Crazy Weekend / Introspection

I think I just had one of the most amazing weekends of my life.

Star Wars role play, a party in Glencoe, meeting my new neighbors, and of course Andrew Bird *swoons*. Jam-packed action, mostly involving my good friend Altaris. We stayed up until 3 or 4 in the morning every night and slept until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Lazy AND jam-packed. Hard to beat.

Andrew Bird rocked my socks and my brain and my heart and pretty much melted all of my circuits for the two hours proceeding his concert. Not only were there calm melodies found on the CDs, but Andrew Bird and his now four-piece band (including himself) rocked out on several numbers. Many of his songs should only be listened to live. The sheer wall of sound produced by his band is amazing. Also, when the spinny speaker thingy (I may insert the name later if I can remember of it) is a great end to several songs. The sound is thrown out into the venue and you can feel its waves wash over you. *sigh*

Unfortunately, my schedule became skewed by all of the awesome. I couldn't fall asleep last night and I had to get up at 9:30 in order to get a good start on my day. Makes me think that I need to start going to bed early and getting into the lab early.

As much as I enjoy staying up late and talking to my friends, the fact of the matter is I get little work done. It was advantageous to me to stay up late when Tara and I were sharing an apartment, but now that I have my own room I have no reason to be up late. Granted, when I stayed up late with Tara and developed these bad habits of mine, I didn't have friends that were up until 4am and were willing to talk to me.

Look for me online less. Watch for me working more. Talk to me and hopefully find that I'll have a better outlook on my situation.

Gotta get this paper done by Thursday.
