+ It seems like every time I go into the city, I fall even more in love with it.

My Historical Arch. class went to the Presidio on a field trip today...checked out the adobes and artifacts, including some slightly broken headstones which I went all :D!!! over. Plus, there was a really cool old-timey milk carton that I was intrigued by.

To top it all off, it was a GORGEOUS day, the bridge practically shone in the sunlight and it was the perfect Bay Area spring weather that I love so much.

+ Where am I going for Spring Break next week? Memphis! Will it all be fun and games? Nope, I'm presenting my paper at the Society for Applied Anthropology conference there and having minor freaks outs about it every so often.

But the good news is once that's over I get to visit Civil War battlefields, eat ribs, and, oh yeah, Graceland!

Then I'm flying into LAX instead of SFO and meeting friends for Disneyland...that park has become our spring break tradition!

Wait, what? Homework, you ask?

Oh yeah. That. :((((

+ Well, I've finally decided on a field school to spend the rest of my financial aid on for this summer. Look, ma! The Carribean!

I mostly picked it cause it was the cheapest and I still have to pay rent.

+ Am I really graduating this May? I can't believe it myself sometimes. I've got my cap and gown and pretty tassel all ready. The drunken revelry is being planned and the announcements are waiting to get sent out.

Meep.

+ I've recced a few more things at the crack broom. Gotta get all of them in before I leave for spring break!

+ MMMmmm. Chocolate.

I've been trying to post about this for a bit now, but I'm on pirated internet at the moment so it's kind of picky as to when it well work for me. That's also the reason I haven't been on AIM much lately.

Anyway! On Thursday I went with Nora to the city to see Cirque du Soleil KOOZA! This trailer gives some idea as to what it looks like but it's no where near the actual awesomeness of the show live. Let's see, wheel of death was one of my favorites and the high wire guys made me so nervous! There was probably the BEST juggling act I've ever seen and some dancing skeletons! The clowns were hilarious and the contortionists were...well, let's just say I didn't know people could bend like that O.o



All in all a fantastic show, I wish it had been longer!

Just got back from the city tonight as well. Went to the Cafe Du Nord because the four of us had a craving for music that was live and NOT hip-hop. I had heard a lot of great things about Cafe Du Nord, so now my recommendation can join the others! I also liked the fact that they played MCR in between bands :3

The place is doubly awesome for this little detail: "...its past life as a notorious speakeasy during Prohibition." (!!!)
