Random Thoughts from a Long Weekend

I actually did quite a few things over the recent three day weekend, especially after leaving work on Saturday.  I watch a stream of a Dave Matthews Band concert Saturday night.  Unfortunately, it was on the west coast, so it wasn't scheduled to start until 11:00 pm, and it started about twenty minutes late.  Anyway, it was just about the first live concert I saw.  Too bad the first two songs weren't favorites.  They were the only ones I got to hear before I went to bed.  Not to sleep, as a light got turned on outside, before I went to sleep.  I don't think I actually fell asleep until about the time the one song I would have actually wanted to hear was performed as the last song in the encore.  On Sunday, I did work for all of my classes, including my first big project.  Along the way, I took a few breaks, watching PGA and NASCAR.  I also played a few games on the computer.  Predominately Candy Crush Saga.  I think I may have finally won the weekend event.  I was in second place or so the last two weekends.  I was actually leading by more than 2,000 points with less than eleven hours to go.  I don't know how I did, yet, but I expect results soon if I won.  On Monday morning, I finally took an online practice GRE test.  I really should have done this sooner, especially since I need to take the actual one in the next month or two.  I did better than the minimum needed for one of my target schools, but not as good as I did on the physical tests that came with the study guide.  It was my first time with an online test.  I did a few other minor things over the weekend:  a quick workout session, a few puzzles, more homework.  I just hope I summited my projects correctly. I think I turned it in correctly, but I still have some doubts about how it was sent.  As a final thought, I recent commercial took aim at the original debut of Crystal Pepsi back in the 90s.  I must say this, it is my second favorite soda of all time.  I used to drink it by the carton, even after the recipe was tweeted. I was overjoyed went Pepsi brought it back for limited runs a few years ago.  Although I don't drink soda as much as I used to, I still love this unique flavor.  Not really citrus, but not really Pepsi either.  As to my favorite soft drink of all time, it has to be cherry-vanilla Dr. Pepper.  While the product is supposedly still being made, I haven't seen it in any store in a 200 mile radius Inver five years.  The only time I have had it is as a fountain drink at Dairy Queen, and that might not be the actual flavor.  If I could just find it again, but I know it should be out there somewhere.
