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!
