Last night of November, last Christmas Concert

Tonight was my school's Christmas concert. It actually went really well! I was surprised. LOL I have a feeling I'm going to be missed next semester so that makes me happy that I've left a little bit of an impact on my choir friends.
Goodness I can't believe tomorrow is December 1st. Blows my mind! I really need to start making my Christmas presents!
This weekend is going to be crazy! I have:
Ensemble practice
White Christmas(second weekend!)
Church choir Christmas specials
and studying for finals. Oh joy.
So I probably better get back to my chemistry studying. UGH. If I hear Mrs. Stansberry say that we're going to do anything with moles again, I'll scream! Thank goodness I only have two weeks left until I'm out of there!
Goodnight!

Woah Thanksgiving!

I can't believe it's Thanksgiving! I honestly feel like I should still be riding water rides at Dollywood, and wearing shorts. But alas, time does fly. Goodness that's an understatement!
I went to All East last weekend. It was a ton of fun. I finally memorized my Russian! Our director was so cool. She was super nice and made everyone want to do their best, and put all of their energy into the performence. Oh, I got to see a portion of my Governor's School family too. :) And sing with them! That was kind of the highlight of the weekend. Of course if you don't count seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. :D The only sad part about the weekend was that I found out that I did not make All State. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one out of my GSFTA family that did not make it. :( Oh well, there's always next year I guess. :)
I only have two more weeks of school, and that makes me SO HAPPY! No more science, no more math, and no more public school! :D
This week has been crazy. I'm working tech for White Christmas(which opens this Friday!), and let me tell you, it's intense. I've never been involved with a production that had this much set and props! It's almost too much. But I'm under great leadership, and I get to add another show under my belt, so that makes it bearable. :)
Well, I guess that's all. Mom's in the kitchen cooking for tonight's Thanksgiving dinner, Dad's finishing putting up the Christmas lights, and I'm about to do....something. I'm not sure yet. hehe I have to option of: reading, practicing my piano music, make some necklaces for Christmas gifts, take a nap, help Mom in the kitchen, clean my room, organize the bathroom, the list goes on. I think I'll see what Mom wants me to do! Having a second opinion is always great. :)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you count your blessings one by one, and see what God has done! Oh, and don't eat TOO much, because as my Weight Watcher's teacher said, "Gobble Gobble makes you Wobble Wobble" LOL!

I'm having trouble containing my excitement.

Ok. This week has been pretty amazing. If you exclude everything that has happened at school of course.
Last Wednesday I sang my heart out at the Veteran's Day program. My first "big" solo gig! It was so much fun. The compliments I recieved from high ranking military officers and TVA employees absolutely touched my heart. And I thank Andrea Duncan so much for working with me, putting together a medley, and accompianing me. She is one of the kindest and godliest women I've ever met. I strive to be like that. But anyways, it was an amazing day, and I will definitely look back on that day as a milestone in my future career. :)
2nd good thing: Dad took me to Dollywood on Saturday! OHMYGOODNESSILOVEDOLLYWOODSOMUCH.
And it's the Christmas Season!
:D :D :D :D :D *happy dance*
Oh, and you wanna know a little secret? I'm going to audition in January to be a performer there! That is, I hope I will! You have to be 17 to work there, and you kinda have to not have school on a daily basis, but I'm not going to let that stand in my way!
So we'll see how that goes. hehe
That is all for now. School sucks(as usual), White Christmas opens next Friday(I'm working backstage, so I'll start going to rehearsals tomorrow), and All East is on Thursday!
I'm pretty excited about All East. I really want to see my Governor's School friends! I miss them dearly. They are my second family, remember? Anyways, that'll be great.
Oh, and four more weeks until Christmas Break! I know, as torturous as it's been, it's really flown by!
I'm feeling so much excitement and hope for the near future, it's going to be so great!

Back to the Future: The Weekend

What have I done this weekend?

Pretty much nothing.

