Cloud 9

Oooh it was another great night of dancing! *continues to dance on Cloud 9*



Some of the questions I found myself unable to decide, so I did it twice:

So Thursday night I played DDR all evening, night, and into morning. Last night I was swing dancing from 9-midnight. Tonight? Social dance -- swing, waltz, mambo and meringue, from 7-???! Right now I'm sore, but pretty pumped for tonight. :) Pictures at some later date.

Yeah, so, I'm writing an essay. And a friend of mine sent that to me. Too hard to resist.

Back to the grindstone.

Birthday!

22 today! Whoo hoo!

... I'm so old. :P

I got some things for George, including a carrying case for his commuter state. ;) It was a good birthday. I got lots of things, and no, very few for George. Also got a watch, some figurines, pirate stuff, and, today, FLOWERS, and so forth. More for me than him. ;) More about presents or something later. Busy now.

It's hard to believe that it's the middle of September already. On Monday I'll be 22. Geez, I'm old. And you know, I'm really not looking forward to my birthday. I'm actually rather unhappy and depressed about it. I feel like I've done nothing in the last year, and that I'm old and lost and unable to get anywhere in life. So, happy birthday to me, yay.

I'm watching LOTR and relaxing. Kevin, my RD, gave me his packet on IU's grad school from when he was looking at schools. That made me happy. He's more than willing to help me out on this, which is nice. I'm putting up posters, which I still haven't gotten around to after four weeks here.

George is doing well. He's gotten more gerbilish, so bleh to that. But he's still adorable. And loves the TV. Or hates it. I'm not sure which. Either way, he comes out to watch whenever it's on. Classes are going decently well. Horseback and I aren't getting along. Sinuses and I aren't either. But my room has maintained a state of cleanliness all semester thus far. It's even organized. Mostly.

I am in a constant state of depression and distress when it comes to the GREs and studying for them, thinking about them, and so forth. I just want to sit down and cry.

Classics department cookout tomorrow afternoon. Celtic festival down on the Ohio Saturday. Birthday meal on Sunday, then back on campus for a meeting at 8 for the Classics club. Maybe. Depends on when I leave home.

And that's all.

PICTURES!

As promised, I have pictures posted. They're in thumbnail form here, so click them to enlarge to a nice, viewable size. Enjoy!

Caribbean Festival:

The Crowd and Uptown - yes, a storm is coming in. It actually cut the festival short.

The Crowd and Uptown 2

Isn't it a cutie! It's a Coatimundi. I think.

RAs Kari (L) and Becky (R), with random stilts guy who was being hilarious. And wanted in the picture.

LLAMA!

Me after my face was painted. Definately not a professional painter, but was fun anyways. We all got our faces painted.

MY RA Victoria, and one of her friends Tim, who is one of the people I now hang out with as well, it would seem. He's cool. I like him. I like Victoria, too. Else I wouldn't spend my Thursday nights playing DDR or Talisman till 3am. :-P

Renaissance Festival


Crystal and Ben at Renfest.

Jousting!

Wizard's Chess? Living chess board.

Ben in his skirt. Er, kilt. ;)

Me in my dress. I look fat.

Arrrrrg! Avast, mateys! Do not take me on, I am the terror of the, erm, festival... *shifty eyes*

Singing drunken pirates. Hilarious.

Swordfighting. Sweet.
