school starts!!!

so school has finally started and i am still getting used to homework and NO sleep.  i have never had a full load of school hours and an almost full time job before and it is no easy task.  the only good thing to this is that i do feel more energized and i love the feeling of money in my wallet. the majority of my classes are a lot of fun and for the first time in a long time i actually like going to most of them.  i am taking a printmaking class and all i have to say is that i cant wait to get started on all the fun new things that i can do.  there are a lot of large scary machines in the classroom but as my teacher told me yesterday  "don't worry allison....we wont leave YOU alone with the machines....we know how you tend to hurt yourself" that sort of made me feel better but not really.  anyway i am also taking a shakespeare class and i LOVE it.  i am almost done with taming of the shrew (which always makes me think of my sister and her friends) and it has quickly become my new favorite shakespeare play.  then the ultimate class RENAISSANCE HISTORY  i know i sound like a complete dork but laura will back me up on this one.....it is so much fun to learn about all of the beautiful paintings.....and the medici's for laura.  anyway i think this will be a good semester if it does not kill me first.  

TOM PETTY

so my friend and i went to the tom petty concert last night and it was AMAZING!! tom was definitely on top of his game last night and i know that it was because mar and i were there.  the only down side to our night was after the concert when we went out to downtown st. charles.  let me just give you all fair warning.....i have NEVER been to a place where soo many girls actually wanted to provoke a fight with complete strangers.  they were all lucky because i had just seen my long lost love tom before hand so non of them were hurt.  but they could have been for the shit that they were pulling on my and my friends.  anyway end note.......TOM PETTY is awesome

sigh of relief

so my new roommate has moved in and i have never seen the place cleaner.  it took us a good six hours just to clean the old roommates room before we could move our new one in.  just to let you know that the job was not one for the faint of heart.  i felt so bad for brando's (the new roommate) mom, she was the one who was doing most of the cleaning.  anyway im gonna try to get some pictures of the new and improved apt. up here soon so you all can see how wonderful it looks.  we bought some great things and it really has never looked better.
