Papers should just write themselves even if it is just 15 pages.  I just can&#8217;t bring myself to write it.<br \/>\nThe weekend was pretty much calm.  I worked on Race and Racism on Saturday, and that was pretty much it.<br \/>\nFriday, Friday was amazing.  It was fantastic.  I met Dallion and his girl who was really nice.  Oh, and did I mention?  I saw Tori Amos.<br \/>\nThe concert was by far the most memorable.  I was about ten rows from the stage on the far right side.  I was afraid it would be a standing concert, and that I wouldn&#8217;t be able to see because of it, but it wasn&#8217;t.  Everyone stood when she walked on stage, but then sat down when she sat at her piano and started playing &quot;A Sorta Fairytale.&quot;<br \/>\nShe is a goddess.<br \/>\nHer voice sounds exactly the way it does on her cds, and she&#8217;s just an amazing musician.  I loved the way she&#8217;d switch between pianos, or the way she&#8217;d play two at a time.  Her posture, her movements, her singing.  It was just wonderful.  I&#8217;m such a dork.  I cried when she started playing, and tears threatened to spring up again when she played &quot;Precious Things.&quot;  Yes, she played that song.  I was exstatic!  That and &quot;Cornflake Girl,&quot; but nothing compares to &quot;Precious Things.&quot;<br \/>\nOf course, listening to the live album just doesn&#8217;t do it for me anymore.  I&#8217;m amused.<br \/>\nAnd I ended up being $35 poorer after buying the cutest t-shirt.  But, it was so worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spent most of the day studying for DTPA and pretending to write my paper.
