Life has been pretty mellow lately. I got to Skype Hannah the other day, which is something I always enjoy. Everyone started arriving home and before Alex (my roommate) got back, we decided to trash her room. Even I was a bit shocked about how far we all took it but it was definitely worth the laugh. I spent about an hour of that night blowing up balloons to fill her room with--Alex has this thing about balloons, she hates them.

We weren't done at this point...
I registered for classes next semester at MSU and have added a second minor to my degree--Journalism. I am now a professional writing major, creative writing minor, and journalism minor. The way I see it, this is me just kicking, screaming, and begging someone to pay me to write something...anything!
Coachella. If you don't know what that is, it's an absolutely huge music festival in California that has been going on for the past few days. YouTube has been streaming the festival live and Will and I have been spending a fair amount of our free time catching some fantastic performances. If you listen to Bon Iver, their set was phenomenal and you should do some digging to see if you can find clips of it. Yesterday, the festival finished up with headlining performances from Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog. I texted Will that the set had started and he immediately told his professor he felt sick, had to go, and then sprinted across campus to watch the set with me. He said it was worth it and I agree.
It's started to get fairly cold at night and a bit chilly during the day. I keep waiting to get some REAL winter weather, though. I want to have to wear my coat to walk across the bridge to class.
I bought my ticket to see Atmosphere and Evidence in Melbourne on May 10th and I couldn't be more excited. I plan to go up on that Thursday and maybe make a long weekend out of it because I don't have class on that Friday.
One of my best friends, Tyler, finished his leg sleeve today by rounding it out with a few hours of work on his knee cap! I'm itching to get tattooed so bad and have come up with heaps of ideas for when I get back. It's driving me crazy!
The stove is broken in our unit. Do you know how hard it is to cook ANYTHING without a stove???
I'd never had hot crossed buns until I came here and they've changed my life.
My friends Brett and Katie are getting married in October and I couldn't be happier for them. Brett has played a role like a mixture of a big brother and a cool uncle to both me and Nathan and I've had some of the best, most deep, and most real conversations with Brett that have helped to shape the way I approach life. I've learned a lot from Brett, cooked a lot with Brett, always felt welcomed in their home, and always valued the time I got to spend with both Brett and Katie. I'm bummed I wasn't in town for the proposal, but am ecstatic that I'll be there for the wedding.
Take care guys. I can't wait to see you.
