Life

Hey all! Okay. So this week was interesting.  It started out okay. We recorded on Mon and Wed of this week in LDV.  I hate recording because I get so annoyed by everyone when they talk and when they don't pay attention to the music and they sing it wrong every time. Don't get me wrong, I am not perfect with our songs (by any stretch of the imagination) and I don't expect anyone else to be...but  learn to count!  Okay that's my rant on that!  Oh and we recorded in Institute Choir yesterday... that was an interesting experience for me.  It was so very different than other recording sessions both this year in LDV and last year in both choirs... I was freaking out a bit because we wasted a lot of time... we "finished" and hopefully it will sound good! Plus it was interesting because until yesterday I hadn't really had the opportunity to sing either of the songs that we recorded. We worked on them less recently and I was always busy doing "administrative" stuff... Pretty much I was busy organizing other things for the choir and never really got the opportunity to learn them!  It made me realize that I should probably assign myself a folder and take the music home to practice it!  

So Monday night I was able to register for all my classes for next semester but one, for which I had to take an English Usage Exam as a prerequisite.  I took the exam on Tuesday, passed it and was able to register for the class later Tuesday evening.  So I am officially registered for next semester, 18 credits!  I'm excited, people keep telling me I'm insane but 3 of the classes are math based 2 credits are gym classes and I need to fill my time so I put it to better use!  Plus I am really excited about my whole schedule next semester.. by no means is it a "walk in the park" but I like a bit of a challenge.

I've met with my Econ group once this week, we have another meeting today, to work on our "research paper" and hopefully we'll be able to finish up by the end of the weekend and hand it in on Tuesday for some extra credit... but only if it's a high quality paper by then!

I worked Tuesday and Wednesday so far this week. Work is going really well.. I am at a point (only a month in) where I feel like I am pretty comfortable with everything.  I should be getting some more hours during the Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks, because a lot of people are going home or have requested time off during those times.  So that will be nice.  I'm excited to have enough money to pay for my last rent payment!!!!

I FINALLY got my laundry done...I've been so busy (and I have to go to the Laundromat to get my laundry done) that I was literally running out of clothes, I had no real socks left, I was making things work... I'm not kidding it was ridiculous! It's finally all clean, now I just need to put it away! Haha.. that will be a project for Saturday morning I think!

I've decided that I need to stop trying to date for a while... I have been fairly unsuccessful as of late. I am just going to have fun and work and go to school, and I am going to just relax a bit.  If someone comes along I wont ignore them but I am done actively pursuing for the time, I need to relieve some stress and I think this is the biggest contributor currently!  Don't worry I haven't given up, I'm just taking it easy for a bit... I invest way too much emotionally into TRYING to date and I am just going to minimize that investment for a small while... Plus... I want to be pursued and I want to be wooed... and that's rarely the case... I usually put in way more effort than most girls have too and yield less results, so I am going to just chill for a bit!

Other than that...not too much has happened this week... I think I will try to update once a week with some of the highlights of the week and occasionally I will post during the week, when something big happens!  I'm sad that I don't get to go home for Christmas this year, and even more sad that I probably wont be able to come home until probably June the earliest, but I am excited for the new experiences it will open me up to!  I miss my friends and family back home, but I love my friends and "family" in Utah!  I hope everyone has a great week. TTFN!
