It's a Swell Season

So. This weekend was truly amazing. ACL was better than I'd expected because the line-up at first glance didn't seem so great. Turned out to be better than great; it was one of the best musical experiences I've ever encountered. Unfortunately, I'm still recovering from all the walking and sun exposure. I can't believe how tired I still am! Sometimes, I'm such an old lady it worries me. I'm in college, for goodness sake. I should be able to go on few hours of sleep, right? Ah, well. Probably for the best.

Oh, and as for the title of this post, The Swell Season was my favorite band that performed. I was that girl who was in the very front row, completely entranced by their performance. If you've seen the movie Once, you know what I'm talking about. They did that very rare and specific thing that happens to me sometimes when I listen to music; they magically captured all these crazy emotions I feel and neatly put them into beautiful harmonies and poetic lyrics. It was the most unique experience I have felt with music for a long time and I couldn't be more in awe of it.

The only drawback a near-perfect weekend though was coming home. I felt strangely out of place in my self-made haven. It feel so incredibly weird to come back to here after having had such a wonderful time somewhere else. I'm still not used to it, almost three days later. I feel like I'm just visiting my now-home. It's making things more difficult to get back into my old routine. I'm praying it will pass very quickly.

Other than that, just same ole', same ole'. Just, wow, amazing weekend and then having to comeback to tests, papers, and all around craziness. I wish it was time for a vacation. Okay, I'm starting to get distracted. I should get out while the fire's hot. I don't know if that's an actual saying...Kbye.

P.S. I don't know what to say anymore. I'm sorry.