Friday I did NOTHING.(except for staring at the television for an hour during Sanctuary, which I really enjoyed] Amanda Tapping is my FAVORITE!)

Saturday was a movie day.

I woke up with My Girl

Ate lunch with Ever After

And spent the rest of the day(3:30-11:00) watching the Back to the Future trilogy.

I don't think I've ever had this much time on my hands(and this will probably never happen again BTW)

BEST. MOVIES. EVER.

Michael J. Fox I love you!!!! You're a cutie ;)

I want your hover board. And your plaid shirt.

I wish I had a friendship like Marty and the Doc's.

The novel version of the movies shall most definitely be on my Christmas list...

along with electronic candles. And other things I can't think of.

Sunday(that's today) I went to church.

Can I just say that if there's one person I'm throughly grateful for right now, it's Andrea Duncan.

I've never met a nicer person in my life. Seriously!

She's accompianing me/arranging a medley for a veteran's program I'm singing for this Wednesday.

I REALLY loved the medley that she put together, she's so patient, and nice to do this on such short notice. We rehearsed in between services today, and she gave me advice on parts of the song that I never would of thought of. And Tuesday we're going to rehearse again. I'm so excited! My first big solo "gig".

Very nervewracking. hehe.

I'm not nervous now, but once I see the facility, and once it hits me that I'm singing ALONE, and I don't even have a director.....yeah. No pressure.

I'm praying VERY HARD that I do alright.

Anyways, that's kind of what my week looks like.

Along with music lessons, math tutoring, and the occasional Zumba class.

I know, I have nothing in my schedule right now, it's crazy!

I'm having trouble comprehending it myself, to be honest.

Though in about a week or so I'll be up at the theatre every day(*happy dance*) since I'll be working backstage for White Christmas! Yay!

But anyways...

Mom's probably going to yell at me any second now to go study chemistry.

UGH I DESPISE CHEMISTRY WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING!

I'd rather go listen to the Back to the Future soundtrack.....which I downloaded today.

For some reason I've recently developed a fetish for 80/90's movies..

My Girl, The Shining, Back to the Future, Alien, what's next?

awwww :)

The last thing Marty saw before leaving 1885 was Clara being saved by the Doc and them floating away happily on the pink hoverboard. :)

It made me sad when I first saw it, and it looked like he was never going to see the Doc again, after the Time Machine gets destroyed. :(

But then he comes back! Yay!

And then it's over. No fourth movie :(

Ok I'll shutup now.

Oh guess what? It's 7:50, and it's been dark for a whole hour!

I don't know whether I like this time change thing or not. Oh well.

*tear* Michael J. Fox is in tears.

But he finds his girlfriend again! Yay!

SHUTTING UP NOW.

I can't believe that the sun set at 8:15 back at the end of August, and in November the sun set at 5:50.

Not cool.

Oh, and you know what else? It's didn't get above 40 degrees outside!!!

I am not pleased.

I MISS SUMMER.

And wearing short.

Though I get to wear my peacoat, yay! :D

Ok, I better go. I hate that I don't update often, but I'm just busy. More like, I don't have a chance to get on the computer often.

He's back, Doc's back! with his TRAIN time machine! Happy Dance! And it has stained glass windows. Very classy. I love the picture he gave Marty, so sweet!

Did I mention I wish I had a friendship like that? One where you're closer than family? It must be nice.

Ok it's over. And the movie is Still an epic WIN.

Ok I'm getting off now, for real!

Though I have to say one more thing: I'm very proud of my best friend Elizabeth Thompson, for finishing her opening weekend for Dracula in Iowa. I miss her :( But she's doing really well, and I'm about to change schools too, so I'm really happy for her! I just hope I can see her during Christmas break or something.

Ok, seriously now, Pirates of the Caribbean is on, so I'm going to get off because I KNOW Mom'll want to study chemistry. Oh. Joy.

Goodnight! :)
