Good News and Bad News (February 20, 2013) in Old OD Entries

So I just got back from class and I am pretty sure that I just made a C on that history midterm...I studied like crazy but that essay really got me. This week has been pretty boring. Me and my roommates were trying to find something to do this weekend and our friend Jared told us about this party on Friday, we decided to go ahead and go because we have nothing better to do this weekend. I really don't know how Jared knows about everything on campus but he does.

What I really want to talk about is the fact that I can't wait for spring break! I miss my family and friends back home so much. I get really jealous of my roommates because they don't live too far away from home so if they want to go back on the weekends they can. I can't do that because I live four fucking hours away and that is a lot of damn gas for just two days. I just don't have the money to drive back and forth all the time. I go months without seeing my friends and family and it really sucks.

On March 1st I get to go home for a week. I am really excited! The thing that I really miss is my mom's cooking. I get tired of eating on and off campus...it's good for a while but then it gets bland. I just want to hurry up and get this week and a half over with.

Oh I got some really good news the other day. My mother called me to let me know that we will be buying a house! For the first time in 10 years since the divorce I will be living in a house! Not an apartment, or a motel, or a duplex, or an RV but a house! I am actually more excited for my mother than anything. When I was younger she used to love gardening, but in the places we lived before she had to give that up. Now she has the space to do what she wants. I won't exactly get to enjoy it that much considering I am in college most of the year, but I am just happy that my mom and sister get to have a space of their own.

My stepdad got a job so we will be having a larger income now...we will be able to afford more things...I am glad for that. This puts less stress on my mother and lets her enjoy things from time to time.

So yea I got some pretty good news. I needed it.

However, I want to rant about something for a minute...

I volunteer at Bonnaroo as a vendor during the summer so I can get in for free and listen to the music and enjoy the festival. I guess you could say I work for music :), however I looked at the line-up for this year and there are few acts that I am excited to see and some of them I don't even know who they are, but that is every year...I maybe like two or three people that are coming and one of those is a comedian...it just disappoints me because I had a blast last year!

Foster the People, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Kooks, and Flogging Molly played and it was just an amazing year! Now not many good artists are going to be there...everyone is freaking out about Paul McCartney but I am not too excited...I was never a Beetles fan...yes I know everyone will be like, "What!" But yea I just think that they are the most over-rated band in the world. Mumford and Sons are gonna be there which is cool as well as The Vaccines...I love them actually and Daniel Tosh is gonna be doing some comedy, that is as good as it gets for me...they said that they are gonna be releasing more people for the line-up but I doubt it will get any better...just a sad day. Eh maybe I shouldn't complain, the festival is fun and the environment is really chill and I always meet really cool people. Hopefully the artists that haven't been announced will relieve me of my disappointment. Who knows I might find some new bands that I like... I hope for the best this year.
