Only one hour tonight, I was feeling tired and was more than a little sketched out  by Sarah, the self-described manic middle school spanish teacher who came into the studio and sat down because she wasn’t ready to go to bed yet. So we hung out in the station for an hour and she told me stories about being a spanish teacher, running away from home and eloping in Mexico (where she learned the Spanish) and falling off the roof of North Hall when she lived there at the age of 3 (she was also born there apparently).

Definitely one of the stranger nights here at KW. Also, I’ve been informed that the reason none of my electronics are working properly is because Mercury’s in retrograde. Who would’ve figured.
