A Senseless Week to a Ludicrous Weekend

I would confidently say that this week was the most challenging week so far. It was senseless. I had two tests, an essay, a quiz, and a 40 questioned math assignment due. This is not including reading and I don’t know how I got it done. Here I am Sunday night and I know that when I wake up tomorrow, this game starts all over again.

How do I know when I reach the next level? How do I know that it’s game over? Will the red capitalized letters proclaim that this “game”, this life, is over?   I don’t know, but I keep on playing and doing what I do best: I try my hardest. After awhile, I realize something. I normally run into people from my classes and I ask them, “Have you started that paper?”

“-NO!” It is a relieving feeling to know that I am not the only one. I am not alone. I feel like everyone should realize that. It makes stress more manageable. I feel like I can handle whatever comes at me. Bring it, life. 😀 I know we experience life as a test, but is that at all? Shouldn’t we take full advantage of it? Of course! This is why my weekend was LUDICROUS.

Friday 11/12/10

After my last class, I worked out at the Hart Center. I went for a run, did some ab workouts, biked, and lifted a few weights. Then, I ran to crossroads, got some food from cross roads, met up with my chemistry teacher (awesome teacher!), and then my roommate and I decided to head over to Black Stone Valley to eat out for dinner and do some shopping.

We ate at Chicago UNO’s pizza. It really made me miss home… I can’t wait to go back and catch up on sleep! After stuffing our faces, we decided to stop at the guitar center where I got my boyfriend’s little brother a Christmas present already! I know know… it’s pretty early, but I couldn’t resist. Before John left for school after fall break, he bought his brother (Tommy) an electric guitar for five dollars. FIVE DOLLARS! Tommy couldn’t believe it and the guitar was in great condition. I decided to stop at the guitar center thinking maybe they sold trumpet music. I was wrong, there was no trumpet music and I thought, “Oh, Tommy also plays the trumpet, let’s find music”  As soon as I walked in the store, I saw this guitar accessory kit! I thought, “this would be perfect for a beginner guitar player which included a stand, strap, cables, tuner, picks, winder, cleaner, cloth, and etc.” There was no need for questions, but just in case, I called John to confirm and  got the gift. I can’t wait for Christmas and Tommy is going to love it!

Besides finding a gift, we also stopped by the guitar center so that Ali could play her ukulele. She misses her ukulele so much. I would have a video but I did not have my camera at the time but a phone with new high tech camera applications will do just fine!

After that, we headed back to school where we watched our good friend, Joel, compete in the rap competition. He was the same guy who also rapped on the street the second time we went to Boston as a group. Upon his request, he does not want videos, however I do have a picture of him rapping on stage.

I do have a video of one my favorite contestants at the rap off- Peter Boyle. I sound creepy because I don’t know him personally, but I respected his down to earth, clean, diverse, and smart free styling. He did not have a stage name, which I found awesome that he stayed true to himself while not exerting that much effort into the competition (at least it didn’t seem like it) and he got 3rd place. Congrats, Peter Boyle. Here’s his first free style.

The second freestyle had to be a rap on the top of party life.

I went to the basketball game! Here’s some pictures of the game!!!

After the game, I went back to the room, chilled out for a bit, watched my now favorite show to catch up on (MADMEN!), and I got ready for the Edge. I went to the Edge for a bit with my girl friends and went back to the room. I ended up falling asleep around 1 in the morning which is quite early for me. That may seem late for a weekday, but on a weekend that’s pretty reasonable. It sounds like a boring Saturday evening, but after taking note on the amount of homework I had that week and the minimal amount of sleep I had to fight that work load, my early bed time is expected. Don’t worry kids, you won’t be considered a lame for early a bed time. It’s okay!

Homework homework homework. I’m back at square one but at which level? I guess I won’t ever know, will I?
