Now that the spring semester has come to a close, I have found myself ridden with boredom and an intense desire to fill my calendar with things to do. So far, I've booked tickets to go to the Wendy Williams show next week, I am judging a talent show tomorrow night, and there are a few concerts I'll be going to throughout the month. In the meantime, however, I can't seem to take my mind off two things:
1. My final grades
2. The new Vampire Weekend album!
After four months of feeling my brain ooze from balancing multiple projects, trying to decide which minor to pick (I went with Professional Sales!), and having a slight meltdown, I am absolutely dying to see what I earned as a result of all those hours slaving over my laptop writing paragraph after paragraph. Reflecting on what once appeared to be an un-climbable mountain of work, I now find myself at the peak looking down into an abyss. Some professors take FOREVER to post the letters that could either make or break my "Summer of George" mood!!
One thing I KNOW I can stretch my patience for is the new Vampire Weekend album. It has a set release date (May 14) unlike my grades, and I know I am not going to be disappointed. Studio versions of more than half the tracks are floating around the Internet, and it's taking every iota of my will power to not listen to them all. There's something very special about waiting three years for one of your favorite bands to record a new album-- in turn, the new album should be listened to with fresh ears from start-to-finish the way it was intended to be listened to.
Do I sound dramatic? OF COURSE. But I've waited three years already, I can wait another 8 days.
