(no subject)
So... this past week has been pretty bad. I'm not going into all the details because they don't all need to be spread around in LJ-land, and if you don't know already, just IM me and I'll tell you.
So after Tuesday night, life was pretty much not fun at all. I had an educational psychology exam on Wednesday night, a music history exam Thursday afternoon, teaching lessons Thursday and Friday, and just a bunch of other drama that was going on. I think that both of the exams went pretty well (I'm hoping at least), so I guess that's good. But I didn't want to come home at all because it was just insanely stressful, so I ended up staying away for random periods of time.
Thankfully I didn't have lessons on Wednesday, or I probably would have called to cancel, and then Tony would have been cranky. This way it was his fault :P Band has been hell this week, because it's been insanely cold and I think it's making me sick. I'm pretty sure that Wednesday, I coughed so hard that I pulled a muscle, which since then has made it hard for me to take more than one "full" breaths in a row. You know that feeling where you have to yawn but you can't? You can only get so far? (If you've never felt this, you'll think I'm crazy, but if you have... you'll know what I'm talking about) Well, I've been feeling like that since Thursday morning when I woke up. I'm not coughing quite as much, but I'm exhausted because... I don't know. But it's like, I yawn/take a deep breath and then it just stops. I can't get the full breath that I want, cause it hurts to expand my chest any farther. I'm hoping that it's just some weird muscle. Then there are times when I take deep breaths and it's fine. If anyone out there wants to try to diagnose it as something else, feel free.
But Saturday was our last day of outdoor marching band. Hurray! No more lugging the stupid xylophone around everywhere! Next year, I'm definitely going to be on the line. I'll work my butt off this summer so that I can be strong enough, and then everything will be just fine. Monday we have an indoor rehearsal, and then on Wednesday we have an "indoor concert", which means we march in, sit down, and play through all of our halftime music. Pretty fascinating, eh? But I'm trying to get a whole group of people to get to the Alma marching show, so that could definitely be fun. I know that for sure I'll be going, and probably Miny, Joe, and Joel at least. I'm definitely excited.
So then yesterday was our last game, blah blah blah. I survived, although I was pretty cold when I got back. Thankfully I had the house to myself, so I turned the heat up so that it would be warm when I got back, and then turned it back down to a more reasonable temperature once I warmed up. I found out that one of my friends is possibly going into the Army Reserves, but I think I'll be okay with that. Well, I guess I should say another friend, I've already got a couple that are in it. Does the military really have to steal ALL my guy friends? :P I came back, and hung out here for a while. I ended up getting into a fight with one of my friends, but I think that everything is all okay now. Miny and Joe came over for a while and we were all music ed geeky together, and it was pretty much awesome. I <3 them.
So I have a bunch of work that I should be working on right now, but unfortunately, I work better under pressure (which means tomorrow and Tuesday nights), Wednesday is too abstract for me right now. I'm also super tired so I really don't want to be working on this stuff... but I have an exam in european history on Wednesday, my debate on No Child Left Behind on Wednesday, a rough draft of my 15 page ed psych paper due on Wednesday, and the marching band concert. And my lesson. I also have to practice my stuff for music history... since I haven't really started on that at all. Oops.
Hmm. Just found out some interesting info, but again, IM me if you're interested. I can't spread it all around just yet... but it's got me smiling again. So that's good.
Anyway, I lost my train of thought from all that, so I'm going to wrap this up and actually probably be super lame and actually go to bed at like, 11 o'clock. But I need sleep, and these are good thoughts. Definitely a good way to go crash.
Love to all!
