something always breaks each time I'm there (e.g. shattered and cracked Erlenmeyer flasks, broken thermometers, weird unknown substances forming, mistaken substances mixed together, popped balloons). Oh dear.
This past weekend I got to go home. I ate delicious ice cream cake with my family, watched Despicable Me (which my father borrowed: I lol so much at Vector EVERY TIME, though I guess he's not really that funny at all xD), played the upright piano (I really wish I had a piano of some sorts in the dorm room), and just... chilled. I pet the cat a bit and fell asleep on my face, though I avoided Jaynie taking picture of me, haha.
On Sunday night I went to see YTF's first concert at the Hawaii Theatre with Megan!!!

| Yeah the sideward skills yo |
Our seats on the balcony (er, lodge?) weren't that bad. It was a wonderful experience (though this gang of middle schoolers behind us kept yelling the lamest/most irritating things ever, but hey, kids will be kids, baby), especially since it was kind of a... first concert, of a sort, for me. I laughed so much and really appreciated all the effort the 7 of them put into their music, their dancing, and their comedy.
This week hasn't been going so well overall after that, though, just 'cause my workload hasn't stopped growing. We did have a RAPS meeting today, which cheered me up, 'cause they're actually pretty awesome people that I'm glad to be friends with and spend time with. It kind of brings me back to ground and reminds me of the kind of people I aspire to be and kind of people I want to think I'm worth being friends with. It's also always great to walk and talk after a month of not really seeing each other. I should really try to make better friends of people, though...
Things will get better. Gotta get to work! So long~
