I am well aware that it has been an unacceptably long time since I have updated my LJ, but with very good reason; namely, I've been incredibly monster busy. The most important recent event has been the Faure Requiem, and it was incredible. I'm so glad that I was a part of it - I've never been in such an amazing choir that sounds so incredible, ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness gracious GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! I just got back from the most AMAZING, REMARKABLE, FANTASTIC, STUPENDOUS, BRILLIANT, FABULOUS, INCREDIBLE piano recital EVER!!!!!!! I'm worn out and I didn't even play anything...whew! So the pianist, Stanislav Ioudenitch, is this short, Slavic guy who looks like he wouldn't hurt a fly, but who was ( Read more... )

So I'm home in Jackson, and may I say at the risk of sounding unoriginal and corny, "There's no place like home!!!!" It's the truth. I felt gross yesterday so I spent the entire day on the sofa - all I did was eat, sleep, read, and watch TV with the fam. So much fun! Today I feel revived and am happily knitting ( Read more... )

Today has been a random, interesting day. Started off by sleeping in and not taking a shower before going to Calculus.

Then I went to Biology and took a monster hard test that got really confusing and didn't make ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEANNA!!!!!!!

Have a great start to your 19th year!

Took a Chemistry quiz this morning, and I'm feeling pretty ok about it - I either made a 100 or 80 - I should hopefully find out Thurs. I'm really, REALLY worried about my grade in there - I haven't made an A all semester, which is so incredibly unlike me. It's all been really stupid mistakes that any other teacher would give me partial credit ( Read more... )

May I just point out that the "happy" mood frog is the same as the "cheerful" mood frog. Some slacker didn't take the time to make the "cheerful" frog look different from the "happy" frog. He should be singing or something.

Church this morning went very well, despite my nerves. Yes, this morning was the first time that I have ever played off of lead sheets, and it wasn't really true lead sheets. I had the melody and the chords, but I had all the other notes written in from Wednesday night practice, so it wasn't really playing off of lead sheets. You get the idea. ( Read more... )

Six hours of driving: tiring

Two tanks of gas: expensive!

Number of CDs listened to: at least six

Ten family members in one place: humorous chaos

Five consecutive hours in the sun: red arms and a watch tan

Watching Joy win 1st in the 800 and 400 relay and 2nd in the 200 sprint at her first official track meet of the year: PRICELESS!
