Busy, busy

Wow, things have been totally nuts lately. I started classes at MSU on Monday and have been spending vast amounts of time driving back and forth from Ann Arbor to East Lansing. Thank god for my iPod or I'd go nuts. I like my journalism classes a lot so far and they're totally different from what I was doing in my English Lit classes (change is a good thing). It is a little weird going to MSU after having grown up in Ann Arbor. I'm only partially joking when I say I hope nobody slashes my tires because of the U of M sticker on my car...I'm not thrilled about having to do homework again, but at least I'm doing something with my brain. I feel like my brain was beginning to atrophy with my current job.

The past weekend was pretty busy too. Friday night I went to a happy hour at Leopold's with the MeetIn group. Had a lot of fun and met someone who knows some people I went to high school with. Drank a lot and so spend most of Saturday slightly hungover. Saturday night I went out to dinner with my parents, husband and wife for my bro's birthday and my parents' anniversary. After dinner husband, wife and I went over to the Alley Bar followed by the Fleetwood. Again, drank much and spent the next day slightly hungover and exceedingly tired.

As for this weekend...I'm headed to Grizzley Peak for happy hour, Blue Nile for dinner and then the Ark to see the Kinsey Report (a blues band which should be cool, and I've never been to the Ark before). Then on Saturday we're headed out to celebrate husband's birthday again. I presume much will be drunk this weekend as well. Hmm, do you notice a trend?? Should be a lot of fun though, so it's all good.

Let's see, what else is going on...I've got a few bits of music news. I got a ticket to go see Hard-Fi at the Magic Stick on the 21st which I'm pretty psyched about. Like I said in a previous post, they're HUGE in England so getting to see them in a pretty intimate setting before they get huge here is cool:) I'm also going to see The Subways at the Magic Stick in March. Another Brit band that is getting a lot of airplay on Virgin Radio and Kerrang! Radio, but not many people over here have heard of them. So, fun:) Good stuff coming up. I wanted to go see Panic! At the Disco and The Academy Is but it looks like the tickets are sold out. Oh well, probably shouldn't spend all my money.

Tried to give my hair a purple-ish tint but it didn't really work. It just looks dark, dark brown with a reddish tint. Weirdly enough, my mom liked it better than before. I'm still aiming for the purple though and ordered some Manic Panic that may work better than the stuff I just tried. Yeah, I'm weird and probably too old to be doing this but I don't care. Hmm, maybe I'm going through a quarter life crisis or something like that...
That's all for now!
Ciao,
