so it's not hard to fall / when you float like a cannonball
it has been one of those weeks where i cannot believe it is friday, but i am so happy it is (two word – sleeping in). i have ran from thing to thing and when 6 comes each night i wonder where the time went. it is amazing how my life has changed in the past month.
work is crazy busy with classes (i am taking two and taing one) and with my trying to get much stuff ready for this conference. i am still stressed about it, but now i am finally back to working on that project and so at least i feel a little in control. i work like 60 hours a week. c’est le vie. i like working. i still see ben almost every night. it works out. i just want to stop having to come in on the weekends. that is the hardest.
it has been a great week, even though i have not had time to post. i had two homeworks due in the past two days, so that was taking up all my down time in the lab. ah, classes.
the cubs lost. it was a heartbreaker – especially tuesday when we were ahead and it looked like we were going to win the game. it was a sad night, though i do have to share that i had my first knowing the bouncer experience. i meet ben in wrigglyville for tuesday’s game. of course it was like 7:30 before i got down there. it was crazy and all the bars had major lines in front of them that weren’t moving (as no one was leaving). ben knows this bouncer at the bar he was at and when i got there just came out and got me in. it was strange to cut in front of this huge line of people and just walk in. i had guilt, i must admit. but hey, that is what b/fs are good for, right?
last night jen and steve had us and leta and steve’s old roommate over for dinner. they are all vegetarians / starchtarians. i brought carrot cake (yum). then we went to this cool bar around up the street where they had a million types of beer. i had a fabulous raspberry beer. it was a lot of fun. the juxtapositions of ben’s group of friend and mine is very funny. i enjoy it. steve and ben, of course, hit it off. this is the second boy i’ve introduced that has developed a little guy crush on steve. they do have a lot in common and have the same temperament. it is why steve and i get along so well. but him and ben have the music thing. it was the first thing that ben wanted a tour of in their apartment – steve’s guitar cases. it amuses me.
