As you can probably (not) tell from the title of this post, it was a most excellent/interesting weekend. Allow me to explain.
Disney References: Friday night and much of Saturday was spent studying for my Meteo final, which I took Saturday night. Now, as I may (or may not) have mentioned, I am not a fan of the professor/instructor for this class. Within the first few weeks, he put me off by seeming unfriendly and unwilling to accept criticism. He also didn't give great answers to questions when they were asked (he was one of those, "Well, what do YOU think the answer is?" kind of teachers), nor did he do much in the way of feedback. Boo.
Anywhoozles, I started the exam on Saturday night after TONS of studying, and I actually had to give the prof some credit. For one, the exam wasn't nearly as brutal as it could have been (it was cumulative for the whole semester, which made me think it would be the death of me). Many of the questions were very straightforward (whereas questions on weekly quizzes had often been hard to follow or tricky), which was much appreciated. But what really got me was one of the first questions. I forget what the actual question was, but it was related to water, and it essentially asked, "The concept of blahblahblah relates to the idea that ____________." Since all questions were multiple choice, I had 4 answers to pick from. Fortunately, I knew the right answer, so when one of the possible choices was, "All drains lead to the ocean," I actually giggled. All I could think of was Finding Nemo, and that helped me relax for the rest of the exam. I got an A. :-)
Molestaches: Sunday was a lazy day, since it was my first day being done with the semester. I did almost nothing all day. But last night was an event I had been looking forward to for a loooooong time. Yes, my dears, I went to see Bowling For Soup! They. Were. AWESOME! Fortunately for us, Shank Hall is a smaller venue in the Milwaukee area, so it was a relatively small concert. As such, a girl in the audience (near the stage) raised her hand. "Um, we normally don't do Q&A, but what the hell! What's your question?" The girl then asked why the bassist had decided to grow a molestache (aka a mustache that makes one look like a molester).
Now, the poor guy wasn't feeling well. He had almost no voice, but he didn't let it stop him from not only playing, but completely rocking out. Instead of taking the blow of a potentially harsh insult, he actually retorted with, "Maybe you'll find out later." I about pissed myself. LOVED it.
Mexican Wrestlers: On our way home from the show, we went through part of downtown Milwaukee. During this drive, my husband randomly said, "There's a Mexican wrestler over there." I looked out my window and there was a group of 3 people walking, one of which had a Mexican wrestling mask on (along with the standard T-shirt and jeans attire of springtime in Wisconsin). "Huh... So there is!"
Clearly, it was a fantastic weekend. Well, aside from a whole day of studying on Saturday. But still! At least I got an A out of all that studying. Booya!
Also, for those interested, Bowling For Soup was a great show to see. If you get the chance, I encourage you to go! Not only are their songs fun and full of energy, the band members themselves seem to have a great time on stage, which makes it even more fun for everyone involved.
