Decisions, Decisions.

A-Day is this weekend at the university I attend. This was news to me earlier this week, and I accredited my lack of knowledge to being a grad student... until the Republican pointed out that if I were at grad school at Auburn I would not only know about A-Day but would be making plans for it already.

I didn't put much more thought into it because I'm not a Bama fan, and--hello-- it's a Bama scrimmage game. But then my friend Katie asked me if I was going. And then my friend Tyler asked me if I was going.

Now, I'm not an obnoxious Auburn fan, and I don't hate Alabama. I just don't get excited about Alabama football. (I know, I know, my family reading this is thinking, "She was raised better.") So now I'm faced with this dilemma: I could go to Tuscaloosa Friday after work, fight the traffic and the crowds and the parking hassle to watch a team I don't love BUT get to socialize and spread my little Tuscaloosa wings... OR stay home and hang out with my usual clique, happily in my comfort zone.

My other decision is a little further down the road, in the form of music festival in the Tennessee countryside. Trey called yesterday and said simply, "Let's go to Bonnaroo." I hesitated at first, a million excuses flying through my head (money, classes, etc). But then I looked at the line up... Oh, the line up:
Dave Matthews
Kings of Leon
Conan O'Brien
Weezer
Jay-Z
Stevie Wonder
Tenacious D
The Flaming Lips
Norah Jones
Regina Spektor
Steve Martin (yep, THE Steve Martin)
And more...
SO... 4 days of no bathing and sleeping on the ground in exchange for musical bliss and incredible memories with my best friends...? I'm thinking yes.
