Update!

Right now I'm keeping Hallway #8 under control during Day 1 of final exams.  Yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  I've got a few labs left to mark, but it's kind of the last thing that I want to do on a Friday afternoon.

Last weekend was fun overall but I did one thing that I have NEVER done in my life: I bailed on a concert.  Eons ago, I bought a ticket to see Florence and the Machine (who I love) with Of Monsters & Men (who I like).  When I bought the ticket, I think I completely forgot how absolutely draining June is.  When the show rolled around last Friday, I had to go home after work to drop off my laptop and work stuff at home.  The idea of taking transit for an hour to a crowded venue with lots of people, sound, and light was so unappealing to me.  I just wanted to sit on my couch and watch baseball.  Mathew was going with a bunch of other friends, so I didn't have to worry about bailing on a friend.  I ended up staying home, and going to bed early.  I regret nothing.  I'll see Florence next time.

On Sunday + Monday, I had two super fun days of baseball.  Sunday was Country Day, so my friends and I arrived early to get our free cheesy plaid baseball caps, and run around the Flight Deck taking pictures with cardboard cowboy cutouts of various players.  The game itself was very close.  The Jays ended up outslugging the Orioles to win.

Monday was my batting practice visit.  It was amazing being on field watching the Jays warm up, although I kind of felt weird gawking and taking photos.  All the others in attendance had brought stuff to get signed (I brought a Sharpie just in case), but I was skeptical that I'd get an autograph.  At the end of practice, only one player came over to sign and guess who that was?  Russell Martin (aka my sports boyfriend).   I got him to sign my hat!

In other exciting news, I managed to score ONE ticket to one of the Tragically Hip shows here in August.  I had tried several times to get 2-3 tickets for myself and friends, but no luck.  On Tuesday, they released more tickets, and I tried for multiple tickets to no avail.  Finally, I decided to just see if I could get one, and I did!  I guess it'll be a lonely show, but I'm glad I'll get to go.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, I pulled some late-night marking marathons.  I'm so glad that I'll get to have a chill weekend now.  I don't have any big plans and I'm glad.  Quality time with sleep + cat is what I need.
