Hip Hip Hooray!

It's Friday!!! And I couldn't be happier. It's been such a busy week with homework, test, work, studying, meetings, events... everything was due at once! I guess that's just giving me a taste of what the "real world" is like. Last night, I went to the Rock for the Children benefit concert. It went really well. The two bands that performed, In House and Magma Bear, were really good. I haven't been to a lot of concerts where there was a live band instead of just performers (singers, rappers, etc). I actually enjoyed it. They were very talented. I also bought a T-shirt to support the Thanda Project. I read a letter that a child in the program wrote about his life and his family situation and it broke my heart. I'm glad that I went and showed support, even if my initial reason was for an assignment. Around $1400 was raised in support of this program. It turned out to be really nice!

I'm ready for the weekend. I'm going out of town tomorrow and won't be back until late tomorrow night or early Sunday morning (depending on how tired I am after the game). I'm going to see my friend, Marcus, in Topeka for a few hours. He is leaving for Iraq soon and I want to say good-bye. Then I am going to stop in Lawrence and see a few more friends then head to Kansas City so I can see my brother's football game. He plays on a minor league football team. I'm excited because I haven't seen most of my friends in Lawrence since April or May. And I haven't seen Marcus for over a year and a half.

Sunday I plan on doing homework and studying so it won't be too exciting but hopefully it will be productive. I'm sure you can already guess what I'll be spending a majority of my time studying. That's right, Spanish. I think it would be a really "pretty" language if I could just get the hang of it. I hear others speaking Spanish, and speaking it well, and I wish I could do it (and actually speak it correctly) but maybe that will come to me later in life. My advice to anyone reading this is to start practicing now!
