let's go to sleep with clearer heads and hearts too big to fit our beds

Not too much as happened but...
Thursday
-Went to Plex for breakfast after picking up new wildcard. They had lids for the take-out cups, which probably made me way more happy than it should have.
-Class, work and volunteering all went by quickly. It was a really nice day which made walking up to the theatre enjoyable.
-Grey's Anatomy was awesome. I'm getting really excited for the finale. Way behind on everything else besides The Office. Will wake up early tomorrow to watch the Brothers & Sisters finale (I'm the only person dorky enough to wake up early to watch a t.v. show)
Friday
-No Italian! And we got a good grade on our video project. 
-Occupied free hour with a Kellogg study, so I don't feel as bad about having to pay to replace the wildcard.
-Work all afternoon. 
-Hinman was overrun by high schoolers about 10 minutes before it closed. Kinda entertaining.
-Read some stats, uploaded some pictures and watched Legally Blonde The Musical
Saturday
-Finally saw The Overwhelming at Next. I was well, overwhelmed, but in a good way. The show has been extended until May 30th so everyone should go see it if they have the chance. 
-Another quiet night. Worked on a story for NBN and then watched Legally Blonde (the movie this time). "Do you think she woke up one morning and said: I think I'll go to law school today."
-I go to sleep earlier on the weekends then I do during the week. Something feels wrong about that. 
Sunday
-Mommy's day. I forgot to send a card earlier in the week so Jr. picked one up for me yesterday to make sure mom would have it on time. Called both her and the grandparents. 
-Krisington entertained me with FMLs while I waited for the bus. I miss her.
-Took the Shop n' Ride to Target and bought a bike (mine is slightly different but I'm too lazy to downstairs and take an actual picture.) 
-Rode back to CRC.
-NBN Entertainment meeting. Three more stories coming up in the next week or so. 
-Won a beach chair at the AMC after reenacting The Wizard of Oz (with some help from Cassi =D)
-Decent showing at Smash Team including a match win.

And a quick poll: yay or nay to the new font? Back to trebuchet or try another?

the memories will wane, the aftershocks remain, you wonder which is worse: the symptom or the cure?

Picking up where we left off...
-Went to Highland Park High with Blake Thursday for the Jersey Boys event. John Michael Dias and Michael Ingersoll gave two really nice talks and it was fun talking with them afterwards.
-Came back to campus for a quick dinner and then it was off to meet Alex for Mary Poppins. I think I enjoyed the show even more this time around. Ashley Brown and Gavin Lee were fabulous. 
-Kinda a blah, stressful weekend. The weather was nice but lots of video editing made it hard to get outside.
-Looked at four apartments on Sunday and agreed to the last one. It's pretty nice, not too expensive and I'll be living with Chris so that's all pretty exciting.
-I'm a new student week chair for next year with Billie and Matt =D Yay CRC
-Tony Award Nominations came out Monday. I'm excited about Next to Normal getting a little but disappointed not to see Aaron Tveit or Stephanie J. Block on the list. Rock of Ages and Shrek beating 9 to 5 for Best Musical is a bit of a head scratcher.  
-Got grades back from last week and they were pretty much backwards from what I expected but whatever.
-Made the worst short film in the history of filmmaking for Italian. Professor seemed to like it though. 
-Taylor Swift has two new videos and they are awesome (but that's to be expected). <3 The Best Day & You Belong With Me <3 
-Somehow misplaced my Wildcard last night after dinner. Tore apart my room trying to find it to no avail. Now I'm out $15 in order to access the meals I've already paid for. At least I found my missing flash drive during the search.
-Cassi organized an awesome fireside last night with a psychologist who talked about "spreading good vibes." First day trying didn't go so well but there's always tomorrow.
-Finally upgraded the software on my iPod so I can have apps. Can already tell I will become even more easily distracted. 
-Watched The Darjeeling Limited with cool people in the screening room.
