After class I met my friend for coffee (the usual Thursday ritual, it seems) and, since he hadn't had dinner, we went to a spot downtown where he could eat and I could watch. I conceded to share pie, so we had blueberry pie a la mode, which should have been yummier than it was, but it was still nice to eat pie for (or as a pre-cursor to) dinner.
Essentially I am feeling a little less overwhelmed today. Last evening I ran into my friend on the bus and had a nice little chat on the ride and a small walk around the 'hood, calming me to the point where my stomach wasn't turning and my head stopped pounding. I finished an assignment this morning, have to finish another that is partly done sometime this weekend, and should be able to start another that isn't due for a few weeks. As was (smartly) pointed out to me, I can only do what I can do and so should at least do that. School is the only thing I can control right now, so school will be the focus until all this school crap is finished. Then I can go back to worrying about everything else.
I mean, fine, March has been an especially shitty month. Shit happens.
This weekend I will FINALLY get to see The Shout Out Out Out Out. They're playing a wacked out show at the Columbia (where the HELL is the Columbia?) and tickets are stupidly cheap, even from Ticketmaster. I don't want to jinx it by talking much more about it. I wind up having terrible luck with this band; something always prevents me from seeing them. Not this time, though. This time it's going to happen.
Also got a ticket for Peter Bjorn & John in May. Should be a fab show with a minimal frat boy presence. I'm hoping for zero baseball caps, but perhaps that is too ambitious.
Off to buy groceries. One plus of a non-working house guest is she has time to cook.
