Hmph

It irks me that there's a total disconnect between two of my circles of friends. I totally can't invite people from both groups to do something together. People suck. D: Guess there's nothing else to do but to run off to Japan again. I'm turning in my application on Monday. Better late than never, I guess. I decided that a year in Japan is not the thing for me, but a summer would be good. Gotta find myself a job and start thinking about grad school. I'm feeling kind of burned out on the whole school thing, but I honestly can't get much accomplished without a Master's degree. Maybe a year or two of working in the real world will help with that?

I've been feeling really upset and anxious lately, mostly about my future. The MIT-Japan retreat this weekend made me feel better though. There's a lot of cool people going to Japan this year - hopefully they'll be a bit more talkative/social than last year's interns. Beh, I just have to buckle down and figure out how to graduate and find a job and stuff. FUN TIMES.

I really can't wait to get my laptop back. I've been totally DDR-deprived all IAP, and it's making me restless. I was desperate enough to drop by the student center yesterday, but of course the machine there was being used. When is it not? I guess other people have the capability to run DDR on their own machines now, but I hate to beg. Heh, I'm so bad at asking people for things. XD And it's not that I'm addicted or anything - DDR is something that I really enjoy doing, and I miss it. I was just thinking, endurance has been an issue for me with DDR. If I took up jogging or something to work on endurance, I wonder if that would help... Not that I'm a total DDR freak, but I could use the exercise. I'm just not sure where to start.

I worry too much.

She's Done it Again!

Wow, look at that, it's 2006 already. Had an enjoyable winter break... well, except for the traumatic snowboarding episode, but let's not go into that, hm? Guess what I did tonight? I went clubbing at Avalon again!

Tonight Above and Beyond were in town, and since I'm a big fan of their songs, I thought I'd go check it out. Couldn't get anyone to go along with me besides Vivian... Everyone else missed out. Oh man, it was such a great show!

I'm debating whether tonight's show was better than Armin van Buuren. They were both good in their own ways. Tonight's track selection was amazing - we started with Air for Life right off the bat (whee!), and I recognized several Above and Beyond tracks, as well as something that was probably from Armin van Buuren, and Tiesto's Adagio for Strings (why does everyone feel the need to play Tiesto, why why why? D:). I also recognized a few other songs, but I couldn't place 'em. That's what comes of listening to too much trance, I suppose.

Armin van Buuren was better with the crowd... He was also prettier to look at too. XD But tonight, I felt like I'd found my own little piece of heaven. It was that good. Now I'm wondering what Avalon's next trance act is going to be. I sure hope it's good, because I'm really looking forward to it.

The biggest plus for tonight was that there weren't very many sketchy guys. It was also nice that the weather was good and it wasn't pouring buckets of rain. Good times, good times.

Current song: Andy Moor - Air for Life (Whoohoo! :D)... and then it switches to Tiesto's Dallas 4 PM which I absolutely despise. Whyyyyy?
