This post is going to be quick. I just felt the need to whip something up because I'm afraid you all thought I was dead. But look! Not dead! Typing! HELLO! I have been far more dead than I am now, I can assure you.
Anyway, sorry for the long gap in posts. I've been busy, but not with anything exceptionally exciting. I have finally, after two and a half months, settled in to a steady routine of things normal college students do: class, reading, drinking, sleeping, papers, hanging out with friends. Every Wednesday night I walk over to an apartment complex where I meet up with a group of really awesome people, and we drink and play pong and watch TV and act like college students. I read a lot, mostly for class. I sleep and eat at weird hours. Things are pretty typical.
I still go out exploring frequently. Last week I was bored and trekked to the somewhat-near-by mall and had a chance to feel like my old middle school mall-rat self. Last weekend I went to a comedy show with Jacky and company, and afterwards we hit up a really awesome diner where parts of The Big Lebowski were filmed. Friday night I check out two of the local bars with my drinking buddies, and sadly was only impressed by how insanely low my alcohol tolerance has become (they were really weird bars). These things were all really awesome, but I didn't have the urge to blog about them like I have about other things. Meh.
But! This is all about to change, because this next week, starting tomorrow, will probably be my most exciting week in California. Tomorrow night, after two months of waiting, staring longingly at the ticket taped to my wall, I get to see the Sounds! I haven't been to a show since CSS and Sleigh Bells this summer, and I'm dying to get sweaty in a crowd of strangers and scream until I lose my voice. Its very therapeutic, trust me.
And then on Saturday, my one of my bestest best friends from childhood and beyond is coming to visit! Courtney and I have known each other since 7th grade and we, being the two halves of the anti-christ and all, are sure to tear shit up.
We pretend to be confused so you'll let your guard down.
So watch for some exciting posts in the next week! Serious shit is going down.
On a completely random note, Pepero Day is awesome. Thanks Bill Choe!
Finally, I want to remind my Minneapolis friends (and anyone who is interested in reading about a Minnesotan's experience teaching college-aged students in China) to keep up with Mitch's blog. Its hilarious and I love it.
I miss you all, and I'll be in touch soon!
