Cinco de Mayo

Yesterday was an amazing day despite being fairly sure I failed my organic chemistry test. I spent the morning listening to Gwar watching black widows hunt. Then I caught the bus to Chapel Hill Mall and commenced the adventure of finding my way to Alan's House, and I did not even get lost... for long. It felt wonderful to walk in the beautiful sunshine and noticed so much that you miss in a car, new flowers and birdsong. I am amazed at how disconnected technology makes us from the real world and have resolved to find the time to utilize less lazy avenues of travel.

The Oira Morin gang and I sparred a little in the afternoon. I did some arching and remembered that you must arch your wrist to prevent getting hit in the arm by the string... After about 6 times and the hugest, prettiest bruise I have had in a long time I realized it anyway. And then I managed to twist and fall on my kneecap in such a way that it is swollen and complaining today but I think it is simply imflamed and should heal. I still won that fight though. =)

On to the main course, we went to see my Dad's band, New Moon Express, play in what will hopefully become a friday night ritual. It was an amazing time as usual with great music, great friends, and my Brandon. In between sets we went and walked along the river under the night sky and fell for each other further. Today I have an empty spot on my finger where a ring used to lay and a warm black arm band on my wrist that reminds me of my dear pirate like a gentle hand holding mine. He is wonderful and even put up admirably with the taunts of "touch her and I will kill you" from the Avalonians. Though he did comment on not realizing just how large my dad was until this evening. *smirk*

So that was my Cinco de Mayo. Quite a pleasant day over all. Too bad it had to be followed by such a washed out and mediocre Saturday. The morning started off well enough but was cold and that always leaves me in slow motion. We had so many staff in today that it gave us the opportunity to simply watch training which is great but drags on you after awhile. Add to that the fact that I ran out of Advair and had to use my rescue inhaler today and I am left dizzy and nauseous and generally feeling hideously.

I came home and ought to have studied but fairly passed out instead. Ah well, I still have plenty of time to ready for my finals. I am not in the least worried about them. Did I mention I got an A+ in evolution? It feels good to do so well again, it has been too long.

Well Saturday night live is dieing off for the evening and it is time for me to do the same. I must bid you adieu and hope that tomorrow fairs better then this.
