    I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.

    Today was the black power rally. Laura and I opted to go out for an extended lunch in lieu of said assembly. We ended up going to Caribou Coffee and Amer's Mediterranian Deli, both of which were delicious. The most I missed out on was calculus, but I'm sure I'll catch up quickly.

    I had a physical therapy appointment for my back yesterday. I was given a plethora of new stretches to do to help my back.

    Drumline has been every day this week so far except Sunday. It's kept me rather busy. Our show is finally becoming complete, albeit sans closer at the moment. Hopefully we shall pwn on Saturday.

    I have a pair of 4 gauge earrings that I need to put in sometime soon.

    w00t!
