SO

I'm guessing the ideal thing to do would be to update this thing whenever something REALLY AMAZING has happened, and that's what just happened...something REALLY AMAZING. Well, probably not such a big deal, but I went to this really, really great guitar concert (because I'm running out of superlatives here, I'll limit myself to only those written).

Anyway, the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet played. I even got the program signed, and the entire time I was just about jumping out of my seat because I was so excited. Rather, half the time because the first half of the program I had to stand, since I was ushering. Black pants, white shirt and all, I looked like a waitress, but I got a free concert out of it.

So, why was it so great. For starters, it was acoustic guitar, which practically everyone loves anyway, so I guess that's not reason enough, but they did these really interesting things with guitar. For instance, when I was sitting down in the balcony with limited viewing, I thought they had brought a piano out, but they had only played the guitar differently. This was accompanied with trombone and violin imitations, and they did some pretty crazy things with their strings. I don't remember quite what it's called, but I could ask someone. It had something to do with plucking the strings on the opposite side, or I'm not quite sure...they were fiddling around at the top of the guitar a lot, that's for sure. I think I'll post the signed program on livejournal, not like anyone really cares.

So what I have left to do tonight is to finish up my chemistry. But I have to go to someone for help with that in a little bit, and because I'm still glowing from this concert, I decided to update. Chemistry, though, will really put a damper on things. I talked to another 3rd year usher tonight, and she was telling me how much she hates life because she's a biology major. She did sound really bitter, and she was most likely exaggerating how hard and annoying it is, but at the moment it wouldn't take much to convince me that majoring in biology is about as bad as selling my soul to the devil. First quarter has already made me feel little, inadequate, suicidal, cold, alone, hungry, scared, like there are wolves after me, so I've got the feeling it doesn't get better after this. But I dont feel like giving up too easily either, you know? Besides, I've always held to the idea that even the worst of things, or people, will teach anyone something, so I could get something out of chemistry, somehow.

Huh, this is more academic-y than anything I suppose. But Mary Kate just came over and drew a mouse on my arm with red and black sharpies, while intermittently reading a really really bad essay she has to proofread. For example:

"I chose to explore this topic in depth because of the many reasons such as most importantly to address the health hazards involved in using these drugs. Another reason is that performance-enhancing drugs promote unfairness in the sports world. And the last reason is to address the controversy of whether regulation amounts of certain drugs should be lowered for example caffeine."

What a sentence. We just concluded our feces could write something better than that. And I think that's the perfect way to end a post: our waste can write coherent sentences, and I've got a red and black mouse on my forearm.
