Back from Indiana!

Well I just got back from an awesome weekend at Indiana University visiting a friend with 7 other people! Overall, I had an amazing time there. The drives there and back were a lot more fun than I thought. It was about a 4 to 4 1/2 hour drive each way, and I was one of the drivers, so I was tired as hell arriving and coming back home now. On the way there, we missed like 3 exits because the Computer Unit Navigation & Travel GPS, or the CUNT, fucked up and we didn't see the exits on the road. But it relocated us and we got to IU just fine, but like half an hour later than the other car where the other 4 people were. Basically, our car was 4 guys, 1 car, and a CUNT.

The most fun day had to be Saturday, where we went to my friends' aunt's house about "20 minutes" from IU. Turns out it was an hour away, but still worth the trip. It was out in the middle of nowhere, covered in snow, slush and ice, and as my friend put it, "You could kill someone and dump the body here and no one would find it until the next harvest!" Yet another funny ride there and back. When we did get there though, her family was so welcoming, funny and nice! They gave us lunch there and it was amazing. Ham sandwiches with cheese, beans, and macaroni and cheese! Sure enough, all of us had a very fun time there as well.

We all did go to parties Friday and Saturday, but they were both shitty. The one on Friday ran out of beer and the one on Saturday was bring your own stuff, and I had none to begin with. I don't care for parties to begin with anyway.

There were some bad things too. I was supposed to give my family my grandma's food when I got back to drop and pick up stuff before we left for Indiana, but I left it in my trunk by accident. Luckily the fresh stuff was preserved fine but the leftovers I had went bad. Either way, it ended up fine for the most part. What didn't though was that I had Geography 101 homework that I was supposed to do online and completely forgot about. It was up from Thursday morning to Friday night and I was busy as hell for both days and had no time to do it. Oh well, shit happens. I know I'll probably be getting a C at best in that class but I really don't give a shit. Some people do so bad that they go on academic probation so my GPA won't be completely shitty as long as I do decent in the rest of my classes, which I am. Hopefully I can get my grade in math up a bit. I'm sure I can.

But back to good news, I didn't really spend any money that I made myself in Indiana, just the extra money my dad gave me for food and stuff, so I have $84 combined from what I took to Indiana and what I left home. I can pay for Kreator tickets now! I'm getting Unearth tickets at the last second, hell I don't think I'll end up going to that to begin with. Maybe I could go to University of Illinois (U of I) that weekend... My friend wants my friends and I to go there, so that could work out well. Another college visit I have planned out is University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC) during the week of my spring break. I'm planning on going there the night of Thursday, March 11th and staying there until Sunday morning. Thursday night I'm probably not gonna do shit, just chill with my friend who goes to UIC and my other friend coming up. Friday the 12th though, I'm going to see Kreator! My friend says he can find a way from UIC to the venue which is down the street, probably with public transportation or we all could walk together to the venue just to go around downtown. On Saturday the 13th, we're all going to see Titus Andronicus in a record store in the afternoon. It's a free show so it should be fun. After that, we're going to Kuma's Corner, a metal themed restaurant with awesome burgers! My mom, sister and aunt went there while my other friend and I were at the Dethklok/Mastodon show in October 2009 and they brought me back a burger. It was fucking amazing, I can't wait to actually go there! That's gonna be one hell of a weekend!

Speaking of Mastodon, that's probably the next tickets I'm going to get since I'm very hyped for that show. 18+ and in between my two job training dates, fucking awesome (not being sarcastic). This show is in the middle of May, while Cannibal Corpse, another show I'm planning on going to, is at the end of April, but I'll see what I can do. I just wanna get the Mastodon tickets ahead of time with my friend to be safe.

So overall, I had an amazing time in Indiana. It was nice seeing a good friend, hanging out with other friends, and visiting a new college/state to me. Hopefully we go back at some point in the spring or next year, it'll be fun again! I'm at home now, so I still have to drive back to NIU with my 3 other friends. We're gonna leave in about an hour or so after I eat. Then I'm going to my cousin's birthday party after I drop them off. It's gonna be great, lots of food and a fun time with the family! I'm looking forward to March now, and the rest of spring which brings me new opportunities, more concerts to go to, and hopefully better weather!
