The exclamation point really does mean surprise - I have no idea how it is already October. I would like to take this chance to say Happy Birthday to my sister, all the way in Illinois... even though she has to go to class on her birthday, and my fantasy football team will beat hers... at least it will be her birthday!
This week has been a busy busy week. I suppose most of them are, but this one just seemed to fly by. DDF is now in full swing, with the first tournament being 2 weeks from today. My fall concerts are now 17 and 18 days away. Six weeks after that are the winter concerts, as well as exams. It seems very strange. The first quarter of the school year is almost done. It always goes fast, but this seems to have flown by.
However, I realize that I write a lot about school. In theory, I have a life outside of school (that means classes AND Drama, Debate and Forensics). There must be other things that I do...

To be serious though, I'm working on making sure that I have a bit more of a social life this year. I've had awesome dinners already with my friend Kathy. I'm so happy that she's back from Kwethluk (and not just because I get to house-sit for her, and she has satellite tv). Of course, I'm also spending quite a bit of time with Ben, and he's pretty good at forcing me to relax and not be focused on school so much.
Okay, so he takes my computer and phone away sometimes, but it's the thought that counts, right? (He does it in a joking way, and it is a good idea. I think. Sometimes.)
One thing that I guess I didn't realize people did not know is that I do not actually have TV up here in Alaska. There are people who do (of course, Kathy does), but I do not. There are no cable (basic or otherwise) options up here. The only option is satellite TV, which seems rather expensive when I don't really have tons of time to watch it (or keep up on my shows, or anything like that). If there was an option to just have basic cable, I'd definitely do that. However, there's not... but I do have internet at my apartment (clearly, since that's where I update from most of the time) which means that I can watch Hulu, and Netflix, and any other shows that are put up on the internet (like Big Bang Theory). Honestly, the biggest thing is just remembering to watch the shows. That's a project for this weekend. Also, Army Wives Season 5 is now up on Netflix so I have to watch all of that.
Well, that's enough about that. ;-) Time to head off and thoroughly enjoy my Friday night and the rest of my weekend!

Newsflash... GCI offers cable TV.
ReplyDeleteBut, you can still come watch my satellite TV anytime! - Kathy
Really? I'd never heard that (all I'd heard was about satellite). Interesting. I may look into that... at some point.
ReplyDeleteOr just come hang out with you. ;-)
