Wow...i know ive been saying that alot lately, but damn. Things have been so good lately, and some things have been so bad. Its wierd when you actually long for the ho hums of boredom to come around, because you wont ever be suprised. Oh well.

Monday monday monday. What a day. Classes all day, but the day i have been waiting for since i was born has come. I got to go to see "An Acoustic Evening With Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds". Had a fun drive there, had some Skyline for dinner, then got in line. I took my digimatal camera to get pictures for all you folks, and because i heard on www.anyoneseenthebridge.com that people werent getting searched for cameras. I figured, why not take advantadge. We got to the front of the line around 7, show started at 730. Then we get inside...and everyone is practically being strip searched. Metal detectors like in prisons, wands, latex gloves, the whole shebang. So....im like, well....what should i do...and i watched some people get through with cameras, albiet smaller ones, so i figured i was g money(bling bling). At any rate, gary and tiff go through, i see the dude in front of me go through with a camera in his pants over his junk, blamed it on his belt buckle(that one is for you, e.schrades) and i laughed. So i put my cell, pager, keys, wallet, headset, and camera in the basket, figuring they wouldnt see it with the pile of shit i put in there. So, the little j. crew ween who was in charge of the door i was going through, rifled through my stuff, and made a HUGE production about me having a camera. So i said, fine. What do i do? His answer?

Take it out to your car and come back through the line. Now, the line mind you had now circled around the arena. I about spazzed. So, sloka and i trek out there, put it in my car and then wait in line. 715. comes. 720. 730, and we are still nowhere close to the doors. Then, SOMEHOW, 2 more sets of doors open, and aroun d 5,000 angry college students bumrush the arena. So sloka and i try not to get slaughtered by the stampede, end up getting in...WITHOUT GETTING SEARCHED. Grarr. Oh well. Sloka got to our seats and got ready for the wildest concert ive ever seen. Heres the setlist for you guys. Hardcore DMB fans will get why it was so wild.

I cant believe i was there to see the first blue water since 1997. It was so amazing to see a show like this that will probably never happen again. Sloka and i had the best time, and out of 10 DMB shows, this is BY FAR the best one ive been to. The set, the energy, al;skdhf;lakds. So good. Long drive home after that, then to bed.

This morning, fun with meetings again. I got to spend way too much time sitting through and sorting through applications for RCC. Mike, nathan, mark and i ended not going to the senior staff meeting because we needed to get these going. Im starting to get very annoyed with how everything is a huge issue, everything is last minute, everything has to be done now, now, now. I attribute it to poor planning. We have plans in place, then we suddenly have to up and change it at the last minute. Also, getting screamed and swore at is always something that motivates staff, especially when the staff was trying to assist in what the supervisor wanted. Professionalism should have a major part in jobs like this, even if it is a university job. It drives me nuts that people can act this way and its just accepted. Im pretty fired up about this, and it makes me wonder why i work so hard for some things sometimes.

More class this afternoon. Kolla, just something else im looking forward to making my day oh so much better. Then BACK to RCC when i find out i may have to do said interviews tonight. Great. However, katie and i are going to see Sister Hazel later this month and Pat McGee Band is coming to BGSU later this month too, thats gonna be AWESOME. I cant wait.

Oh yah, and according to my degree audit......all of my stipulations for graduation are completed. If by completed they mean almost 44 hours are in progress....(aka this semester and summer semester) But still pretty cool to have it tell me to apply for graduation. Hmmmm...the real world, here i come.

Hope all is well, and jesus, what happened on everyones chatterbox/tagboard last night?
