"Looking out for another, anyone will do..."

Good weekend.

Friday night started off with pizza at Erin's and "Down with Love", followed by the always-enjoyable GC&SU jazz band. It seems that there are various groups of people who attend such events, all seeking something different...or fulfilling different roles. Being the first night of Spring Break, the crowd was composed mostly of older community members and faculty. These individuals are staunch supporters of the jazz program because for the span of an hour and a half, they are transported to a former time and place. Large music events also serve as a sort of reunion, ushering in a small handful of former students who stick out in the crowd and bring cheerful memories with them. I suppose that these individuals are also transported to a former time and place, but on a very different level, seeking communion with old friends. The final group is composed of current students. I love seeing these people (especially those involved with the music department) because there is an invisible tie of common interest that binds us...no matter how brief. They come to support and enjoy, giving very little thought to the fact that all too soon, they will be filling the previously mentioned slots. After the concert, Kristin and I came back to an empty dorm hall and proceeded to sing every song we knew...well...almost. Hehe. There was surprisingly little on late-night-TV for a Friday, but the snippets of Conan that I remember were rather entertaining.

I had made plans with Meghan very early in the week to go to "Little Tokyo" (third attempt) for lunch today, merely to find that they are only open for dinner on Saturdays. Soooo, she, Kelli, and I revised our plan and went to the "Goodie Gallery" instead. It is always great getting to know people better, and I really enjoyed having some girl time. I'm going to be in musical mode for weeks now, and I'm searching for "Songs for a New World" and "Wicked" as I type. I later met Daniel and explored Rose Hill in Macon. I never realized how large it is, and I think it will be very cool to go back sometime...I'll have to remember my camera. The night was rounded out with lots of music and just general down time. Hershey Bar Pie is very gooood. Yawn. So sleepy. I think I'm going to watch "Garden State" with Kristin and then fall asleep. I'm thinking of going home tomorrow and then coming back down for a day in the middle of the week for a lunch date with Tammy. The end.
