"Sometimes it's good to have some time for yourself"

Friday.

My week of utter laziness comes full circle, but my what a week it has been. After I finished reading for History, and writing my book review ( I got a B on it...) My academic body shut down. Since then I've been taking naps, and having a good time.

Last Saturday, after working at the Stadium and being walked back back Beth and Louisa (love!) I went adventuring with Jenny. We went to the Walker, but it closed, so we explored the sculpture garden, and then we went to the Tea Garden to wait for Ben. I met Codey there too, and that was splendid. I had TWO Kiwi latte jasmine green teas with strawberry jellies. Yum Yum Yum.

After Tea Garden, we went back to Augsburg and prepared for the rest of the evening. Normally when I am asked if I want to go dancing at First Ave for Too Much Love, I say, "Yeah, well, thanks, but that really isn't my scene." Ha. Coincidentally, Visser wanted to go dancing too! So she met up with us before we went! It really was great. TML rocks. What better way to spend a dollar and wiggle out all your cares? That's what I did. The next time that opportunity comes up, I will probably have some excuse not to go... but I might not be so quick to turn it down. !!!

That Sunday I slept way too late, and then went to Three Sisters to see Kathleen. My main review is that it's difficult watching your friends perform and try to believe the story... when you know your friends. Otherwise the play was really good.

As far as the week in between then and now goes, I have been treading water. This week I have the 10 page history paper due, and I need to finish "Confronting the American Dream," which really means "read" because I am only on chapter two. I will work really hard this week, burn myself out, and then I will have another lazy week. Or not. I will find the motivation somewhere.

Last night after class I went to the Varsity Theater with a band friend to see another band friend perform with his band "The Blend." They were really good, and I was able to do some more wiggling. I didn't get home until late, and I wonder why I wanted to sleep in this morning...

Tomorrow I work at Dino's again bright and early. I look forward to it.

So. I feel like I have been living the Minneapolis experience. I've been having FUN, and my school work isn't suffering so bad. Last semester I had fun and worked hard and didn't sleep much, but I really enjoy sleeping.

Oh well. I am happy.
