I am pretty excited. I bought some tickets to see The Antlers, and if you've even glanced at any of my other blog posts you'll know that I'm sickly obsessed with those people. From the youtube stuff that I've seen, they are excellent live. I remember thinking before I knew they were coming to where I live, "Look at all those people in the audience not even smiling... and they're watching The Antlers. I would kill to see them."
The Squirrel, my '93 Toyota Corola 5-speed, may or may not be able to handle 2 1/2 hour trek to the concert location. Well, I believe that it would make it, and I was gonna take it. However, my parents believe otherwise and are going to somehow let me borrow my dad's Toyota Camry (forgot the year.... can't be less than 2000) for the night.
But it's an automatic...
Bleh. I hate driving automatic cars now. I feel like it's way too easy and I start multitasking to the point where I forget what I'm really doing; driving.
It's really easy to be asocial in college. For me, anyway. I can go to class and run back to my apartment for safety at any time. I suppose that's a really great thing except that I'm not going to meet anyone this way.
I need to do something outside of this apartment. That is my goal for the week. I am going to make friends, danggit.
College so far has been pretty great. Exactly how I expected, but a little better. Living on my own in an apartment has been a blast. Here are a few highlights of my week.
-The pool at my apartment is way nice.
-The student teacher helping teach my Freshman Seminar class is amazing. Foreign, smart, and oh yeah, foreign.
-I drank this coke today that was really great.
-My lab partner in Chemistry is a smart guy who always knows what he's doing. (Thank you!)
I've been trying to be a little bit more positive (just kidding, I have a couple other blogs where I'm a total debbie downer), so here is my attempt.

Love this so much it's probably unhealthy.
A confession: I just wrote my first real check ever today in order to pay my rent. I looked at that check kinda blankly. Even though I've seen people write them, know what to write on them, and have done it before with fake checks, I wasn't really sure what to do. Thank you google and your infinite wisdom.
I can now drive a 5-speed without stalling out. I consider this a major accomplishment.
