Hey, marvelous news:
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros released a new album on the 29th called
Here! With it having nine songs, it costs $9.99 on iTunes but Amazon is selling the mp3 for $5.00. Now, I'm a general advocate of tangible items, but I am also unabashedly frugal; perhaps digital purpose will be the way to go. If you're unfamiliar with this 11-piece troubadour, then I suggest you check out their arguably most well-known hit, "Home" that expresses love and nostalgia through folk-driven, instrumental-thumpin' chords and chants. I cannot wait to have my hands (ears?) on their new music!!
With May on its last leg, I guess this means that we are tumbling into summer. I like blogging about what's happened to me from the school
semester because if you've been following this blog you should know by
now that basically all I do is work. As usual, I ended up greasy
and with tired feet, though yesterday I had time to go out to
dinner and a movie (The Avengers, which was actually pretty good) with my friends. I also bought a few herb plants and I can't wait to see how my planting box progresses!
Here are a few photos from the gorgeous last weeks of school. I took higher quality photos with my camera because I had no choice but to shrug off studying and lie beneath the trees to capture the temporary blossoms. And hey, even though I go through cycles of panic and self-doubt with school work, I had
my best semester yet academically (and otherwise)! So it seems
you can take time to stop and smell the flowers and finish what you need to do successfully :D.
Regarding the last photo, I never found out why, but the knitting club went on a
guerrilla knitting spree (at least that's how I like to think of it) and they created public knitting installations all over campus! On bike racks, railings and that
tree, which happened to be fantastic because it made the tree favorable to look at and hug. Random as it was, I hope they do more of that next year!

I love Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes! I haven't heard any of the new album yet though, but I must get on that.
Ah, it looks gorgeous there. The trees are so lovely! And congratulations on a great semester. :) The knitting actually looks so awesome, and you're right, it makes tree hugging even more pleasant!
