Spring Awakening

So Spring Break has been really super so far, except for the fact that I feel sick-ish currently and think I am going to bed early. Yeah. I'm a real party animal.

Friday was cool, spent 90% of my waking time with Boy, which is always welcome. Went to dinner with my parents, which was slightly scary, but it went really well. My dad is probably the funniest person I know, without even trying. Boy & I then saw our common friends Robert and Patrick, which was really fun, especially when Patrick gave me the master of all bear hugs and wouldn't put me down. Hahaha I think he's missed me. They all wanted me to go to Appalachian with them, just to drive, but a) it was rainy/icy and b) I was tired of driving/riding. So yeah.

Saturday was pretty great as well. I got up realllly early to help out/schmooze at dad's Kiwannis pancake breakfast, which has become an annual tradition now. I didn't even get volunteer credit this year, but I got up at 7:30 regardless, so I earned my karmapoints. Talked to a lot of different Hickory elite, including an economics professor (who tried to comfort me by saying 101 was definitely not an easy thing to understand) and my own youth leader, who proceeded to tell me about how great Spring Awakening was (though terribly awkward at some points). Some of my old band friends and I met at Granite Falls quasi-mexican staple Pancho Villa for lunch, which was awesome since I hadn't seen or talked to most of them since at least before Christmas. I was really surprised how much like old times it was--it was both comforting and amusing, since college is supposed to be a huge time of change and whatnot. After talking for 2 hours at Pancho, we decided we needed even more bonding so we agreed to meet at Sonic, then go bowling that night. Yayyy it was amazing. My bowling game--not so much. Here I witnessed 1) Jeremy's break dance moves he picked up from State 2) UNC's victory over Duke (Nick's reaction: "Jordan, I never thought I'd see you this into sports. Wow.") and 3) the lowest bowling score evvvver.

Sunday I went to church, then made a much-needed Target and Best Buy run. Followed this up with some more Jesus timez and then Boy timez. Not terribly exciting, but nice regardless. Cuddling is my favie.

And finally, today was fairly laid back/nice. I slept in for the first time in a while, had lunch with parents, and went to Jay's track meet. EJ met me at the meet which was excellent because I was craving good, sarcastic/intelligent discussion and she's ALWAYS the right person for that. She introduced me to perhaps the most interesting event of the day: The prospect of going to Peru in August to help establish a sustainable community in the Andes. Whoa, right? I could totally change the world. And flex my Spanish skillz. My mom's kind of resistant (meaning "ABSOLUTELY NOT" is her answer), but she'll come around. PERU! Also, saw my lovely friends Mary and Sarah and had a hug fest/ dance party. And now it's sleep timez.

Ohhh, so after watching High Fidelity again Saturday, I decided to make what I am now dubbing my "Audiobiographical Mix", which is basically a mixtape/scrapbook of my entire high school career. I have 84 tracks that were highly influential to my life during those four years. It is without a doubt the coolest thing I've done in a while.
