when you wish upon a star...

I've already started planning a trip to Disney for next September. I'm really super excited about this...I can't wait to go. I want to go this September, but that's just not an option. I don't have the money to do it, and I have too much other stuff going on right now. I figure in a little more than a year, I'll have the money, and I'll have a whole year's worth of pent-up energy to go, that I will probably have a much better time.

But seriously, I'm gonna be the happiest girl on earth at the happiest place on earth! I'm so excited.

and when he does his shaky rockin' dance, man I haven't got a chance

I intended to wake up this morning around 6/6:30 and leave the house by 7/7:15 with my mom, and she would drop me off at the train. But mom works at a catholic school and had off today, however she woke me up to make sure I would still get to school and do my work.

I chose to sleep a little bit longer.

Which resulted in me not leaving the house until about 10:15/10:30. I got to school around 12, and that turned out to be a plus because I picked up extra grad. tickets, practiced Shenandoah with cathleen a bit, and discussed recital details with keith. I got virtually none of my work done, though, but I'm doing that now (or not doing that because I'm writing here).

Then I had my percussion lesson to go over recital pieces. I still need to run a couple things with people, but as for my other pieces, I'm good. I feel really good about them. I hope the recital rocks.

We had choir rehearsal. I love when diane gives out compliments here and there, because it's kind of rare when that happens. she basically kind of praised mt in a weird way even though she was pissed about missing people, and she explained the importance of the group and why we should actually show up to things - because we are privileged and stuff. I agree with her. I would've done a better singing job on Lollipop if not for the fact that my voice was basically gone. I was singing the trio part and I kept thinking, "wow my voice doesn't sound anything like it should. huh."

Then....my night got a bit on the worse side. I was on the phone with a friend of mine who told me she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Insert concern/worries/on the verge of tears feelings. :( I really hope things go well when she goes to talk with the surgeon tomorrow, but I'm so worried for her. Please keep her in your prayers.

I'm extremely tired, even though I drank a cup of moderately strong coffee. I need to be awake for a couple of more hours so I can work on the bulk of this paper. It's due any time tomorrow, as long as it's tomorrow, but I just don't seem to want to write it. It has to be 20 pages (at least) and I'm on page.....12? That's with a different font (Calibri?) and I hope she doesn't realize it. I mean....if she says anything about it, I'll just have to tell her that my computer sets it to that, and that because I've been typing with that font for so long now, I didn't even realize it (which is partly the truth, and it doesn't say ANYWHERE on the handouot that we HAVE to use TNR).

I just can't wait for tomorrow to be over with. Actually, I'd love to skip the whole morning and afternoon, and head right to the evening, so I can sing and play my little heart out at rehearsal. I wish this paper was done. I should've started writing it months ago.

But I'm a procrastinator. It's what I do best.
