Weekend, finally...

Ahhh. I live for the weekends. I really do.

It's been pretty chill the past couple of days. Fridays are my "easy day", meaning only 2 classes and no extra lessons. It was nice to come home, kick back with a glass of wine, and veg in front of the TV for a couple of hours.

I hardly saw Mark at all yesterday, which was a little strange, but not a bad thing. He was busy with class all day, then worked in the evening, then it was Induction night for new members of his fraternity, so they were busy with that, and having fun, until the wee hours of the morning. I stayed home last night with Brianne. We did crossword puzzles together, ha. Yeah, we're dorks. It was fun, though. I went to bed early b/c I had to be up to work at 8 this morning. Ew. Luckily the four hours went by fast. Once I was done Mark took me out for brunch :) Then we came back to my place, took a much-needed nap, had some coffee out on the deck and just talked. It's a beautiful day out. Now he is downstairs, cooking me dinner! What a treat. I usually either cook dinner for him, or we both cook it together, which is fun, but it's nice not to have to do it tonight. Homemade meatloaf and mashed potatoes! He's a keeper, I tell you. It's wonderful having a boyfriend who not only loves to cook, but is good at it.

Tonight we're going to our voice teacher's Recital. It's going to be amazing, and won't hurt for counting towards the 40 concerts I have left to attend before I graduate...hmm. Being a music major, you have to attend a certain number of concerts (60 for B.A's) over your 4 years here. Well, I spent most of Freshman and Sophomore year having too much fun to go to concerts, so now I am left with 40. Sigh. Luckily there is usually a concert or recital of some kind going on every weekend, so I should be able to make it. But it's fun, too. I love music so I can't really complain having to go listen to it for a few hours. After that, a whole bunch of people on our block are having a movie night at the house next door. Complete with homemade Sangria. YUM. Should be fun.

So that's my little recap. Sorry I took yesterday off. I feel better than I did on Thursday, my spirits are a bit higher, and I am less stressed out. The beautiful weather helps, too. Every day is a struggle but some days are better than others. I definitely have today to be thankful for because those days do not come very often.

I hope everyone out there is well. What do you guys do on the weekends most of the time? Party? Study hard? Relax? Chores and errands? If you're like me, it's probably a combination of all. It'd be interesting to know, I always love hearing about the lives of others, so feel free to leave some comments if you'd like. Thanks for checking in :)
