School is almost over!

Yesterday was crazy, but it was THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL which was VERY cool. Now the little thing called finals... No problem right?

I got the Joy Allen and James C. Quinn Endowed Piano Scholarship in the GSR award ceremony yesterday--the funny things is that I can't get the endowment ($1,500) because I have the tuition waiver.

However, my name will be put on a plaque in the music building with all the other people who have gotten that scholarship.

I managed to forget what time studio class was yesterday so I wasn't there. *head bang* I felt SO BAD. Why did I forget for the first time on the last day of my sophomore year? Why? I can only quote the icon that Elise shared with me awhile back--"Can't brain today, have the dumb." I also found out that I wore mismatched earrings all day. If anyone noticed and didn't tell me (thanks a lot palls) , I hope they thought it was a bold fashion statement. So, I got an award, accepted it in mismatched earrings, and forgot about studio class all in one day. WHY AM I SO STUPID SOMETIMES?

Last night it stormed in the early hours of the morning. I was really deeply asleep when one particularly spectacular BOOM jolted me awake. I thought the world had ended and Jesus had come back. To bad--I really don't want to take the finals I have on Monday...

Mummy and I went shopping at K-Mart for suitable shirts to wear in Zambia. I sometimes have a hard time finding shirts that fit well, are long enough in the body and sleeves, and that I can afford. I am trying to build up a good wardrobe as I can afford it. The professional look is a slight drawback to my major... I don't understand why they make shirts so short now! I have a longer torso than a lot of people just because I'm tall, so you can imagine how short things are one me if they are short on an average person... I am convinced that clothing designers are raised in special environments where all they never actually see human beings or where they only see the stereotypical woman (which I have seen very few of in the wild outside of TV).

I can't believe that I am leaving in a little over a week! Hauling off to the other side of the world is a big event and I am so caught up in the big events of my life right now that I havn't really had time to process the full magnitude of what I am going to do and what needs to be done to make it happen. I never seem to really have the time to process mission trips before they happen--maybe its better that way?

I have a CRAZY weekend and tomorrow I am going to hear Natalie's AMAZING piano recital. So, I leave you with this last important piece of advice--

Don't Panic!

Root Canal’s aren’t so bad…

..but still not my favorite thing.

After the grueling dentist visit yesterday (it took about 45 minuets for the dentist to fix the crown they messed up for my mom—I got a little nap while the anesthesia took hold) Mummy and I went to Barron’s.Here in East Texas we really don’t have many classy tea places, so we enjoy visiting Barron’s.Barron’s is the classy boutique/tea room/book store/decoration’s store.We sat right by the Godiva candy case which seemed like a good idea at the time, but as the steady parade of Valentine’s shoppers continued we began to wish we were sitting elsewhere.I found two cool books on the bargain shelf—I Kissed Dating Goodbye and the Oxford Kings and Queens of Britain reference book.The really cool thing was that it was just over $5 for both of them!I love finding good books at low prices.

I watched an interesting movie Sunday night—Zulu.While not 100% accurate it was still interesting.My two favorite lines were a very posh British Officer barking at his men, “Nobody said you could stop working!” as they were barricading their little fort from the Zulu’s and the same officer saying (can’t remember the exact words), “Hi!I saw you ___, your alive!” to a man who didn’t answer the roll call at the end of the action.We had three MK’s over for supper last night, Pete, Jamin, and Ben, who saw part of/half of/all of the movie (in that order).I enjoy MK’s—we should get some over at ETBU to make it cooler!It was interesting finally getting got see Zulu since it is one of my grandfather’s favorite movies.Final verdict—I liked it.Who couldn’t like posh British officers?

It has been so long since I was on here...

I haven't posted on blogger for some time--mainly because I like my Xanga better. If you really want to know what is going on in my life go here here, and if you don't have a Xanga account leave comments on this site. My webpage (which I am really going to try to keep current) is here. There a lot of pictures of things I have made recently under "Dragon Treasures". Once more, school calls!
