So, while I got off on exactly the right foot during the first week of school, the second week has already become rockier than I would've liked. I had a pretty piss-poor Tuesday and Wednesday, academically speaking, as I didn't end up going to 2 classes, but I made up for it today, and have things all prepared to have an awesome day tomorrow.
The best part of the week, however, has to have been last night. I was told to go meet up with some friends, as one of them turned 24 yesterday, and wanted me to come out and get a drink. I was sort of tired, and didn't particularly feel like going out or putting pants on again, but I went anyway, and it ended up being incredible. All of the folks normally associated with this group of friends dance together, both locally and as a part of the University Ballroom dance team. Well, they decided to bring out a new girl last night, whom I had never met. She was rather...sullen for the early part of the evening, and one of my friends informed me that "[I] need to make "Ellen" laugh. Her friend just passed away of cancer, and she's having a rough night." Soooo the gloves came off, and I gave "Ellen" one of my better performances, as well as having a great time conversing and swapping stories with the birthday girl, some of my other friends, and at least one complete stranger. The night cost me $20, but I got my money's worth one-hundred times over knowing that "Ellen" walked away with her sides hurting from laughing so much, instead of spending her night crying. Lord knows, there's time to cry, but that time was not last night.
