So the people around me this week have realized something isn't quite right. I'm really, really edgy. Well, it's because I have a research paper to do, and I hate having research papers hanging over my head. That alone is the kind of thing I can get over once I make some progress, but then the bad news came along and it turns out my grandfather died earlier this week. (Consolation comments aren't necessary.) So that made things worse because I was going to put some effort this weekend into that paper of mine, and then the weekend disappeared since I'd be going to Oklahoma for a funeral. Well, turns out the funeral is on Friday and not Saturday. Even worse. So, really, I had a choice to make:
Go to the funeral and miss the Something Corporate concert, an experience I was really looking forward to as a) a good show b) good bonding time with all these wonderful folks here on campus c) an all-around memorable college experience.
Stay here, work away, see Something Corporate, and probably feel a small pang of guilt for the rest of my life for not having gone to this funeral, this one-time event to pay my final respects to a truly good guy who's going to be missed. That said, my bags are packed and I'm leaving this afternoon. I'll be back here late Friday night. I want to say a big I'm sorry to the people whose heads I've ripped off over the last few days, because chances are you didn't deserve it. (Except Jeff, who tried to grab my manboobies.)
