So I've been pretty busy, but it's slow at work right now so I'll try to catch up.
Saturday Jacob and I did our Valentine's Day stuff. But first I accompanied my flute student at Solo and Ensemble. She got a gold! Jacob and I went to see Valentine's Day, and it was PACKED. The movie itself was ok. It was cute for what it was. Definitely not as good as Love Actually, though. For dinner we went to Mexico, so all the workers could see my novio nuevo :) haha
Sunday morning we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast with Luann, Chan, Frankie, and Phil. That was fun. I miss people. Then I had my Rose-Hulman band concert, which went well despite not making it to the last three rehearsals in a row... and I won't see them again until the concert on the 13th of March! and then it's musical time :)
After that we went to the mall and did some shopping. Went to the new shoe store, and got Jacob part of his birthday present early - red high top Chucks! To match his red hoodie :) We also tried to go to White Castle, but failed to make a reservation, so we drove thru instead and ate in the Old Navy parking lot, although we didn't get to go to Old Navy because they closed early... but we did go to Books a Million!
Monday 351 was canceled because Dr. Dean is sick :( Which meant I had more time to do my sociology homework for my online class that was due that day :) I might or might not have procrastinated again... Work was normal, and my flute lesson went well. There was lots of snow plus President's Day so I didn't have my flute lesson with Brooke, and Sinfonietta was canceled, so I spent the rest of the evening doing my sociology homework, and turned it in at 11:59:55 pretty much. I got a 100% on it!
Yesterday went to the string divisional recital, then listened to Dr. Cobb Lippens' announcement about budget cuts and stuff. Doesn't really affect me. Our quiz in Spanish was a group quiz. We also cut and pasted our answers, so that was fun! Orchestra was Bach only, which means I got to leave a little early after we did all my movements. Then Jacob and I got Arby's for dinner, then had the flutio. Kevin had a couple pages mixed up, but we recovered well and you couldn't really tell, except that Kevin appeared flustered lol oh well, 4 weeks until my recital!
Today has been a normal day so far. 351, and I'm at work now. Left work to go get fitted for the Fusion show for a bit. Not much to do around here, hence the update!
Tonight is dress recital for the orchestra concert tomorrow, after I go to Fusion for a bit... and I'm missing the Arabic movie for LLL. *sigh* I am always so busy!
countdown to Gulf Shores: 2 weeks and 5 days!

Babysitting!
I brought my computer to babysitting so I could work on my online class, but I feel like it might be a distraction... oh well!
Wednesday Mom, Jacob and I ate at Beef O'Brady's because Jacob had a gift certificate. I showed him the picture of me on the wall :) well, of the entire marching band my senior year of high school, but still. I'm in it. :) Then I finally got my oil changed, thanks to my awesome mommy, but they wouldn't change my headlight :( but Clint said he would! so that's good.
I had Fusion after that. First rehearsal of the semester! We're dancing to Tik Tok, which makes me happy. We learned quite a bit of the dance (after working out our abs, legs, and arms... boy am I sore) but lost our room 45 minutes early because we didn't have it officially reserved.
Yesterday I had to go to school early to set up Linking Language Learner's book and bake sale. It was kind of scary at first because we didn't have that many baked goods, but it seems to have been another successful sale. We're having another one in April, so we'll have raised a lot of money this semester, which is good.
Then I went to the convo, which was pretty good, and I am that much closer to getting all my convo credits done! Dr. Dye almost didn't hand me a slip cos she didn't think I needed any more :( Sorry to disappoint! Oh well.
Then finally had my classes... had a quiz in Spanish which was easy and talked about fun stuff in Linguistics, too. She asked me if I would be interesting in tutoring, so I might be doing that soon. I can imagine grammar would be harder to teach to native speakers, so it will be a good experience :)
Then orchestra, then I got dinner in the towers with Clint. I love free food, especially when it's all you can eat. Unfortunately there wasn't much there, except for some potatoes O'Brien... oh boy. deeeeeeeeeeelish. But to make up for it I went to Steak n Shake with Jacob when he got off work so don't worry; I didn't starve.
Today was a surprisingly pleasant Friday. 351 went well and I know German and I can get this stuff better than the last stuff for some reason. Then work, which wasn't too bad, and I had to leave early anyway for the walk around concert for the high schoolers. Played the overture to the Magic Flute w/orchestra. Flubbed the tuning note. It was kinda funny, albeit embarrassing. Then practiced for a bit on my own, then with Kevin since we're performing on Tuesday in the Flutio.
Jacob went to work at 5 so I've just been catching up on some of my TV shows until babysitting. I forgot to get food, but Jacob & I will get food after I'm done anyway. Tomorrow is the Solo and Ensemble make up date. Then Jacob & I are doing our Valentine's Day stuff, since I have a concert for Rose-Hulman band on Sunday.
We're trying to do really corny things for our first Valentine's Day together. (Although it's not a big deal to me, I kind of missed celebrating Valentine's Day!) We're going to see Valentine's Day (the movie lol) and go to Real Hacienda for dinner, which I'm excited about, since last week they were very talkative and questioning about my love life. I gotta show off my new man candy! Just kidding! :) Even though we ate there on our first date? But we haven't been there much since.
Sunday if I'm not too tired is Cracker Barrel with the gang for breakfast and then my concert at 2:30. So many performances lately! Orchestra today, accompanying my student tomorrow, Rose-Hulman Band Sunday, Flute recital Tuesday, and Orchestra Concert Thursday! Good thing tomorrow is laundry day; I had to do some interesting improvisation to look semi-dressy today. I haven't had to dress up since Christmas. I don't even know where my black pants are.
Well I think that's a sufficiently lengthy update for now. Until next time!

