cadenzaI spent last weekend at Rapid City, South Dakota, for my cousin's graduation. At which point everyone helpfully asked, "Did you know, you'll be graduating next year?" Yes, thank you for the instant panic attack. I have no idea what I want to do or where I want to go after graduation. I'm too afraid to go to an out-of-state college, but none of the North Dakota colleges are looking terribly appealing right now.
Between last weekend's 'vacation' and my birthday, I have acquired lots of shiny new things! I received the Wicked soundtrack, so of course I had to go out and buy the book (Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West) to read first. Although the musical makes some rather huge changes from the book, the soundtrack is still very enjoyable. It's actually a bit hilarious to listen to; the music goes from insanely cute to dramatically angsty in seconds. The book was also entertaining enough, although I didn't realize it focused so much on Ozian politics.
Other shiny things include: RENT DVD, Corpse Bride soundtrack, Gorillapod, lots of beads, two rocks, and clothes. Also, I bought a new camera! It's the Olympus SP-350, and I love it! It's an 8 megapixel camera, and it has a good macro mode and a bulb mode and you can put lenses on it. Which is pretty good, for a compact camera. And it was cheap, too -- just over $200.
