Absentia, aka Why This Week Has Been Awesome

So I may have deserted this blog for the week. But I've been very busy. Very, very busy. Being not busy. So I thought instead of imparting any sort of faux wisdom, I would just chronicle the past few days to explain my AWOL behavior.

Monday: I gotta be honest. I think I was just lazy this day. Which doesn't work well for my excuses. I did, however, read a 400 page novel. Which wasn't very good. In fact it was awful. Looking back, Monday was a waste. Damn.

Tuesday: In case you didn't know, Rock Band released the Lady Gaga tracks on this illustrious day. So what's a girl to do? Attend a Rock Band party held by a friend! It was probably the best house party I've ever been to. (note: I've been to about three and one of those was busted by the cops as I was arriving, so I don't know that I have a wide enough sample size.) Anyway, you know those couples that you just want to be around all the time because they are so happy and adorable? And you don't hate them at all because it's completely genuine? Seriously, when E. yelled "This used to be our spoonin' song!" when Lay Down Sally came on, I realized that I needed these people to be my friends. Anyway, the people there that night? Are the BEST people. It was an excellent night. And then I got home at 2 am.

Wednesday: I shouldn't need to tell you that this was St. Patty's Day. So I needed to go celebrate my Irish Heritage. Good news! I no longer have an aversion to Guiness! (I used the scientific method and repeated my tests several times to make sure of my hypothesis.) Bad news! My only Ukrainian friend woke me up at 7:30 am with a text saying "You better be going out today." After I got home at 2 am. Jerk. But don't worry. In between the wake up call and all of those scientific studies, I exercised, had lunch with friends, ate the world's most delicious brownie, had a beautiful reconciliation, went to M.'s apartment in River North for a couple hours, made a bet about the lyrics to the song Edmund Fitzgerald, and ate at Flaco's Tacos. Never let it be said I can't cram a whole week into a day.

Thursday: While Property was a complete bust (I have 10 lines worth of notes), LSBFF and I grabbed lunch and ate in the sunshine in Grant Park. (It's Springtime!) While we were there, two students gave us a survey. They were from Campus Crusade for Christ. The survey was cut noticeably short when they found out I'm Catholic and LSBFF is Muslim. So much for being a witness or whatever it is they were doing. Seriously. Had a picture book lesson in accepting Jesus Christ. At least I wasn't indoors.

And now my friends, IT IS 16 HOURS TO SPRING BREAK! So the neglect may continue. After all, Puerta's has whole pitchers of margaritas.

I never said I was a perfect person. Just having a perfect week.
