Last weekend I went to my sisters. Got to see my nephew's basketball practice as he has started playing basketball. He needs some work as he is not the most graceful person on the court but he does have some potential. On Sunday night I had planned to go to Scott's(a friend of mine) band's concert. The show was to start at 7pm so William and I left the House around 6:45pm thinking we knew exactly where to go. We quickly get to the place we thought the show was at and realize it is just a bunch of old people there listening to some speaker. So we knew that it wasn't the right place. From there we left and started driving down the road we though it was on and couldn't find it. So finally we called Cathy and she gave us directions which we followed but got us no where. I then decided to stop and ask for directions and the people working the gas station had never even heard of the road I was looking for. So I decided to go back to the House and look it up myself. Finally understanding where the road I was looking for was we headed back out the door. We reached the road and drove down it about 7-8 miles and still could not find the place. So I stopped for directions again and they seemed like they knew where this place was and sent me back in the direction I had just come from. So I drove about 10 miles in that direction still not being able to find the place so finally I called Cathy back and asked for the places address. With the address we were finally able to find the place after over an hour and half of searching (it was 8:30pm). As soon as we pull in William made the comment "People are pulling out". Hoping this was just coincidence, but knowing otherwise, we still parked and walked up to the counter out front and asked the guy working there if the show was over. He said it was and I explained that I knew one of the band members and he let us in since the band members were still there packing up. So after waiting for them to finish packing, Scott walked over to us and apologized for putting the wrong address on their myspace page. He also said they had started at 6pm so even if we had found it right away we wouldn't have seen the whole show. He said that they were setting up another show in December at either Avondale or Tremont(which I have since found out it will be held here). So other than getting to talk to him for a few minutes hour and a half search for the place was basically pointless.
School continues to just flow along and a fairly quick pace. Just signed up for classes for next semester. Weird to think that it was the last time I will sign up for classes. Thanksgiving break is coming up in two weeks and I will be going to Charlotte and having Thanksgiving with my sisters since my parents are going to be in Pennsylvania. Then about two weeks after that the semester is over.
The elections are now over and the democrats have taken over power of the House for the first time in 12 years and it seems they are going to gain power in the Senate as well. Though this is definitely not good news for Bush it does seem from what I am hearing this will actually help him push through his immigration reform of which I am not a big fan of. But, oh well. Also today they announced that Donald Rumsfeld had resigned and was to be replaced by Robert Gates. I doubt many people minded hearing that news, including myself. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out over the next two years.
