spring day

You know that feeling when you spend all day in the ocean playing in the waves and then you come home and sit down and still feel like you are being tossed about by waves? i have that feeling right now, but i was not playing in waves (sadly), I was in the wind. today was spring day, a day where we have no class and there is music and other activities in the quad outside of 609 and Wood. it was a beautiful day today (apparently the first nice spring day in 11 years or so). and it was sooo windy! i love the wind!

I spent the entire day tie-dying, rocking out to this really good band, and hanging out on the grass just lounging around. everywhere people were playing football and frisbee, and we even saw some people playing bocce ball, or whatever you call it. it was wicked.

it is hard to imagine that we only have three more weeks of school left. i am very glad of this, but will also miss my friends. next semester many of my friends will be abroad, which is an interesting prospect to consider.

Well, it is the end of another weekend. Though I do not have a ton of homework tonight, I do wish that the weekend were longer!

Friday night I went to "Dick Talk". this is the male equivalent of the vagina monologues, and this is the second year in its existence. it was pretty interesting, and some of them were very funny. one guy who was giving a monologue about taking a shower and reading the pamphlet for the testicular cancer self test even wore a speedo throughout his monologue....it was very amusing and he got a huge cheer.

Saturday night was the drag show, where we get professional drag queens to come and preform. they looked like real females!

and now we have a ton of high school seniors on campus for Senior Open House. I always think that it is amusing that they have big visit days on Sunday nights. I mean, Sundays are the days that most students want to do all of the homework they have been ignoring/neglecting. this does not mean we are not happy to host prospies...it is just an interesting fact.

i do not want to look for an apartment this summer! i didn't think I would need to be looking for housing until...well, a long time from now. I don't really like it much, have to admit. If anyone knows of any apartments for lease in Chicago, let me know :)
