Spring Fest

wow, today was ROCKIN'. i definitely stayed up too late last night, and was surprised at how short my rest was. so i got up at noon, ate lunch, and then went to the spring fest. we walked around on the hot parking lot, enjoying the various stands. i saw dr tkacik and got to meet his wife and little son milo. milo's the cutest little tike (not to be compared with my little brother's of course) and he shook my hand. didn't watch too much of the mud volley ball, because it stank like anything. so instead we climbed a tree and sat in the shade. it was a fine time. then alyssa convinced me to enter the pie eating contest. i've never done this before! it was awesome. and i a buddy of mine named stephen was sitting right beside me (he won the contest). here we are post-feast.

a little later we (at this point "we" = ever, nick, alyssa, jennifer and i) went to the store and then had a picnic under a pavillion by the intramural fields. it wasn't just any picnic. no, it was a "round theme" picnic. we ate sandwiches made with bagels, round meats and round cheeses, cylindrical cans of sprite, donuts, and cookies, all sitting in a circle under a round pavillion.

i forgot to mention that i also had a rehearsal with a euphonium player earlier. yeah.

then this evening i went to hear fonny's graduate recital. alyssa decided to come too, after which she expressed a sense of being "cultured." the recital was fabulous. fonny played the waldstein sonata by beethoven, a piece by ravel (don't remember the name) and a piano arrangment of the nutcracker suite. wonderful stuff. i have nothing more to say about it, since it's way past my bed time. g'nigh!
