I think I twisted my ankle
It hurts when I put a lot of weight on it or have it a certain way... anyways my ankle hurts. I have NO IDEA how it happened, unless it is from playing volleyball at the picnic yesterday... but wouldn't it have started hurting much sooner than now?
Chapter 6
I got their album today!!! And all I can say is WOW. The album is BY FAR their best! It is SOOOOOO good! This is one album I will definately enjoy listening to over and over again. OH WOW. The Canada song is funny, the 7th wheel is DEFINATELY funny (especially since I heard it live so I just imagine what went on stage) and everything. These guys are SO talented. God has blessed them with an amazing gift.
The only thing missing from it is a hidden track, but that's something most CD's don't have so I'll let is slide by.
This time.

Yeah
Tracy called me last night. So that was cool. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I mean talking to someone that you have never met before physically. What's weird is that we talked like we knew each other personally for years. So I'm not that afraid anymore of people I meet online calling me, as long as I am ok with it!!!!

WHOA it changed.
For the second time since I've been here, some part of Blogger has changed. This was more major though, as the website iself has changed. Not too shabby, Blogger.
I am in the midst of writing a Rush composition. It's called Rush Emulsified. You can hear what I have done so far on my website... I may work on it a little more tomorrow.
Tomorrow is a busy day. I have class early (we are showing the middle schoolers the music building and campus a little bit), then I meet about my composistion with Prof. Morton at 10:30, voice lesson at 11:30, class from 12:30 until 1:45, then Voice Area even though I DO NOT want to go... it's gonna be long because everyone does the last one... but I think Steph is performing and I'm sure other people that I know are too so it won't be TOO bad. Then last Tudor Voices meeting at 4:30, then right after that final Chamber Love dinner meet in front of PMC at 5:30, headed to Cheddar's for a 6:00 reservation, then back here after that for Dustin's organized meeting... THAT'S gonna be cool, Christians from all over campus gathering together. That is gonna be AWESOME. Then after that, home. And I can stay up as late as I want and sleep until whenever I want (or at least until 1) because Wednesday is Dead Day (or Study Day as the officals at millikin want to call it... I guess dead is too gory for them or soemthing :-P). But yeah I'm excited... I can see the light at the end of the tunnel getting ever closer and closer to closing my Junior year.
Wow. I can't believe it's been three years already. Been thru good times and bad... Watch for a post of reflection within the next few days.

Procrastination
I"m procrastinating on doing an ad for a newspaper for ed psych... which I don't want to do at all... but I must... and the thing is the ad won't take that long and I think that's what i"m thinking in the back of my mind while I go do other things... which sucks majorly, but what can you do. Ah, well, I'll get it done. I'm doing it on Prozac, as is Vanessa's suggestion.
Vanessa is a woman.
So speaking of women, (Yeah I had to do that so I could say "Speaking of women..."), it is now officially Mother's Day. I'm going to have to call mom early in the morning and tell her that... although when I call her she will probably already be up for about 4 hours... sometimes I don't know how she manages to get up at 6 every morning without an alarm clock. She is a machine! But a human machine with blood and nerves and stuff and (gasp) she's the terminator! Oh that movie has so many paralells! (Yes, I was intending on paralelling this part with the Smelly Cat episode of Friends... the one that my sister doesn't want me to watch because that's like the only friends episode I watch... I fast forward thru the rest of the episode just to see the smelly cat parts. ANYWAYS...)
So yeah I'm starting to get ready for home... I'm in the midst of doing my final load of laundry, one that will get me to the end. I can see the light!

3 hours sleep...
That's all I got last night. I worked on my health topics magazine in my room and in the computer lab last night, since the internet in my room was acting stupid (on and off). I ended up getting a good chunk done but I went to bed around 3ish. I woke up at like 6, without my alarm, and then worked on my magazine until I finished at 8:30. I went to the class and of course the class was gone since that class seriously only lasts sometimes for 15 minutes. So I just left it outside his door and went to teach. More on that in my lj.
Anyways after I got home I tried taking a quick nap. I semi-slept for an hour and couldn't sleep. So I got lunch and then went to class. After class I came home and crashed. I slept for another 3 hours, so i'm fine now. And nothing huge is due until monday! YEAH!
My allergies were SO BAD this week... but they are finally starting to settle down. I'm still a little congested and when I wake up I have sinus pressure. I take a Tylenol sinus allergy and I"m fine except my mouth and throat get so dry! I got some Luden's to help counteract that side effect, along with drinking lots of liquids.
Now that the discipline plan and the magazine are finished, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, because nothing is due until monday, and that's piano for teachers so that's a breeze for me. I have to practice it though. I know what I am capable of at the piano and the last few times I haven't been really showing that since I've been sight reading everything. But it should go well.
This weekend... I start to pack! I may be going home on Saturday because Dr. Hoffman (or Crazy Darlene as Vanessa likes to call her) has given us an option for taking a take home final! Which would mean no monday final at 8am! NO FINALS DURING FINALS WEEK. It seems like this semester every teacher has been rescheduling their scheduled final time. Which I don't mind. Only thing I have to do during finals week is my composition presentation, and that's Friday night. I don't mind staying for that because I like listening to other people's compositions, but I HATE presenting my own. I hope next year composition has a little less parameters surrounding it... I want to write choral music.
I bought crazy taxi for $1.99 at game stop only to have it not be compatilbe with my computer because I don't have enough Ram or something. But I'll keep the game because I plan on getting a new computer within the next year or two.
In other news, Dustin has been singing praises a lot today.

I may have mentioned or at least seen this before...
But the ad above? The ever changing ad above? Yeah, it now states "Discount Rush tickets" and "Cheap Rush tickets" because I am talking about Rush. Intellesting.
