long time no see!

well, it's been awhile since i've written....haven't had much going on lately. just school, school, oh yeah! ...and more school. lol ;) i got my music lit test back...i actually did better than i thought i would! you see, i sorta lost my notebook with ALL of my notes in it....not good. so i thought if i read the chapters in the book on Classical and Romantic periods that i'd be good. that was dumb. of course, he had questions like: name 10 artists from the Romantic period and stuff like that. i was like, uh......what? lol but (thanks to extra credit) i made out with a B. don't ask me how. i don't question my good grades.....lol jk

anyways, yay! a new Enya contest has started again! hopefully it won't be DUMB like the last one, where i had it all figured out then couldn't get the VERY LAST password. sheesh. this time, the winners receive autographed copies of her brand new single: It's in the Rain. yipee! this is especially nice, since i don't believe America is getting this single. >:( so hopefully i'll win.....*sarcastic laugh* right......

choir concert's only a week away (and two days). it should be pretty cool...except i have to play the STUPID (i stress--stupid!) piano part for "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." i love the song, even the stupid piano part, but i just CAN'T seem to get it no matter how much i pratice, which is weird, cuz it's not really THAT hard. i think it's because she makes me play like really fast, and i panic because i'm like, "oh, no! where do my fingers go?!" lol but HOPEFULLY i'll do ok....

next payment for camp this sunday!!! yipee! i'm so excited about it, as you well know, Katherine....lol.

well, on a slightly sadder note....my grandfather died today of cancer. i was very saddened, because i loved him very much (even if we didn't neccessarily agree theologically). *sigh* i'll miss him a lot.

well, time for supper, so i'll leave ya now. namarie,

A Day at Hill College

sooooo......alot happened today.
first of all, Mr. Lowe didn't show up to class this morning, and we found out that it was because his daughter is having a baby! yay! he's a grandfather again...hehe. apparently, his wife called him last night after the basket ball game, and told him that she was going to get their daughter, because her water broke i believe. so this morning she still hadn't gone into labor, but i'm sure she has by now....:)
secondly, the music majors decided to spend our afternoon having a water balloon fight at the park. it was a BLAST!!!! they had been making the balloons since like 8 that morning. i know we had over 1,000 at least! and for 5-6 minutes of fun....lol. of course, because i hadn't gotten as wet as everyone else, Jolenna had to point it out. then she and keeley held me down while the guys poured a HUGE trash can full of freezing cold water on me.....it was fun t hough. even if it was cold. lol luckily i brought a towel with me.
it's been really nice this week....unusually warm. i heard that we're at record highs. so, it was so beautiful today that i took my homework outside and listened to music. it was great.

we got our pictures back today for the board that the music people make. mine turned out ok....i wish i had remembered to bring my violin for my personality pose. but there's always next year.
well, guess i'll go for now. ttfn, ta ta for now! :D
