--- title: "Interesting Weekend" description: "Discovering Ron Pope, party games, watching a Bill Gates documentary, and ordering books." date: "2019-10-27" --- It's Sunday, 10 PM, and I sat down to write this post. This weekend passed so quickly. I don't remember anything from Friday to be honest — nothing really happened. Saturday was quite interesting: I was working, dealing with documents, and also did some house chores like vacuuming, cleaning dishes, and taking out the trash. I started listening to Ron Pope, especially *Bitterness or Sympathy* and *One Grain of the Sand*. When I was in 4th grade I heard *A Drop in the Ocean* and really liked it, and this week while I was studying with Spotify in the background, those songs came on. I'm glad that happened. Thanks to Spotify's auto-play, I also discovered the AJR band a few years ago — and by the way, they dropped a new single this week: *Dear Winter 2.0*. In the evening I had a party at my friend's house. We chatted, played some party games like spin the bottle and never have I ever. We also managed to dance what we call in Poland "Belgian dance." It was quite challenging because we did it in a very small room, but it was fun. Today I was also working, and had a small chat with my coworker about deadlines. I watched one part of a documentary about Bill Gates and it motivated me to start reading books again. So I ordered *A Brief History of Time* by Stephen Hawking and *The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F\*ck*. I also watched *17 Again* — loved it. I love stupid comedies. So I watched another one: *American Pie 2*. Also great. Fun fact: I've never actually watched the original *American Pie*, so I'll have to fix that soon. The upcoming week is going to be a piece of work. I have a few exams and I have to retake a Physics test and a recent Spanish pop quiz — both of which I failed. But I'll worry about that later. To summarize: I'm happy and a little tired. That's it for now.
