Hey! Wasn't it just 65 degrees?!

...and now it's snowing. We're supposed to get two inches tonight. I guess this is the official "Emily, wake up, spring break is almost over" warning from mother nature. I'll take it. I enjoyed the break, and I'm trying to savor my last few days. I tried to go to Conan today, but alas, I was turned away. They hand out standby tickets at 9am, so I got there at 7 and pretty much just sat there for 2 hours, receiving ticket number 21. I had to go back to 30 Rock at 3:45 and I waited around for a few hours, waiting to get in...they let 17 people in, so I was close, but not close enough. Oh well. They play it on TV. It would have been fun to go (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss was the main guest), but there will be other times, I'm sure.

I'm planning on going to SNL this weekend. I've missed it! I haven't been to a show since the beginning of February (Drew Barrymore/Lilly Allen). I'm pretty psyched about the line-up this week, too; Julia Louis-Dreyfuss/Snow Patrol. I might try to get there really early, since I'm not really doing anything...but then again, it is supposed to snow. :( I'll have to play this one by ear.

My improv class on Tuesday was really fun! I like the other students and I really love my teacher. There are 15 people in the class, mostly 20-somethings, and I sort of get the feel that most people are familiar with improv but have not done it extensively, especially not longform. We didn't do any exercises that I was unfamiliar with, but I had a good time and I know I'm going to obviously look forward to this class. Plus, I got a student pass that will let me into any improv show at UCB on weeknights for free! Basically...I'll be spending even MORE time at that theater. There's nothing wrong with that, right?! :)

Since my summer plans are coming together (paid internship at Stevie Ray's), I feel like I can relax a little bit and start to plan for the Chicago Improv Festival. I don't feel so bad spending money for that now that I know I'll have a good, solid, enjoyable and informative job for the summer.

I need to take a nap. I was up WAY to early this morning for Conan and I'm going to a show later tonight (UCB, obviously). I can do stuff like this because it's still spring break for a few more days.
