After a rather hectic week, involving both an interview and
a presentation and all that these entail[1],
I got to have some fun this weekend. I started Saturday with a trip to Arsaga's,
the local coffee shop chain, which was packed with people gearing up for the
game. Then, of course, the game. This I actually watched on TV in the comfort
of air conditioning. In my defense, I spent my four years of undergraduate
spending all day waiting to get into the
game, sitting in the student section for
3 hours before game time, standing the
whole game and then celebrating/complaining
afterward. I deserve my air conditioning and cushioned seat. Anyway, the game was
great and I will definitely get out there at some point this season.
Also on
the agenda this weekend was a trip to Greenhouse Grille with my friend Lauren,
who is also in the program. Greenhouse is a great local place that specializes in
what I call gourmet organic. It’s not as snotty as it sounds; it does hamburger
and fries, just organic. Then we went to TheatreSquared for their first play of
the season, Boeing, Boeing, a 60s comedy.
The theater did a terrific job with it, as they have with everything else of
theirs I’ve seen.
Today, I
hit up the Annual Clothesline Fair in Prairie Grove with another friend from
the program, Megan. The weather felt like fall and its making me excited for
the real fall to come. Summer has just been around too long and I want to start
buying sweaters.[2]
Alright,
that’s it for today. I’ll try to post and tell you a little more about my
interview and presentation. But I thought I’d lead with the fun
