sue me.

it was a quiet weekend for me... hasn't really gotten old for me yet. sure, it would be nice to have a little group to hang out with, but given the circumstances i think i'll manage. campus is a really empty, except for the summer camps for high school students and younger kids. i've been attending a bible study every week, but it's a young adult thing which means a lot of them are quite a bit older than me (i'm a baby adult. =P). i've hung out with the grad student and his friends a couple of times too, but as all of them are grad students they're all older than me too. it's a different crowd, and there's nothing like playing apples to apples to highlight that. classmates are classmates. and as much as i want to i can't really hang out with the kids from bing outside of work.

on top of that, i'll be done with palo alto in a month!

so. i can deal with books, movies, skype and msn for company. =)

over the weekend i watched the ballets sleeping beauty and swan lake. i'd never watched them! i don't really remember what made me want to, but i had a midterm to study for so what better time, right? =P anyway, i enjoyed both of them... the dancing, the costumes, the sets, and the music by tchaikovsky. watching the principal dancer in swan lake perform 32 fouettes en tournant was simply awe-inspiring. made me miss ballet. but not pointe, nope.

and then, since i had so much reading to do before my midterm, i decided to watch disney's sleeping beauty! it was like watching it for the first time... i remember the images from my childhood, but the dialogue never registered. it's amazing how much our cognitive processing changes as we grow older. i also never noticed that some of the music for the cartoon was taken from the ballet!

okay, okay... i know i sound pretty pathetic, talking about my non-existent social life, ballets and cartoons. i'm, uh, growing.

please don't disown me. =(
