1st week of school. hooray...;)

Well, i can definitely say that this has been an eventful 1st week of school. the 1st day was Tuesday, since Monday was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. nothing really exciting happened. we were done in music theory class in like 10 minutes, and since our next class, band, wasn't for another hour and like 10 minutes or so, us sophomores (that being 3 of us...lol) made a Starbucks run. and.....THEY WERE CLOSED!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? STARBUCKS.....CLOSED. AS IN THE OPPOSITE OF OPEN. CLOSED. FOR THE WHOLE DAY. CLOSED. that's the first time Starbucks has ever disappointed me. *sniff sniff* anyways, they closed because of the "unpredictable Texas weather" according to the sign.

which brings me to the next point: we finally got our cold weather i've been waiting expectantly for alllllllll winter long. i thought it would never come...but it did! hooray, hooray!!! it actually SNOWED yesterday! SNOWED!!!!!!!!! awesome, huh? at least for us Texans where snow comes like once in a lifetime....lol. and because of the weather, the whole college was completely shut down! SWEET! it was only the 2nd day of school, and they canceled classes due to the snow. it's pretty funny actually, cuz the weather wasn't really that BAD....i mean, yes, there was snow on the ground...but the roads didn't seem that bad, and it was terribly cold either. Texans just overreact when they see snow. not that I'M complaining, mind you. i spent all day reading Eldest in my room. :) ahhhh, i remember the jolly 'ol days of middle school when i was public schooled......we lived in Colorado then, and there could be 3 FEET OF SNOW on the ground, but they still had school. they NEVER canceled. seriously. and here, if there's so much as 1 snowflake, everything shuts down. :D amazing.

well, let's see....i have a pretty easy semester this time. here's all my classes: Intermediate Music Theory, and Advanced Sight Singing and Ear Training; band, jazz band, chorale, and vocal ensemble; private piano and violin lessons; and finally.....computer science. lol the last class is quite the oddball compared with the rest of my schedule. but, oh well.....i hafta take it if i wanna graduate. oh, yeah, did i mention i'm graduating this semester? WOOT!!! i will have an AA--that is, Associates degree in art....which means music for me. ;) it makes me feel so smart and important. lol anyways, this post was a WHOLE lot longer than i anticipated. that tends to happen a lot with me! lol O:-)

bye bye for now!
