[Dr. Nick] hello everybody! [/Dr. Nick]
that sounds remarkably chipper, but for someone that just spent the entire day doing nothing but watching tv and reading a random book about gambling MIT students, I am kinda bushed. but I suppose that's what I get for going out Friday night, then getting up at 9 yesterday and staying up late last night watching SNL and old X-Files. anyways, since I updated, not a whole not of new things happening. Just more work and more school-related work. Well, except for the fun parts. :)
Last weekend I went to homecoming with Allison, fellow Dartmouth class of 2001, and we had a blast. we also ran ourselves to exhaustion by staying up both weekend nights until 3am. so, apparently we can't party like rock stars so much anymore. ;) On that Friday, I went to a preseason Celtics game, which was fun. I had never been to a pro bball game of any kind, so it was interesting to see it from that side. Now I just want to go to a Bruins game! Saturday was when Allison and I were heading up to Dartmouth, so she came up from NYC on Friday night and stayed over and then we drove up to Hanover the next morning. We got there, hung out with some alums and radio people we knew, watching the homecoming football game (we won!), went to an exhibition hockey game that night (we lost :( and then went out to a par-tay or two. The young alum association was nice enough to put on a little party for all of us, alcohol included! There's nothing that'll make you feel old more quickly that realizing that you're drinking beer in the library. ;) We went back down to NH on Sunday, and then I had my orchestra concert later in the day (while I was still pretty exhausted - not the best state of affairs). Then I finished my problem set and dropped it off for my prof, and watched Alias (kickass!).
I think today was all about recovering from this past week! (not to mention yesterday...) Monday I had rehersal, Tuesday I had class and stayed at the library until late to finish my lab, Wednesday I had an event at the science museum, Thursday I worked late and then drove out to meet some friends for some Halloween entertainment (awesome stuff!), and then Friday night I worked until 8:30 and went out after for Mexican and margaritas. yum...hadn't had Mexican in a while. I went out with my coworker and two of her friends who I had heard all about but had never met. They were really nice guys. One of them, I think his favorite movie is Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and you just gotta respect that. :) Although we did all miss it when Eric Idle was in town a couple of weeks ago to give a show. Anyways, I just have to say that yesterday was great because I got to see Dartmouth play another football game, and we won! They were in town to play at Harvard (safety school! safety school!), who was ranked 16th and (ahem) undefeated. And what did we do? WE BEAT THEM!! Truly one of the greatest victories in Dartmouth sports. and I was on TV. :) ok, it was only in the greater NYC area (the game was on the Yankees channel), but it was cool nonetheless. I got a call from one of my friends that lives there telling me that she saw me while she was watching the game. as long as it doesn't count against my 15 minutes... ;)
argh...back to the problem set. or maybe sleep. hmm...decisions, decisions.
