The day after Springfest...
...and I'm NOT hungover! :) Ha!
Springfest was absolutely GREAT!! I had SUCH a good time! The day started out by going to lunch with the girls after trying (unsuccessfully!) to get my sister to come up for the weekend, but she had to take placement tests for Madison...sad! It would have been so fun if Katie had been around - yeah for my sister! Anyway...
Post-lunch was a choral union rehearsal for a little bit (oh yay...) but luckily it was only like 15 minutes of my time, so hooray for Maureen lending me her car so I didn't have to use up another 20 minutes going back and forth between Rodman and Johnson. After choral union fun, I went over to Springfest and got to listen to my awesome friend James and his band Union Pulse. They were great! It was funny because he saw me get there, and then he's waving to me and everything, and then between songs he talked to me over the microphone, and was like "Hey everyone, that's Lauren!" It was funny, in a slightly embarassing sort of way. Either way, it was funny. And it was great to see him again and hear his band (I do have their CD!) play because I always kept missing them whenever they were playing around Milwaukee when I was actually home, or they were playing somewhere I couldn't get into (damn being only 20!). So hopefully this summer I can hear them play a whole show. Got to hang out with them a little, but they had to get back on the road, which kinda sucked. Sad!
After the band, it was time to start the festivities. Yeah, that's right, I started drinking at 3:00! In the afternoon! This is completely unlike me! But yeah, it was a blast! After a riveting game of drunken Uno (one that never ended), we were all pretty buzzed, which made things just that much more fun. After dinner, and more drinking, I headed off to Ryan's recital with Matt and Allison (and the buzz made the recital even better, though it was awesome to start with!). Ryan is a jazz pianist, so being buzzed helped make Demmer seem more like a jazz club, hehehe. Either way the concert was great. After the recital, we headed back to Johnson, and headed over to Roadhouse (yeah for food!) and ate and hung out and had a great time, even though we kept the place open a little bit later than they probably wanted, but it was okay, and the food was great. Gotta love Roadhouse! I've ordered out from there a couple times, but I hadn't been there since last semester when Joe & I went between Choraliers gigs. We walked back from Roadhouse, got over to Memorial Lawn to hear the band, but it wasn't that great, however I was detained by a lot of my friends who were a bit under the influence, talked to them, had a great time, hung out, didn't really listen to the band, but eh, whatever. It wasn't a great band like it was my freshman year when Jimmy's Chicken Shack came for Springfest (and I missed it, go figure). So I was kind of "yeah, whatever" about the band.
Went back to my room, hung out, went back to my room around 1:45, did some writing, fell asleep in my clothes, woke up at 3:00, brushed my teeth, put on my PJs, went to bed. About 40 minutes later I woke up for no apparent reason that I could figure out, so I kinda stared at the ceiling and tried to fall back asleep. Until the PHONE rang at 3:45! So after stumbling around my room (it was DARK, i was not drunk...my buzz ended around 11:00!), I located the phone, but there was no one there. I silently cursed whoever was calling me at quarter to four :), and hoped they either wouldn't call back or would call within the next few minutes, when alas, my phone rang again. This time I had it in my hand, so it was no problem answering.
It was the ex, calling to say hi. :) Hi, at 3:45 in the morning? That's kind of a weird time. But oh well, it was nice to talk to him. Definitely not going to deny that one! We talked for like, 15 minutes, but both of us were really tired, so the conversation didn't last long. He asked me to go over to his room, which I said no, because I had to get up this morning and go to church and my room is considerably closer to church, especially at 9:45 in the morning on a Sunday! So then I tried to get him to come over to my room, which he also declined. But I've got a rain check on that, so it's all good.
Anyway...today's fun includes more choral union, except this time it's the concert, and that should take a good three hours or so. Joy. Then I have to finish a paper, and write another one! Yay!!! Wait...no! So today will be a day of homework fun! YEAH! Can't WAIT!!!
Off to do lots of work, or maybe a nap before the concert, not sure! :)
