It's the week before the week before finals, and I'm just about swamped. It looks like this is true for everyone around campus. Projects and papers. Those are the words I hear twenty times a day every day this week. I'm in the same boat, and it's getting kind of stressful but kind of exciting at the same time. I have made it a game with myself to get things done this week so I can go to a concert in Chicago this weekend. The show is Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. I only started listening to them a few days ago, but I can't get enough. The get a lot of their influence from 60's and 70's folk singers and rockers, and it shows. These somewhat hippy-clad musicians are a 10-12 piece band that fills the usually tiny stage they occupy with groovy tunes and moves. Tickets are about $40 (I don't have one yet), and then I must factor in gas money, food, and recreational expenses. Study up and have a hell of a weekend folks. It's gettin' down to the grind!
Cheers
