Oops...it's been a month...

Haha. I forgot about my blog for a month. Oops.

November has been absolutely crazy BUT now, I have a 4 day weekend!!!

I don't have much to say besides that I am a music geek. It's pathetic, really. Today, I went skating with my friends and we were having lots of fun, but just as they were about to go and watch GILMORE GIRLS (!), I had to go home because I had to go to a piano lesson. And you know what I had to bring to piano?? MY FRICKEN SAX. BECAUSE I AM PLAYING MY SAX AT THE PIANO RECITAL. AHHH. AHHH.

It was pretty funny though, because for like 10 minutes, my sax wouldn't work ( I had forgotten that all my reeds are dead except for one)...so I spent that 10 minutes searching for it as Earl gave me dirty looks.

I had my first exam this week. Well, it was only really part of an exam: module 1,2 and 3 essay question! Guess what it was?

Describe the effects of the fur trade.

The effects of the fur trade! I even had a mnemonic for that one. It was:

D
A
F
E
E
P
W

:)

But I'm going to lost a few percent because I crossed out 4 words. Great.

Besides that, nothing else really happened this week. Or last week. Or the one before.

OH, IT WAS ANNE'S BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ANNE! :D

Yup, that's about it. It is now time for a cool picture.

Ahhh...summer....

Skating lately has been extremely weird. One day, my jumps will be amazing and the next they will SUCK. It's so strange and very annoying because I KNOW I can do the jumps, but on the sucky days, I just don't. Hopefully Saturday will be a good day. The judge at Cote St Luc on test day is EVIL though, so my coach pulled me out for my freestyle and skills tests...I'm going to wait until March I guess. BUT, I'm testing my American for the 5th...yes, 5th time on December 8...ahhh...

Ok, well I have to go and watch Grey's Anatomy now, even though I think it's going to be a re-run. Hopefully I will post again sometime soon....

Wilson:That smugness of yours really is an attractive quality.
House: Thank you. It was either that or get my hair highlighted. Smugness is easier to maintain.

I got a rock...

I love Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin with a passion. But I MISSED THE EPISODE THIS YEAR!! IT'S INCREDIBLY DEPRESSING.

Ok this is going to have to be another brief post...as I am falling asleep. I am actually getting sick because I'm so tired. Yes, sick. I now have a cold. Fun, isn't it?

Today was a ped day, but I still had to go to school for a jazz band rehearsal. It was fun...I stole someone's solo in 25 or 6 to 4 (the coolest song in the world)...long story there :)

In a few weeks we have a music recital...I have sooooo much to learn for that....I shall make a list:

1) classical solo
2) jazz solo which I got today
3) small group chamber music
4) whole group chamber music
5) whole group jazz piece
6) learn a piece by ear..somehow..called TENOR MADNESS by the way :D

Joy joy joy joy.

TOMORROW I HAVE SKATING and I'm oddly excited. My double loop has been crap lately but my double salchow is getting sooo much better that it's worth sacrificing double loop for.

I found out that for the Jr. Bronze freestyle test, I have to do a split jump. That is somewhat problematic. Actually, it is extremely problematic. My split jump is the crappiest thing ever. It's actually quite funny to watch me do, because I look so pathetic. :D

Alright...well that's enough for now...it's only 9:36 but I'm going to bed...I'm wayyy too tired to stay up any longer. Maybe I will have a piece of birthday cake first, though. :D

More to come soon.

OH! I ALMOST FORGOT MY POSTLY PICTURE!!!

HOW COOL IS THIS?? I AM GETTING TACKLED. IN A RUGBY GAME. I LOOK VERY VERY UNHAPPY. BUT IT'S STILL COOL. VERY COOL. I WOULD BE THE ONE ON THE BOTTOM. WITH THE BROWN HAIR. YUP! THAT'S ME.

There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin. --Linus Van Pelt
