Oh Danny boy...the pipes, the pipes are calling

I just ate a cabbage core and failed my Accounting exam. Well actually the failure happened when I stopped going to lectures and tutes and my Quickbooks stuffed up so as to ensure I failed my second assignment. Oh well. I'm procrastinating to avoid being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of micro that I need to learn in a couple of hours or I will fail that too.

In other news I made about $115 on Ebay this week. Also, I'm getting a singing coach next semester and as I want to be totally in charge of what I sing I have been using this as an excuse to procrastinate more by spending my life on Youtube to find suitable songs (Charlotte Church, Hayley Westenra etc). As a result I've found the best 'band' ever. They go by the (very shit) name of Celtic Woman. It's basically a bunch of very accomplished soloists (singers and a fiddler) that tour as a group occassionally and sing classical, traditional and popular songs. My favourite are their versions of: Danny Boy, Scarborough Fair, May It Be, Carrickfergus and You Raise Me Up as well as the traditional Irish songs whose Gaelic titles I can neither spell nor pronounce. I shall post a video up here too.

Well back to work for me. But really all I want to do is sing and write, make cupcakes and do craft, but most of all prepare myself for the trip that's looming ever nearer.
