"My head hurts, my feet stink, and I don't love Jesus" -Jimmy Buffett
That's about how I feel right now after last night's festa Brasiliera, organized and hosted by our four Brazilian students. We had dinner at a churrascaria and then moved next door to the adjoining club. I only stayed out until 2 or so (Many of my classmates saw the sun come up, I'm sure.) but I packed a lot of festa into that time. I'm not sure how many caipirinhas I had but, well, it was obviously enough. :-) What a blast, though; I needed that release after the exams!
Now what am I going to do today? Work out, sure, but after that? I don'thave anything to study for and Rice baseball doesn't start its domination of the Aggies until 9 PM (Lausanne time) tonight. Without anyone telling me what to do, I'm almost at a loss--what a great problem to have!

Willpower
I arrived later to Steffen's party last night and stayed longer than anticipated. It was a lot of fun and it seemed like everyone was there. When I'm around many people I really feed off the collective energy and I could feel that starting to happen as we took eastern European shots, drank exotic beers, and talked about things that had nothing to do with school.
Although I took a lot of heat for it, I managed to be strong and extract myself pretty early. I was home before 11 and still accomplished several tasks before crashing early. It was a cold, clear night and the stars/moon were beautiful during the walk to my apartment. I'm glad I stuck to my decision. Now I'm well rested, ready for my workout, and measuring the progress of the sunrise against the mountains and lake outside.
Willpower - just like the 1968 song by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap. I'm almost finished with 1970 now. Since 1967 (my last musical blog), we've seen the rise of Simon & Garfunkel, the Doors, Tommy James & the Shondells, Steppenwolf, Neal Diamond, Three Dog Night, and Creedence Clearwater Revival--what an exciting time for music. The ongoing prominence of groups like The Temptations continues to surprise me (They seem somehow out of place in this era.) but I'm certainly not complaining.
I have updated my February album with additional pics--enjoy!
