went to see wolf parade (http://www.myspace.com/wolfparade) last night, they were amazing. they sound much better live than on disc or 'computer' or whatever you kids are calling it these days ! they were supported by another cool band called something frog, i cant remember. the music scene is so good here- so unexpected. ani difranco is playing here in october so im gonna def buy tickets. i dunno if i said already but i already have tickets for KT tunstall and sugarcult. new found glory and hellogoodbye are both playing here but im having to limit myself ! apparently brandnew were here last month. typical !
i am in the union computer room and its so cold, why do they make it so cold ?! im drinking a peachy pineapple smoothie which i paid for with the money on my student card, its like part of the meal plan here, you get $200 on your card to spend on food in any of the places around the uni. they offered to put a "booster" in the smoothie -the options were lik slim down, protein and stuff, these americans will believe anything. as well as the $200 i get 6 meals a week in the uni canteen place, tonight i think im gonna go to a dif one cos theres like 4 or 5 about campus and im getting a bit tired of mrs Es. im not sure if i sed already but this is my time table: monday and wed 1:30 until 2:45 i have film production, monday from 6:30 - 10pm i have the history of american sound film. tuesday and thursday from 8 - 9:15 i have marketing strategy and new product development from 11-12:15. then i have fridays off. im just about to head home now cos im freezing and i have a lot of reading to do tonight, plus an innovation thing to hand in tomorrow.
im gonna help out the study abroad people here by manning a stall for stirling university in a couple of weeks time. i would say its biggest selling point is the fact you dont have to actually do any reading...you can but u dont have to ! also u can drink. so its my birthday on sunday, we are all tailgating the football match on sat and im not sure what the plan for sunday is yet but i reckon picnics and drink should be involved. failing that pizza, you can buy dominoes pizza with your card too !
too cold, have to go, bye x
