Slope Day

Well, today was my third and final "Slope Day" as a student. On the final day of classes, the University organizes a big outdoor event on the slope leading down to west campus. There are some freebies, food, and live music. This year The Acceptance, Talib Kweli, and Ben Folds all performed for us.

It was all right. I was out there in the sun for four hours hodge-podging between friends, trying to put on a pretty smile for some pictures, listening to the music, walking around, trying to avoid the drunks and pot-smokers, and stuff. For an hour stretch I was stuck with a friend of mine who was drunk. It was a bit stressful, a bit amusing, and I was much relieved when we found her boyfriend and I could go hang out with some more-sober people.

I'm exhausted... gotta write my thesis one of these days!
