i'll be alright without you

working the trans siberian orchestra concert last night at the qwest center was awesome, if only because of the few minutes i got to watch the concert. the finale no less. they played carol of the bells (sorry, brian...i can't spell the REAL name of the song) and went to town with it. lots of fun. i think it would be a blast to get tickets for next year.

i got into bed around 11:30ish and as i was falling asleep at 11:45, what happens? well, of course the fire alarm goes off. what else would happen here in mcgloin? yes, that's right...fire alarm number eight...in a little over three months. oh yea, and they've all been false alarms. i didn't go out for it, but despite that, i still wasn't able to fall asleep until close to 1. argh. i was definitely angry. and incrediby tired this morning before, during, and after my biology test (which kicked the crap out of me). i don't want to see the answer key when he puts it up. i think instead of waiting anxiously to see it, i will instead take a nap and check them when i get back from weights.

work was long and tedious, but i got a lot done and i got an email from fr. bucko asking for permission to post my paper on our class website deal because i got the top grade on it...that was a good confidence boost. i also got paid last week, so that's good especially since it seems i will have to cancel my shoe order with lara/adidas and buy my own while i'm home this week. i don't really want to since the discount is so big, but its been almost three months since i ordered them. it's getting to be a bit ridiculous now. we'll see what she says when i talk to her tomorrow or wednesday.

and while i was at work, i saw adam (hamilton) walking down the hall somewhat aimlessly. so i stopped and talked to him for a minute. sometimes he really surprises me. or maybe i should have just given him a chance when i first met him and i wouldn't be surprised when he's nice and things that are incredibly helpful. i will definitely take his advice to heart. he's a good guy.

the forecast for denver is supposed to be 60's all the way through the week, which makes me incredibly happy because that would be perfect for golfing and would be warm enough in town for it to be a great temperature up in the mountains. i think we might be skiing/snowboarding on thursday, but i'm not sure since thanksgiving dinner has to be somewhat early because jill has to work at the hospital that night (blegh). we'll see though.

i talked to brian twice last night. the first time he called me to see if i had his rent cds and the second time he called me for the same thing, except this time he was drunk and it was midnight. after i told him i was in bed, we proceeded to talk for another 20 minutes. oops. but he did tell me about the "drinksgiving" get together that will be taking place at his house while i'm home. i'm definitely looking forward to that, especially since john will be home for the first time since june when he left for pittsburgh. i can't wait to see him again. it should be fun.

and, the most exciting thing...

24 hours, 50 minutes, and 39 seconds until i'm on my way back home.

i wish i could convince myself that it is true.
