Jun. 29th, 2008 10:14 pmJust got back from seeing Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
Great concert! I was one of the youngest there, which amused me, but which I expected. There was no opening act, which I was fine with, and they opened with Marrakesh Express, which I love. Other songs I love they played were: Love the One You're With, Our House, Southern Cross, the Buffalo Springfield song For What It's Worth, and then they closed with Teach Your Children. They did not play my favorite of theirs--Suite: Judy Blue Eyes--but it was still very enjoyable. I love them. :D
My parents also brought up trying to buy tickets for Ringo Starr in July for Artown. We're not sure if they're sold out, but if they're still available, I'd totally go see him. Though what's sad is that apparently Artown is no longer doing the Rocky Horror Picture Show. *sigh* That was always fun. I miss it.
This afternoon I spent four hours doing math homework. I even found myself wishing the problems involved more math and less explaining the math which is just...omgwtfbbq! One of the reasons I like stats more than other kinds of math is because half of it is writing and explaining. But then, the practice problems in my book keep requiring us to explain what we did as if to a person who has never taken a course in statistics, which half the time includes explanations of everything from mean and standard deviation to independent means t-tests. Very long, very tedious explanations, required on multiple problems, when even the back of the book just types it all out once and then refers us to that explanation whenever it pops up in another problem. The math is actually more interesting than explaining what it means, which is...rather new to me. :p
