Ok…. so if you have been keeping up with the countdowns like I have then you know that I had like the crappiest week of school but seriously the best weekend in my short history. Well I mean it rocked at least! We went to the Guns n Roses concert on Thursday and then on Saturday the Route of All Evil tour with Motley Cure and AEROSMITH!!!! Whoo!

So Axel Rose has a psychic and apparently likes to meditate before the show and knows that the vibe is better for the show later in the night….at least this is what I’ve heard from my sources. But in Axel’s world people don’t have to work on a Friday, or in my case drive an hour and a half after the concert, so he didn’t start playing until 11:55….pm…. I’m not really complaining cause well he gets points for showing up and seriously he played for 2 and a half hours (that was awesome) but it was 2:30 in the morning! I don’t see how the vibe was better….. half the people were gone before the show was half over, and those of us who were left were sitting, enjoying the music, but we weren’t too excited or mobile by that time. Good concert, too late. And I know, my very caring oldest brother offered me and my friends a bed/couch/piece of floor but we were all wide awake and all I could think about was my own bed and so we made the drive and ended up in our beds at 5:30…..am.

And then there was Aerosmith! OMG!!! That was awesome! We got there and Motley Crue was already on stage so we got to our seats and rocked out to their show. Then the intermission: we got some drinks and made some friends and I know that I could barely contain myself - I was that excited. and then they started playing! We didn’t sit down once during their entire show! It was that good (and it was still the same day so we weren’t really tired) I called a lot of people and left messages of the concert on their voicemail, I recorded some bits on my phone (you can hear us singing in most of them but they are still great!), and Jodi took some picture (maybe after my exam I’ll finally get around to posting some pictures from the last few months). We had a pretty good time. Tammy’s favorite quote was from someone who won’t be named: “I love 2 bands… Aerosmith and Backstreet Boys!” I personally think that the person who said that showed that they are a well rounded individual who is tolerant of different things and I also think she is pretty! Anyway, after the show, we got ourselves back to the hotel (we did it with class at the Westin) and hung out for a bit before brushing our teeth in the heavenly sink, watching a little heavenly tv, and going to sleep in our heavenly beds! Ahhh…… It was pretty fabulous. All in all: Aerosmith rocks!!!!!

And now back to reality, one more exam and I’m done.

You know when you are baking cookies or making supper or even doing your hair and I’m standing there asking how much longer? Well……

Days until done degree: 6
Days of actual school: 1
Days until Dominican: 47
Days until GnR: like .5
Days until Aerosmith: like 2.5

I’ve set this up so I have at least 47 days of countdowns left however this is going to pretty much be the end of the school countdowns…. it is the end of an era. It’s weird. I have 6 days and 60 multiple choice questions standing in the way of me being finished (knock on wood that I actually pass art history and economics - we could be doing another semester here!). Hmmmmm……. it is a weird feeling. I don’t even know how to put it into words.

So I’ve been staying at my brothers and hanging out with Sparkle and I started to feel bad because those 2 have been blogging everyday and I have barely even had contact with a computer in the past week. I know what your thinking “but Sharyl, we live in the age of technology, how do you avoid computers?” Well…. I lied. I have been hanging out with them a lot, but it’s all word documents and power point with the occasional run in to check my email. But this is the first time I have sat down for some quality time in probably a week. The sad part? Other than school coming to a close I have nothing to write about…… talk to me in a couple days.
