MIDTERMS!

So its midterm time here at UART’s. Its crazy how fast they came, I feel like I’ve barley been here and already my first semester is half way over. My midterms weren’t all that bad, for the most part I did decent and my worst grade was a C. Other than that not to much has been going on, all my teacher’s are still giving me tons of homework so that keeps me pretty busy.

Halloween is right around the corner and I’m so pumped. Furness is doing this decorate your door thing and who’s ever door is the best wins a prize, so far me and my roomates haven’t done anything, but a few kids on our floor did their doors up nice.

Tower Records.

So Tower Records is going out of business, but before they are done they had Valencia play a free show at there store on Broad Street. It was amazing kids, I was so close and they played almost their entire cd including “The Space Between” and “Tenth Street” which is about the tenth street here in philly. Then after they played they signed posters, and talked to all us kids that were there, it was so cool. I love free shows. Also Fred, one of the members from Cute Is What We Aim For was there, so I talked to him for a little, took a picture with him and just hung out.

It was pretty much one of the best nights in the city…well for a weekday at least.

Being Sick Is Lame.

One downside to college life is that when one person gets sick, it is proven fact that everyone else in the school is bound to catch some strand of the virus. I got mine via a roomate that was infected. I’ve had this icky cold thing for like 3 days now, and its just a bunch of sneezing and head ache’s and basic cold stuff. I’ve been keeping up on my fluids and sleep so I’m starting to get better.

Its October now and you would think that means its getting colder when in reality today it was 80 degrees. This wierd temperature is probably not helping my health at all, but I love the warm weather so I’ll take what I can get. Its so weird to me that were already getting close to mid terms. Back in high school mid terms weren’t until December, but I guess thats what happens when you have 2 semesters instead of four terms. You finish thigns alot faster. Its almost like your covering 2 years of high school in one year.

Okay well I really just wanted to vent that I’m sick, and now that I’ve done that I’m gonna bounce. I have Visual Communications in like half an hour so I should probably get over to the Terra Building. PEACE!
