This holiday wasn't too shabby, got some new clothes and such, lots to bring to France. I got Bond's promo CD from my uncle which made me :) 1, 2. My video camera pretty much covered Christmas this year in terms of gifts. I had to work on Christmas Eve, which totally sucked, I missed going to the holiday mass with my folks so :( but a little funny story from work: I bought some stuff at work and got a half dollar coin as change. I've never seen one before and thought it was foreign. My manager made fun of me and told me its been around for a while. Then the rest of the employees start to make fun of me. I tell them to stop making fun of me cause I've only been in the US for two years (which isn't true, I was born here). So everyone feels bad and apologizes for teasing me. They ask why my English is so good and I say that I just worked real hard. That was really funny! oh well, they'll know now its not true if they read this LoL My stupid act of yesterday, I was washing my face in the sink after my shower and go to reach for my facewash. Instead of grabbing my facewash, I grabbed my mom's hair gel stuff. I start to wash my face and it doesn't feel right. I realized what it was and felt really stupid. My mom told me tho, that my face is clearer than ever I went out driving today cause my house was being cleaned by the cleaning ladies. Much fun that was, for many reasons :) I watched the latest lunchtime documentary from Monday, sooo funny! I'd put up pics but I realized it sucks up my bandwidth like a mofo so maybe later. So yea that's all for now folks! Dec 27 - My parents got me a car!!!!! Whoo hoo! I'm gonna be cruising around in my red Ford Focus! Sunday~ December 21, 2003 It's over! Finally got the concert over with and I gotta say, we rocked, at least Humanities did. Silver and Satoshi did awesome then Esther and I rocked it out on Holy Night. Silver was even sick all day and she still pulled it off great. Regular Chorus was aright, Order My Steps had to be our best. We just made it with words for Select which was good. And I didn't drop my candle! Just one little doot: I came in too early on Holy Night so since I was amplified, you can hear me coming in early... horrible... Hallelujah was sooo much fun! I worked hard on all the songs before so my last song, I wanted to have fun! That was so great! I didn't know the words or my cues! I guess I was so loud, Rada kept turning around and laughing. Now this was a memory. If you didn't do the chorus, that sucks. I mean yea coming in every Monday was tough but it was a half hour. It was all worth it in the end, we all had fun screwing up on stage.. well at least I did. I was supposed to do my French project on Friday but she was absent sooo...And Schmidt changed his teaching style around and makes us take our own notes in silence instead of teaching us himself. He says its because we can have 'mature' converstaions (I missed that day) and we don't listen. I think its something else... I need more lunchtime adventures. I was recounting moments at Ali's house and I laughed so much. Damn that was so great, maybe we'll do it again tommorow. I worked so much this week, I'm completely exhasted. I gotta work on Christmas Eve from 11-8 so :(. So much for the family tradtions that day. Oh well, have fun y'all! < Thursday~ December 18, 2003 Yea, I've gotten better. This week wasn't so bad, just tiring. Tonight's the concert so that means... chorus rehersals! We had our last Humanities practice Monday night, which went okay other than the fact I screwed up the last part of my verse. We had a bunch of in school practices, both for select and regular chorus. These were okay, justing going through motions and such. I got really tired, singing all out and thought I wasn't gonna make it to Humanities. We'll see how that goes. Select practice scared me... some of us still don't know the words. Its not the fact that its hard, its just the songs are so repetitive you can easily forget. I really hope tonight goes well... We'll find out tonight! All you better be there, or at least watch it on TV. Yesterday, Me, Ali, JF, Katie and Mike went to Dunkin Donuts/KFC for lunch. This was sooo much fun! Just some things to recount: Seabiscuits; popcorn chicken; how to spell BBQ; katie coughing her guts out; the dancing Santa; blueberry flavored coffee; how bad salmon flavored cream chesse tastes; Ali's broken wrist due to...; JF running into the pole/wall; blueberry coffee, the lady with the disco pants, the Milkshake dance; katie being raped by french vanilla coffee; the lady with the huge nose. Maybe I'll add more when I remember Check out the pics below and scroll over for comments. I worked lots this week. Its tough putitng away so much stuff, and it get's tiring. But hey, gotta bring home the bacon. or maybe just the pigs since Kathryn doesn't like bacon. Almost done with the college apps. Two more to go! Today went to the park for lunch with Mike and JF. Much fun swinging over frozen woodchips and sliding on the ice. Guess that's all folks! Have a good one! Friday~ December 12, 2003 Yea this week sucked the big one. Okay time for me to rant: I want... ...to be on my Search ...to get into college ...to do well in school ...to be on my Search ...to do well on my solo for Oh Holy Night ...my song to be performed at the winter concert (but it won't be) ...to be reading my talk on my Search right now ...to play piano like Alicia Keys ...to be more happy about things ...to get a car ...to be on my Search ...Bond's new Marshall Fields promo CD ...everyone to get over the flu or whatever is going around ...to learn how to work my video camera ...to understand Precalculus ...the grading system in Aquatic Ecology to improve (which I doubt it will) ...there to be world peace ...to be having fun on my Search ...the Winter concert to be awesome ...to be able to get more sleep after work ...to have a great holiday ...to be on my Search ...someone to talk to Yea I think I'm done. I hope I can be less depressed than I have been for the past fews days and that everything turns out :) I went out to lunch with Steph, Rina and Ali for pizza today. That was lots of fun cause we talked about tall people and the fact that I just love pizza! My concerts this Thursday, so all you non RD people go! I hope Jeremy and Andy can go with their 'busy schedules'. Oh yea and Happy Birthday to Christina, Bernie, Anat and Liz! Monday~ December 8, 2003 Again, can't seem to get this thing updated as often as I thought. Today really sucked, I'm really depressed especially after tonight. I had to go to Humanities Chorus all pissed off. That definalty affected my solo, which sucked btw. it was kinda nice to get out of the house and away from things but it didn't last forever. There were some things during chorus that made me :) but... As a whole, I think we sounded pretty good, guys just gotta sing out more. Let's see what else to talk about. I had another Search overnight at Kev's house. That was pretty fun, I was just so tired since I went straight from work to the meeting. We had our Work day yesterday, making all the stuff for the weekend. Damn it all looks so good, I can't wait for it to all start. I just hope we get enough people to go to it, otherwise :( It's Christmas time and that means it has to snow. Ironically, I hate the snow and the cold, yet my alter ego is Freeze? Weird, huh? Decided to make things more festive here by adding some snow to the banner and putting up Bond's Jingle Bell Rock. I got an early Christmas present from the folks... a new video camera! I can't wait to take it to France and make like a millon hours of footage... heh heh. With my new camera, I made some screen caps of Bond's performances, check em out on Erin's site, Viva! Bond, all the way on the bottom. I got three college apps done! I'm so proud of myself, although I would have been done weeks before if I didn't slack off so much. All I have to worry bout now are music auditions... I added a new comment thing on my updates, well at least some of them. Now you guys can bash what I say, fun huh? Well, have a great day everyone.
