And the monotony of summer begins...

   I wish I had something interesting to write about.... but I don't. Yesterday, I hung out with Nick. That was fun. We watched Leap Year with his family. I've seen that movie twice and both of those times have been with them. Haha. Today, I woke up, read some of The Lord of the Rings, took a nap, got my teeth cleaned, took another nap, read some more, ate dinner, and took another nap. I've been napping a lot. My sleep debt is finally catching up with me. Tomorrow will be slightly more eventful. I have to go to Champaign in the morning and buy some black shoes for my new job (YAY!). I start Saturday. :) Then I'm going to stage show and will see all of my high school friends!


   So a week ago I went to see Arcade Fire and The National. It was great! We stood in line for an hour outside of the venue (in the rain), then went inside and stood for another hour until the show started. We were probably 8 people back from the stage, so the view was wonderful! Here are some pics of The National:



   Then Arcade Fire came on stage. Their show was awesome! The whole time the members were switching instruments. I'm pretty sure all 8 members played piano at one time, the drum players played guitar, the lead singer played bass, guitar, and piano.... let's just say it was impressive to say the least. Their video effects were super cool as well! After they ended their set, the crowd started singing "Wake Up" to get them to come back for an encore. I loved the whole concert, and I might go as far as saying it was the best one I've ever been to, although it's a close call with the Sufjan Stevens concert I went to back in November. 





So, that's all I have for now. Overall, it's been a boring, yet relaxing day. I hope this weekend will be more eventful!