Snow!
So Monday was a normal Monday. class, and work, and having a flute lesson, and teaching a flute lesson! Dinner at Applebee's to support ACDA, and I got to see Jacob briefly! then Sinfonietta. We were in sectionals. I'm really worried, because our concert is in less than 4 weeks and it doesn't sound like it's getting any better... I hope it was just the cold weather. I don't know. Then I went to the rec center with Luann and did 2 miles on the elliptical in 18:44. I was pretty impressed with/proud of myself.
Yesterday was a not normal Tuesday. There was snow and more snow and I didn't get to participate in any of my classes. But orchestra was fun because we just did the Bach with soloists, and I got done a little early. Then had a quick dinner with Jacob before he had to work. I stayed home from Rose-Hulman band because of the scary snow.
Although I hoped & prayed that we would get a snow day today, we didn't. Sooooo I am pretty mad at the snow, cos I still had to take my 351 test, and my toes have been wet all day. And I have dance tonight and I don't wanna come back to campus in this dumb snow for it :( and it means I have to miss International Poetry Night again.
In other news, I am only 2 episodes behind on Desperate Housewives now, and I am 135 pages in (out of 451) on El amor en los tiempos del cólera so go me!

Super Bowl Sunday
Slept in today. Tried to get up for breakfast with -uchan and the guys, but I hadn't gotten 7 hours of sleep yet so that failed!
Jacob and I went to the mall so I could get another journal for all the awesome things he says that I write down, as well as the new Joan Bauer book. I got a cute dress from Aeropostale, too. It doesn't have pockets, though. Although I did find some adorable ones with pockets at American Eagle, but they're too expensive to justify getting yet.
We had a late lunch at Arby's then went to Wal-Mart. I got Beverly Hills Chihuahua on DVD for 10 bucks! can't wait to watch it with Pebbles :)
Jacob's at work now but I think we're getting IHOP after. I could so use some chocolate chip pancakes!
Oh & apparently the Colts lost the super bowl. I didn't watch lol

weekend?
so I've been pretty busy I guess the past couple of days. Thursday I got my DARS stuff figured out with Dr. Kilp and I am a little more reassured about finishing up everything this semester. Worked out with Luann (and Clint for 3.5 seconds) at the rec center later on. I did 3 miles on the elliptical in 35 minutes! I am pretty proud of myself.
Friday I had a make-up flute lesson since I forgot my flute on Monday. Oh and finally got my form turned in so my recital is definitely Tuesday, March 16th at 7:30 pm! Mark your calendars! And I talked to Dr. Piechocinski and I 99% probably will not have to retake the Keyboard Proficiency Exam. Even practiced with Kevin for a bit. I'm playing on his recital as well, but I don't know when that is yet.
Then I found out the alumni game was postponed due to weather :( and I had to take Jacob in to work for an hour. Then we got all the way to Little Caesar's & I realized I had left my wallet at home... so instead we got food from Kroger and had a night in, in which I demolished season 5 of Desperate Housewives :) finally ready for this current season!
Today Jacob had to work so I had lunch with Chandana at Real Hacienda. The workers were very talkative today :) someone even professed their love for me, so that was exciting! Then Jacob made me chicken and noodles for dinner :) Quite the keeper! then I babysat and just got home a bit ago. I got a lot of reading done in El amor en los tiempos del cólera, so that's good.
Tomorrow = homework! First 351 exam on Wednesday! But for now, it is bedtime :)

busy Thursday!
so I had two quizzes in my two classes today, and each one was equally smote by me. Or so I hope. now I'm just killing time until I'm meeting with Dr. Kilp to get my DARS all taken care of... It still thinks I need to take 4 semesters of flute lessons (272) and class piano (195, 196) which I do not. Then I will be THAT much closer to graduating!!!
I am pleasantly booked this evening. Orchestra until 5:30, Linking Language Learners at 6, going to the rec center at 8 so I can work out while I watch my Thursday night NBC comedies :) busy, busy, busy!!!
Tomorrow night is homecoming at my high school, aka the alumni pep band game! yes, pep band game. I cannot WAIT! I still have the school song memorized. I am so proud of myself.
4 weeks from tomorrow spring break begins! which means 4.5 weeks until Jacob & I leave for Gulf Shores. I am pretty pumped about that. Still have a lot to do before then, though...

Let's try this again!
I've had some sort of blog since March 30, 2004... in fact I had the same blog from then until the last time I posted in it which was July 7, 2009... along with some others, but that was the consistent one. I feel like it's time for something new, so instead of trying to update my old blog (whose URL includes a nickname I tried to give myself and my boyfriend at the time's birthday), I'm starting this one!
so I'm just going to jump right in. I'll mostly update this while I'm at work, as that's where I am now. Downtime while waiting for assignments = boredom. Boredom = starting to blog again. Hence, downtime while waiting for assignments = starting to blog again. Transitive property.
I'm in (hopefully) my last semester as an undergrad here at ISU. Still not sure what I'll be doing in the fall... I have ideas, but we'll see.
