I have some time before I go to sleep so I guess I'll go over today in a nutshell and what tomorrow will be like.

SO, today was Vincentian Service Day and I was debating for a month about whether or not I wanted to do it. I had a great experience last year but I knew the people that I was going with and didn't know RHC had a site that they were doing this year, so instead of going and volunteering I stayed in...I know, lame; but it's okay.

I was in my room and I got to think about a lot of stuff...how independence is such a big thing and how in college I'm in this weird mode where I'm still so reliant on my parents I can't really say how much independence I actually have.

I had a dream last night where I put the USB part of my wireless mouse on the back of the mouse and there was a little notch on the USB and the mouse so they could fit together. Before that I had no idea that this could be done. When I woke up I looked and was amazed at how they lined up and when the USB fit in with the mouse it turned off. Now when I'm not using my wireless mouse I can turn it off. I was proud of dreaming that. PS I had a dream the day before last night and it was about me writing a novel that was really epic. I'm really sad I can't remember anything about the novel.

After lunch I went back to my room and purchased the MLB TV function for my PS3 on a monthly subscription. I'm really happy I did because I saw Jeremy Bonderman throw a really good game and Johnny Damon hit a walk-off homerun to win the game. Good choice.

The game ended and by that point it was time to hang out with my friend Kirk, a good friend from the summer going into Freshman year of high school. We have far too many tales to bring the reader up to speed on what our relationship is like but every time we need to hang out it's always hilarious and fun. Today we went downtown and ate Noodles & Co at Millennium Park. We people watched for a while and walked down Michigan to the Apple store. Then we proceeded to head back to his place and sit on his fire escape which faces West with a pretty good view. However, when we got there and looked out to where we'd be sitting, his neighbor who also had access to the fire-escape on the other side, was taking a shower and the open window he was standing in front of highlighted and framed the genital area of the man. It was awkward to say the least knowing we couldn't go out on the fire escape with a man taking a shower right next to us...it was a "had to be there" moment but it was hilarious none the less. For real though, his whole body was covered by a glass window that was blurred except for that completely clear area where it could be opened to lead out onto the fire escape. Imagine about to go out and you're stopped dead in your tracks by a penis on the other side of the fire escape; craziness.

I left Kirk's and went to the UC downtown to be with my peeps down there. We watched The Dark Knight in the Media Room. On my way out I ran into an old friend and we got to talking for a long time, it was nice to see him and meet his friends. I'm hoping we get to chill next weekend or something.

All in all it was a good Saturday, aside from that penis thing.

Tomorrow is all about homework, RHC, and chillaxing before the week starts. I don't know if it'll be tough or not. I'm thinking it will be because I have a Poetry presentation next week that I haven't started on and an Intro to Mass Comm essay due Thursday; we'll see though, I haven't really been challenged yet this quarter, thankfully.
