Something Different

So this weekend I did something different. Instead of becoming a hermit and depressing myself, I went out and did things. The whole "let's do something different" started on Friday, the best day to do something different. Instead of going to DW and depressing myself (a common theme with me) I went to see the school's improve group and then went a 80's dance party being sponsored by the radio station. The improv group had it's moments, but a friend of mine was there, so well worth the whole experience. The dance party was like any party: slightly awkward, but for a change of pace, the music was actually really good. Another friend of mine was there as well and we awkwardly danced together, so it was an awkward good time. As I told my mum it was the first time in far too long that I didn't cry when I got back to my room.
[I feel I should point out that I'm suffering through a migraine at the moment, so this isn't going to be best written entry. I have so much caffeine running through me, it's a wonder I can type/think at all. So yeah, apologies for that.]
Saturday night I went to see the orchestra. The acoustics are interesting in Dodd. The orchestra can be heard just fine, but the concert featured soloists, who couldn't be heard as well. Still the concert was excellent and re-realized that I really do like Romantic/Impressionistic composers. I was sitting with some upper class friends of mine when the friend of mine from Friday (whose name is Stephanie and will probably be roomming with next year) came over, with Tom from last year, and we sat together during the second half of the concert. Then the three of us and another friend of Tom's went and got ice cream downtown. It was well fun.
Sunday was the Elizabethan feast. I was worried that the butt muncher (my new nickname for my ex that I came up with this afternoon) was going to be there, so I was a bit nervous about the whole thing. However a friend of mine was there (Ana this time) and I sat with her and her friend and the butt muncher didn't show up so a good time was had by all. Unfortunately I didn't get to stay the whole, what with having two tests today. Both of which went fairly well in my opinion. But Sunday ended up being much better than I thought it was going to be, so yay! For the first time since the semester started I actually had a really good weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to keep this up for the rest of the semester. We shall see.
