I just got back from my dress rehearsal and after party and I am exhausted. Seriously exhausted. The day did go well; rehearsal was relatively smooth for once. Party was great, we ate lots of good food and played some awesome pool games. All of course, while listening to Christmas music.

 

The only bummer about my day was that the hair place by my house won't do my hair tomorrow because it is so long. REALLY! Discrimination I swear. So, I look up another place close by, and their price was more than ten dollars more than the first place. Needless to say, I am doing my own hair tomorrow. Take that you crazy hair people! Oh, well, such is life.

 

I am really excited about tomorrow, but before I get there I need some serious shut-eye.....

FINALLY!!!!! My finals are O-V-E-R!!! I am sooooo excited, and relieved to be done with school for the year. I just have my concert this weekend and then I am done for a whole month. I even celebrated with a candy cane chill blizzard!!!! Now I am exhausted, and ready for some sleep. Maybe 24 hours would be enough, maybe not..... Oh well, I will have to wait until after the weekend to get any sleep anyways.

 

Soooooo excited for Christmas!!!! I still have a few things left to get, but I am almost done. I just need to figure out what to get my parents; they are so hard to buy for.

 

Have a good weekend!!!

I just finished my paper and it is not even midnight!!!! I am on a roll :) My eyes kind of hurt from staring at the computer so long though. Now all I have to do is finish going over my study sheet for my exam tomorrow, and I can go to bed!!!!! Thank God, I don't have to stay up alllllll night.

 

My English exam went well today. At least I think it did..... It wasn't horrible, but there were a few confusing things on the final. Tomorrow's test is the one I am most worried about, but I have been studying the material he told us to, so hopefully that will help.

 

AHHHH! My eyes are killing me!!!! Wish me luck on my final final. (HA!)

*insert Loganberry in the coffee slot, and you are right on!

So, it is day two of finals week, and I am soooo glad I didn't have a final today! I do have my English final tomorrow, but I am not to worried about that one. Unfortunately, I didn't work on my paper today, so you know what that means? ALL NIGHTER TOMORROW! UGHHHH! OK, so maybe it won't be that bad, I only have two more pages to go, right???

 

Concert prep is going well, and I am feeling good. I still need to make a hair appointment, and figure out what to do with my nails. I finally found my shirt though! Sooooo happy that is over. It is sooooo cute. :)

 

I should probably get some sleep, but I will probably be up for another half hour on Pintrest, or reading my book. :)

*here's a pic of my shirt!!!!

I am sooooo pumped!!!! I totally aced my final today, and I finished over half of my paper that's due Thursday!!!! Whoooooo! So, I don't have any finals tomorrow, but I am hoping to get some more of my paper done, and study for my big final on Thursday. I really am not worried about my English final, which surprises me, but from what my teacher said, it should be relatively easy.

 

So I broke down today and brought out the trustworthy college-student-studying-for-finals food....... RAMEN NOODLES!!!! Now, I know that there is a great controversy about how to say said food, but really people, say it like it's spelled. RAY-MEN noodles, not RAH-MEN. Sorry, anyways, I am on page three of five, and I did hit a mental block, but I find that when that happens, I really need to take a break, so I did. Tomorrow is a new day, and hopefully, I will break through the mental blockage.

 

Now, I need the sleep that my college friends desperately needed last night. As of this morning, some of them were running on over 36 hours without sleep. Me, I would be passed out dead on the floor, not happening. So, I am hitting the sack, and totally not stressing. :)

Personally, I like the beef best; it's not that I don't like the chicken, but my dad raised me on beef, beef, and venison. :)

The weekend has come to a close. :( Now, the craziness begins! I am proud of myself for studying today. I am all set for my final tomorrow, and I even got the first, and hardest, paragraph of my paper done. I always have a hard time trying to introduce my subject and make it intriguing for the reader; so some of the hard part is done. Tomorrow I will sit down and start typing, and finding some more sources. I usually piece my papers together by writing out my main points and the cold, hard facts. Then I fill in the spaces with extra information that may seem useless, but really helps to get the amount of pages I need, :) OK, I really don't put useless stuff in my papers, but it is "filler". Thankfully, next year we won't have a page requirement, but a word requirement. I work better in terms of words than pages.

 

So, I decorated my room with lights, and I probably won't use my regular lights for the rest of the year. They put off enough light when it is dark outside, and my sheer curtains let in the light during the day.

I'm going to try to take this week one day at a time, so the stress level stays down. Hopefully, that will work out! Or, I could just use it as an excuse to eat more chocolate!

It snowed today!!!!! Not the good kind that sticks, just the wet, yucky kind; but it was still AWESOME!!! So I had a great day with the BF, his mom and nephews. The boys got a little rowdy, and loud, and hateful, and crabby, and angry; but they are still the cutest nephews in the whole wide world.

 

My second concert is over, and now it is time to stress over the big one. I guess it doesn't help that finals are this week either. I really need to start that paper....... I have one final on Monday, one on Wednesday, and one on Thursday with the paper due the same day. Hopefully I will manage my time wisely and study hard for my tests. I really don't feel like failing.......

 

Adding to all that pressure is a horrible stomach ache that started up this evening. I have no idea why it hurts, but man, does it hurt. If I get sick before this concert, well, bad things would happen. The only problem with chocolate: It doesn't help stomach aches!
