Well today was an interesting day! As I mentioned before I am a HUGE DMB fan. They released their tour dates for summer of 2010 today and I have decided that I have to at least go to 2 of them and that will be VA Beach 7/20 (since I go there every year) and the Washington D.C. 7/23 show. I would also really like to go to either the Deer Creek shows or the West Palm Beach shows but that all depends on how much money I can make before then. IDEALLY I'd LOVE to go to the Gorge shows because Ben Harper is opening those 3 nights but unfortunately that's all the way across the country and I'd have a long way to catch up on my finances for that. It always amazes me how some fans can travel all over the place each summer for multiple shows. I mean I struggle with just the handful of shows I see each year. It was a lot last year because I was making good money at my last job. I felt comfortable spending 500 some dollars on tickets and such. It's quite an expensive passion to have and the tickets only get more expensive... but that won't stop me or others. That's why DMB keeps doing this - for us so we have to support them as well right? I'm hoping I can make lots of new friends at the shows this summer - the folks on Antsmarching.org are pretty cool. You wouldn't believe how many hits that site gets a day and how many threads and posts there are regarding DMB or other topics. It's truly a great interaction among fans.... some people take things a little too seriously and complain about everything (ahem, DMBc) but there's some of us that are just there to have a little fun. I realize I could be a dork for posting to a message board each day but it's a great way to vent or just talk about what's on your mind, a lot like a blog!
Aside from DMB releasing their tour dates I also had Physics in school tonight. I go to class four nights a week for five weeks. This term I have Physics and a Physics lab. Monday and Wednesdays I am there for a small amount of time for the "lab" and Tuesdays and Thursdays we have a long lecture. I felt so dumb tonight because I couldn't follow anything the teacher was saying. I mean people take this subject in High School so I should be able to understand this right? Not so much. Luckily there are some cool people in my class so we are working together. I really need an A so I can bring my GPA up. I have been struggling the last few terms due to all of these math classes. I am glad I am working for this degree though I mean it keeps me focused and helps me not to go crazy when I have nothing to do during the day. The only thing that sucks is being gone all night but I'm afraid to switch to day classes because I am hoping to find that job soon...
Tomorrow I am meeting with career services at my school so that they can talk to me about my resume and possible job opportunities. I really need all the help I can get. There's hardly anything to apply for these days and I've learned that it's not about what you know anymore - it's about WHO you know. So if you're struggling with unemployment like me and haven't realized that then think about that for a while. Maybe that can help!
