Current mood:bar time is 6:30
i received a check in the mail, sent to my parents' address, from the city of carbondale, for a sum of $93. i have no idea what this is for/from. its literally just a check, made out in my name, from the city of carbondale, for the sum of $93. i was cited for riding my bicycle on the street on 10-31-01, but the fine was only $76, so there would be no reason to refund me $93.
cloud mouth is currently my favorite chicago band. dudes shred. i went to see them on tuesday. of all the spots in the room i could have walked to and all the people i could have stood next to, i ended up by giuseppe. i was surprised by this and not ready for it at all. but my mom helped me put things in to perspective when i talked to her later in the night, and i am grateful for that and also for the fact that he was not in attendance with some one else and also for the fact that he was nice to me. i felt painfully out of sorts. i know that i'm not ready. but i don't know if i am being too stubborn for my own good.
my cousin and his wife are having their wedding reception in maryland at the end of march. i'm on the fence if i want to go to it. i really loathe those stuffy, formal, family obligations, although this particular cousin i am particularly fond of. he's always been really laid back and generally a much better person to me than his sister, who is the only other family i've had the experience of going to a stuffy, formal, family wedding for. besides, my tattoos won't go over well at all.
school starts on tuesday. i have only three classes left to take and then i'm done with the required pre-reqs. i am going to take the DAT in june and have my application ready to submit electronically by june 1st. then i am going to keep my fingers crossed that i get invited for an interview. included in the cost of the DAT, i get my scores forwarded to up to five schools. i have chosen UIC, kentucky, LSU, nebraska, and new jersery. if i get in on my first try, i would matriculate in august 2011.
my new favorite activity is ice skating. i went twice this week. its free to go skate at various chicago parks if you have your own skates. i skated for 45 minutes today. its quite tiring, but a nice physical activity. its also nice to get some fresh air and also some time to process my thoughts as i'm skating around and around in circles. i also laugh at the little kids who are there. some are terrible, clinging to their parents, and some are fearless and whizzing around and darting around the other skaters. its very fun to watch.
our blue recycle bin out in the alley has a cracked lid. it will with water when it rains/snows, and last night it was overflowing with melt water from the gutter on the garage. i tried to pour it out but it was too heavy i couldn't even get it to budge. i threw my recycling into the neighbor's bin instead. i talked to my mom again and she recommended that i take a hammer and nail and put a few little puncture holes near the bottom and the water will slowly drain out. that's a great idea, and way easier than if i got a bucket and slowly emptied the water until i could tip the bin over.
i am rambling. i am avoiding something. i am confused and nervous and a little intoxicated. here's rancid covering op ivy b/c believe it or not, the quality of the audio is way better than any other live recording i found on youtube, minus the album version with just the cover art. but looking at cover art is boring compared to watching a live performace, and i don't like green day's version. and that's fine!
