I'm not here for hanging around.
--Gaslight Anthem

whew. With another Eastern Religions Exam under my belt, it's pretty much clear sailing until finals! I've just got one paper due for History of English and I'm thinking about researching how specifically the cultural clashes of the Caribbean during English settlement affected the language. Something like that anyways. It should be pretty fun to write, I love the era.

hmm. At the end of the week is the Twin Cities Hurling Club's end of the year banquet! Dress is semi-formal and i got the hottest yellow peep toe pumps for the occasion. very retro. I'm also getting my hair done hopefully in a fifties style but not gonna push my luck. My parents leave for their mediterreanian cruise on Thursday and that's the day I'm also coming home (soccer game) and skipping class on friday to get my hair done . They'll be gone through Thanksgiving so instead of hanging around River Falls on my lonesome, I decided to give myself a two day vacation up north in Duluth. I'm driving up there on Wednesday morning and hanging out in the city shopping and watching Lake Superior then Charlie Parr plays a show at the Brewhouse that night so I'm super stoked! Thursday morning I'm going to drive up to Two Harbors and the Split Rock Lighthouse to do a bit of hiking, then driving all the way back thursday night! It should be a good little spiritual retreat for myself so I'm super pumped.

I've been working on a million little things that have gotten nowhere and been terrible which is to say I haven't been very productive lately. Just listening to the same songs over and over again, working my way through all five seasons of Farscape, and generally just lazying about. Saturday i did get my ass out of the house and went way out west to Minneapolis to the Local to watch the Ireland v. France game with my buddy Josh and his buddy Joel. Tons of craic, besides the fact Ireland lost! D: still one more chance on Wednesday for them to get back in it and get themselves to the World Cup. Not looking good though. I had a lot of fun at the pub cuz the place was packed and it was sooooo nice to talk smack and shop with others who actually know what I'm talking about!
