too much- but worth it

Friday night was my low-key night. It involved happy hour as usual. Followed by big slice pizza and Crema Lita ice-cream. I was home by 8:30. I had planned to do some school work. I read a little, but mostly I watched bad Friday night TV. I miss TGIF days on ABC. I was asleep at an alarmingly early time on a Friday night. But I had work at 9am the next morning.
Saturday I worked from 9-1. By 2 I was in the computer lab to work on a paper due Monday. I took a break at 3:30 to go home and watch the UT/Tech game. By halftime, it was clear Texas was going to win so I decided to use my time wisely and headed back to the computer lab for more paper writing. Luckily I was able to check the score of the game via ESPN Live online. After I had made sufficient, though perhaps not quality, progress on my paper I decided to quit for the day. I headed back to my room to get ready for a night out.
I went out with my suitemate to a going away party for her British friend. We quickly changed plans to travel to the lower eastside via subway when we saw the pouring rain. Instead we took a taxi. It cost 10 times the amount we would have paid taking the subway.
First it was drinks in a bar, then to sing karaoke. It was a lot of fun. 4 o'clock in the morning fun. I do love me some karaoke. Especially when I get to sing my classic, I will survive. I also sang These boots were made for walking. An appropriate song given my cowboy boots- again worn with a skirt. Many more songs were sang until the wee hours of this morning.
Surprisingly I woke up relatively early. I knew I had a lot of work to do. Today was filled with reading, writing and laundry. I also had a study group and a group project meeting about a presentation for tomorrow's class. I'm exhausted. But if I can just make it through tomorrow evening, then I can finally take time to rest. At least for one day. Then it will be time to gear up for midterms. But don't worry. I still plan to have a little bit of fun next weekend. Who says school is all about the classes?
