They'll name a city after us, then later say it's all our fault

So much good music going around right now. I saw Landon Pigg and A Fine Frenzy last night. They were both great. A Fine Frenzy has such an amazing voice. I didn't like her live version of the Minnow and the Trout or Rangers as much as the recorded versions, but that was just because they were stylistically different. Nonetheless, the power of her voice live is unrivaled. I LOVED the live version of What I Wouldn't Do. She has the incredibly ability to sing softly, almost huskily, and still belt it out. It was an incredible combination. Although Landon Pigg didn't play Can't Let Go, my FAVORITE song, I got to meet him and give him a hug and get a picture and an autograph. I was so excited, I was slightly dumb for a minute but then my words caught up with me and I got to talk to him about Can't Let Go. He said he was considering playing it, and I was considering shouting it out, but neither of us did, so we decided I just have to go to another show of his :)

Today started off pretty crappily. Found out that this extremely annoying kid is going to Salzburg. I wouldn't normally bother me, but my Nikki experience shows me that irritating people in close quarters in foreign countries is hard for me. He'd be in ALL of my classes and on vacations and stuff. So that's something to think about.

Then I called to make my appointment for my wisdom teeth and they didn't have any appointments after Christmas. So I have to get them out the 18th, the day after I fly home. Which means that at the five or so days I normally love most out of the whole year I will be incapacitated. And that I won't get to help Marhein with a really awesome service project. Or possibly get to eat Christmas dinner and more importantly See's candy. But friends have promised lots of movies and Christmas music and frozen yogurt so that should help.

My day got a little better when I went to my meeting with Weisensee. She said my essay was "exemplary analysis" and that this is kind of thinking is exactly what leads to success in upper division classes and I got the highest grade in the class. Which was nice. I seem to do exceptionally on essays and still working out the kinks on what material is most important for exams.

Hopefully I can finish out these last few days until Thanksgiving break with a good jump on things. That would be todschick ;)
