long long long long time no update
Oct. 16th, 2024 12:13 pmAt the end of July we went to the Hozier concert in Pittsburgh and I kept being like "I need to write a post about that" and then.... not doing it. but then didn't want to write some other post before that one, and then I just fell into a hole of never posting anything at all.
Well I'm at work and I'm bored so what better time than now.
The Hozier concert was fun, there, that's that whole update. It was nice, we got to go for free and had decent seats. And then the two tallest women on Earth came and sat in front of us, but we could more or less see. It was nice and cute, he played more than one of my faves, and his opening act was really good!
Toward the end he gave a speech about the effectiveness of protesting and went on to talk about how Palestine should be free and that what's happening there is a genocide, and a couple people near us left!!! It's possible, I guess, that they left because it was toward the end and they wanted to beat leaving traffic (a good idea, it took us over an hour just to get out of the lot alone) or if they were offended by his message. It's insane to imagine the second option bc so many of his songs are so political and about like, the ravages of colonialism lol like ???? what did you expect him to say?
The concert was fun. I finished my summer class in August and managed to pull off an A even with my miserable midterm grade lol. Idk what else has happened since then which is why it's not smart to take 2 and a half months away from posting here. Started my fall semester, phonetics and computational linguistics & I'm really liking both! The semester is rocketing past, I already had a midterm last week. I did the math and I think I'm graduating in the spring!! THANK GOD.
Speaking of math though, I got an update on the public service loan forgiveness thing I applied for a while ago! I've made 89/120 qualifying payments & I'm set up to have like 30k of loans forgiven in 2027! I'll keep working at this freakin job until then, that's only 2 more years! I feel like I'd be an idiot not to.
We went to see Terrifier 3 at Row House this past weekend. It was good, gory and nasty of course but still good and entertaining. I liked 2 better, overall, but it was still a fun time.
Then last night we went to a bad movie bingo event at a social hall and bar & it was also good! Not the movie, of course, but it was a fun event too. I had a yummy apple cider mimosa that was delicious. About 20 minutes into the movie the guy dropped the laptop playing it and broke it lmao it was tragic. There was a long scramble of them trying to fix it & I felt so bad. I was like I just know in my heart this guy is the sweatiest he's ever been. We declared among us that we would give up and leave at 9:15 & wouldn't you know he got it up and running at exactly 9:15. We stayed and it was fun (I won a tshirt!) but we were all also a little like "yay......." when it got up and running lol. we all just like going and being at home ok.......
