Procrastination

Well, as usual I am supposed to be doing homework. I did some of it, but I have hit the rut of "I'm tired of doing this." I am very good at procrastination I have come to find out. This looks more fun to do rather than homework.

We got our Chrismas tree yesterday. It's a short, fat little thing, but it's a cute tree that will serve it's purpose well. We set it up last night to let the branches fall, and me and Mom decorated it this afternoon when she got off of work. I haven't been able to help decorate the tree for 2 years now, and helping Mom with it today felt really good. It's one of the many things I miss about being away from home.

I love candles. Last night I had 10 of them lit up in my room. That's another thing I miss. Living on campus we are not allowed to have candles. I love to come home and to light all of my candles, turn off the lightswitch, and read by candlelight. There is something very comforting and soothing about that. I guess it's one of those girl things!

Tomorrow I get to go back up to Fargo for another 3 weeks of school. We have TBS 2nd and 3rd degree ritual tomorrow evening. I got my paddle all done for my little brother, and I must say that I did a damn good job on it. Too bad we can't "officially" use them, as no hazing is allowed. They always go and suck the fun out of life!

Monday night the Jazz Ensemble is playing at the mall for about half an hour. Our brass quintet also have to perform for 2 of the Madrigal Dinners. And with the Symphony Ball on Saturday, I have a pretty full week. I'm trying to figure out when I'm going to get my Christmas shopping done!!!

Stupid technology!!!

So, I tried a week or two ago to update this thing, but something was going wrong, and it wouldn't let me. Anyway, I am home for Thanksgiving, and I just got back from my aunt's house where we ate a lot of food, talked for a bit, and now I am here. I'm listening to Jamie Cullum right now, and I highly recommend him. Great stuff (www.jamiecullum.com). Check it out. I would show you a picture of him, but for some reason I can't get pictures to come up on here... Stupid technology...


Anyway, next Saturday is the FM Symphony Ball, in which I get get all pretty, see some really nice cars, see expensive things being sold in the silent auction, and watch really rich people get drunk as the night progresses. This is the only fundraiser the Jazz Ensemble has every year, so we all have to be present for it. We valet park, hand out tickets, and guard the silent auction stuff. We do have down time, and sometimes we get the opportunity to dance with the rich peoples. Overall, it is a tiring night, but a fun one.

I only have a few weeks left of school, and I can't wait for it to get done with. I am sick of school, and I just want it to end. I would be perfectly happy just teaching private lessons and tending to my horses for the rest of my life. Have a nice little house in the country, have a good husband and my two twin children (because twins run in the family and I know I'm going to get them). It just feels like I am never going to get out of school. I have met some of my best friends here though, but I am starting to feel like one of the old people that are going to be there forever. I have seriously been considering just getting my general music degree just so I can get out. But I know that's not gonna happen, so I will just suffer through and get my education degree.

Tomorrow me and my parents are getting the Christmas tree. Mom is getting tired of decorating it by herself so we are going to get it while I'm home so I can help her decorate the house. And that is it for now.... :)
