Looong weekends = short weeks :)

My weeks are so short. I absolutely love it. Especially this week, when I didn't have classes on Monday, only two classes today, only one class on Thursday...and, as usual, no class on Friday. It's fantastic. Yay for presidents and their nationally-recognized day!

I spent the first part of my long weekend in Saratoga Springs, NY (specifically Skidmore College) participating in the National College Comedy Festival. It was one ridiculous weekend. There were about 15 college groups there, improv and sketch, and a few profesisonal groups. All in all, it was a good weekend, despite the unnecessary college parties...it just made me realize how much I love NYU. I don't have to go to some random house and be crazy because there's nothing else to do...I go to shows, I experience the city. I love it. I love the non-traditional community of NYU. Not to undermine my experience at Skidmore...it was a change, and I had fun seeing the other groups and performing. We didn't have the best set in the world, but it was still better than most of the other groups, so that felt good. We got good feedback from the professional groups...there were three there, 2 of which are composed entirely of NYU grads...and the other was NYC's Upright Citizens Brigade. New York was really representing, it was cool.

I got back to New York EXHAUSTED on Sunday, in time to take a shower and pick up my friend Alex at the port authorty. She goes to BU, and came into the city for some catching up and ASSSSCAT indulging. I loved seeing her again :). Thankfully, despite the God-awful cold, ASSSSCAT was amazing; Amy Poehler, Seth Meyers, John Lutz, Jack McBrayer...MIRIAM TOLAN AND BRIAN STACK! I adore improv couples. I was very excited, and the show was fabulous. Is it ever not?

I think I'm going to try to go to Conan on Thursday. Might as well, right? I need to go eventually, and I think Jimmy Fallon's on the show on Thursday, and I only have one class...I'll probably be going alone, but I'm still hopeful and excited.

This weekend, I'll actually get to just relax in the city, which will be nice. I liked Dirty South and Skidmore, but that's a lot of traveling to do. Some of my troupe is going to a Harvard comedy festival this weekend, but I think it's okay that I'm going to take it easy and not go. Two out of three weekends is a lot.

I have a History of the Universe (gah!!!) exam tomorrow...too bad I never listen to the lectures because I HATE it and find the information generally irrelevent...oh well. That's college for ya! ;)
