The memory of my second year undergrad is pretty much a haze of smoke, so I feel you on that one. They were amazing times. But then, not having assured that I'd get no sleep, lose my appetite, and generally be searching for it until I had some. It ended up in a crazy panic attack follow by a year of anxiety, paranoia, and doubt. I don't intend to sound like an anti-drug PSA or anything. I mean, I still smoke it now, sometimes copiously, it's great.

What i'm saying is that it's easy to say that you're 'getting baked too much' or your 'being smart' about it, but sometimes you don't fully realise until you're in too deep. Just a friendly word of advice. Be mindful. It's a much more enjoyable drug when enjoyed in moderation. I probably smoke a few days every fortnight now. You're smarter than I was, so I'm sure it's all good.

Just googled 'GovBall' and it looks pretty sweet. Kb mentioned mobile apps. There's plenty of free tools out there you can get for touch screen devices to have a play around with electronic music stsuff. Might be a nice way to experiment whilst you're waiting for the $.

You're absolutely right about not realizing until I'm in too deep. It's what I'm trying to avoid now, while 'being smart' may not be the right word I'm at least not being 'completely utterly stupid,' but if I don't watch it I could easily fall to that level as well. Since this is my first time experiencing this sorta thing, I'll figure out how to handle it and I think I'll be fine. You're right though, I used to space it out a month at a time and every time was epic and memorable.. at this point it's kinda just alright. Hm.

just for context, Governor's Ball is the major music festival on the East coast, relative to Bonnaroo or Lalapalooza in the Midwest and Coachella on the West coast. now i gotta learn how to save money!
