plans for the weekend, already - awesome, or lame?

what i may have forgotten to mention about saturday is, i had a great time with my grandpa. he told some jokes that wouldn't come off well in a blog, we talked about how great my grandma is, it was terrific. i also had a great time with my aunt, but you may have inferred that from the mention of a pool. it was 95 F in boston on saturday, and humid as all get-out. no one had good hair.

so yesterday i spent about 5 hours in the library - my goal was 8, like a job, but i just don't have the attention span for theory that i do for opening cardboard boxes (my real job). speaking of which, i have my orientation today. is it ok to wear jeans if you're already hired? the answer had better be yes, because i think i have one other pair of pants and they are some ratty corduroys i've had for four years. i'll compromise and wear a real shirt, no comic book characters.

yesterday i also bought a ticket to a boat cruise on friday. i debated because of the price - $15 - but ultimately, i figured, i get two drink tickets, two long islands at about $7.50 a pop, that's my money's worth. also, i found out that tickets were $60 for law students. it was never really in doubt that i wanted to go to a party on a boat. if it sucks, i'll just pretend it's my sweet 16 and i'm getting a car at the end.

to buy the ticket, i went to the graduate student center - full of foreign students, as i expected - but what i could not have anticipated was, they were watching the fresh prince. so i sat down, we all had a good laugh, and when i came back from the library, i looked up the following:

is this version better, just because it's longer, and includes more of the fresh prince rapping, which he never actually does on the show? this might be because i'm biased and can do the entire short version with no prompting, and might actually do just that on the boat on friday, but i don't think that the part with his mom and the part on the plane are as quality. also, i remembered the plane part as him having eaten a philly cheese steak in his seat, and i was disappointed when that didn't happen.
