The End is Near! The Beginning is Near!

Well, today is the last day/week of normal classes for me! Next week is finals week, then I am free as a bird! I can't believe how much I've accomplished this week! Well, this semester too! I don't want to get in woohoo-partytime mode quite yet, but the end is near! There is hope! Then begins summer break! I'm really looking forward to it! Especially since I get to kick it off by going on a musical retreat and recording some of my music! Soon, soon enough...

A Lesson Update...

Well, guess what? I got my test back today and I got a 98%! Not bad, uh? I guess I'm more smarter than I thought!

A Lesson Learned is A Lesson Learned...

So, life's been crazy lately! It is now less than a month until school is done for the semester! And you know what that means...woohoo party time? Not quite yet! It means me freaking out about all these assignments that I have to complete within the next couple weeks including those few things I should've been working on for the past month or two(oh, the life of a procrastinator!). Anyway, so in my frantic state yesterday, I was studying for a test I just got done taking a bit ago. By time I got to class this morning, I was feeling pretty good, thought I knew the materials, knew what I was going to write. So, I get the test and it said it was over chapters 4, 5, and 11. Well, I studied chapters 6 and 7-I somehow looked at the syllabus for a different class and drilled myself on the wrong chapters all along! Instead of throwing my arms up in a rage, screaming "Why!?! Why me? Why this!?!" and creating a scene and possibly scaring my classmates, I played it cool. I actually think I did pretty decent on the test, especially considering I didn't even read those chapters! Luckily, I'm a good listener in class and came to some conclusions through previous lectures. And after, I felt good about it. I did the best that I could, plus I learned some new things from the chapters I 'didn't have to read.' I also learned that I need to look at the right syllabus next time! A lesson learned is a lesson learned...

Worth writing about...me!

So I have another first to add to my list...the first time someone wrote a song about me! My newfound love went on a music retreat this past weekend. He spent 3 days by himself in a "little wooden box" as he calls it, others would call a cabin. He brought his instruments, recording equipment, and went to town! Well, not literally. He literally went out of town to do this to be away from all humans. Anyway, he recorded four new songs, one of which is about me! It is so beautiful, it made me cry! I'd tell you the lyrics, but you'll just have to hear it sometime! Also, for my birthday present (which is slightly early to talk about but he wanted me to be able to plan for it), he is renting a little cabin for me so I can create and record my own music!!! Exciting, huh?
