So the weekend has come to a close, and for once, in a long time, I don't have to go to school tomorrow!!!! YEAH!!!!! I do have to get up though because our piano is getting tuned tomorrow at 11am. I guess I get to sleep in a little bit, but I do have to get up, and dressed, and make sure the house looks okay.

So, my day was good, but I am still exhausted from yesterday. I feel so tired, and yet, I don't want to go to bed. I even started a new project that I am very excited about. I am crocheting a zigzag chevron like scarf, and so far it looks fabulous! I may even try to figure out how to do a hat as well.

 

On a more serious note, my heart goes out to all the families in Connecticut who were involved in this horrible tragedy. Things like this should not happen in America, much less to a group of elementary kids. It reminds us that we need to cherish every moment we get with our loved ones; no matter how much they annoy you or make you mad, you would rather have them alive than anything. Make sure you are prepared yourself, that if this, God forbid, ever happened to you or your loved ones, you would know where you will spend eternity, and that your family and friends would be there with you.

 

Love and Prayers to Connecticut,

My computer is slowly dying and so am I. OK, I am not really dying, just crashing. My concert went sooooooo well tonight!!!!!! I am so happy and proud of all of the people involved that put in so much hard work and effort. Of course my conductor, was fabulous as well. We all love her so much!!!!

I even got flowers from the students. Somebody really does love me! (Besides the BF of course, who has no choice but to love me:)

 

So the BF's brother is home for the holidays from the army. So good to have him back, he brings a lot of life and joy to the party!!! He has a hilarious imagination, and I'm sure one the last brother gets home, some crazy things are going to be going on.

 

Well, I better hit the sack before I fall asleep on the keyboard.......

Have a great rest of the weekend! Only 10 more days till Christmas!!!

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. :)
