So Friday was Warped and it was awesome. I met The Academy Is in one of those signing things and also ran into Michael Guy Chislett (of the aforementioned band) and got a picture with him and a hug. I will do a more in-depth post later about it for anyone who cares with pictures, but I haven't had time to upload them and write anything up. Saturday morning I had a staff meeting at 9 AM which sucked because I was ridiculously exhausted from the concert, and then I had to work from 3-9. I actually didn't do any cleaning this time (except for a little around concessions) which was awesome. I did concessions and box office at the very end of the night. And I saw Daniel Jenkins! That was fun. But I didn't have time to talk to him because he came during a rush, and also, we're not supposed to have friends come visit during our shifts.

I've also spent the past couple days, when I haven't been at concerts and work, watching Greek. I'm so addicted to this show, it's ridiculous. I can't believe that it's actually good! Cappie is my absolute favorite. I'll write a longer post about the show probably when I've finished it (I'm on episode like... 15 or 16?) later, but I thought I'd mention that.

Anyways, today I'm working from 10 AM to 6 PM which sucks because I feel like I've gotten no sleep the past few days, which isn't entirely true, but yeah. The good news, though, is that after that, I don't work again until Thursday! Three whole days off! Win! Unfortunately on Thursday I'm working from 3-11 which means closing which supposedly sucks, but oh well. I will enjoy my days off, at least. And I should be getting paid on Friday! Yay!

Heh, I totally overheard this conversation at breakfast:

Girl: [talking about English class] Yeah, the professor started the first class with the words "Let's go" on the board, and now the last words of this play we're reading are "Let's go."
Guy: What play?
Girl: Oh, it's this short play about these two guys... what is it called?
Girl 2: [apparently also in class] Waiting for Godot.
Girl: Right! By William Beckett.
Girl 2: Samuel Beckett.
Girl: Oh, right. Why did I think William?

This is only so amusing because that EXACT SAME NAME MIX-UP happened to me last Thursday, as I already mentioned. I don't think this girl was confusing the names because of The Academy Is...'s lead singer, but I still found it amusing.

Meme time! Eight truths, two lies )

Anyways, I still haven't started my English paper (due Thursday), started studying for my Drugs and Society test (Wednesday), or finished studying for the film vocab test (tomorrow!). ugh. So, time to do some work, I suppose.

Ok, so this is only going to be interesting to people who know anything about bandom:

So, I'm reading this article in English, and it mentions Beckett, the author who wrote Waiting for Godot (among other things, but that's where I know him from). It doesn't mention his first name, and for some reason I was trying to remember what his first name was. So I'm like "William! William Beckett!" but then I was like "...ok, that name sounds familiar, but not right." And then further into the article it mentions him again and this time says Samuel Beckett (which, what? Isn't one of the rules of formal writing that the first time you mention a person, you use the first and last name, and then later in the article you can use either, generally the last name? Stupid article). So I was like "Oh, right, of course. So why does William Beckett sound so familiar?" And then I had the realization of where I know that name from, and I was just like [facepalm]. Literally, I facepalmed in class. I'm lucky that we were all supposed to be reading the article so no one was watching me, because I looked kind of ridiculous.

Like, I don't think about bandom very often, I don't post about it very often, but it clearly has made its way into my subconscious. This is also evidenced by the fact that when I hear the name "Spencer," I immediately think of Spencer Smith and not my roommate, who also happens to be named Spencer and who I see every day and speak to on a regular basis and whose name is on our door and so on. ugh.

Anyways, my Film Analysis class was canceled today since the professor is at some thing in Washington from yesterday to Monday, which is awesome. I'm probably only going to use it to play around on LJ and the internet and not actually get work done, but whatever. It's a nice break. And I'm not going to have any breaks for the next few weeks, particularly this weekend (ugh, I'm so looking forward to this weekend being over. It's going to suck so much), so I might as well relax a little now.
