So I'm supposed to be doing my music lit homework right now and I'm probably going to regret not doing it....but I seem to be all about procrastination right now, that and the popcorn I've commandeered from Lerin. Some of it just flew out of my mouth and hit the screen. Gross. But don't worry I have properly sanitized the screen so we're good.
I am so excited for Thanksgiving break it's almost unbearable, or at least it feels like it sometimes. The thing is though I get a whole week off, I have to practice for two hours a day including on Thanksgiving and also I have an insane amount of homework to complete. Blarg.
BUT! On Friday which is TOMORROW after I get home I am going to watch the New Star Trek movie with Kimber, which I am way too excited about.....and I'm hopefully going to find my way to West Valley to visit Cali while I'm home....Jodie is going to give me a tour of the new high school. Well half. Well, what happened is they're making major modifications to the one we have. Like tearing down most of it...only problem is students also have to go to school while this is happening...so it's kinda crazy. It'll be interesting to see what they've done....
Ya. So that's pretty much all I have to say but I wanted to update. Oh maybe I'll put something about my week. I'm happy to report that I am kicking piccolo butt more than it's kicking my butt and though I have lots of work still to do, I think I may actually perform something I can be proud of.
All my other classes are boring. Well not really I just don't feel like thinking about them right now. I just want to go hoooooooooooooooooome.
K that's about all I can think of for now. Just felt like updating so I did. Bye!

Hello there my neglected blog!
I'm sorry I haven't updated you lately Mr. Blog!
...although I have no idea why I'm referring to you like you're a person.........
....and also if you were to have human characteristics you would be female...cuz I am....and this is....my...life....ok whatever I'm putting way too much into something very irrelevant.
The point is, I have not updated this in awhile. And boy has a lot happened.
First things, I am going on a mission. Wow. Like it doesn't really seem real to me yet. But when I go home in the winter instead of going back to school it'll probably hit. I've already sold my contract and I'm going to apply for deferment, or whatever, I'm going to go to the school admin and defer my schooling on account of a mission. And since this is a church school they actually encourage this sort of thing instead of making it difficult so that's nice.
My roommate Nyssa is also going on a mission and, truth be told that was probably the turning point that convinced me to go on one as well, but I have been thinking about this for a very long time, since before Cali's wedding. I didn't think I would do it so soon though. I was sure I was going to be here winter semester. I suppose the Lord has other plans for me, and if that's so I'm content to go along with them. :) Wow.
So that means I'm now going to mission prep classes and temple prep classes, the works. I'm learning lots, I love it. Also I've officially started filling out my papers so that's exciting. I hope to have them in soon after Thanksgiving.
Ok, so what else is happening in my life? Lots of music.....but thats normal. I'm playing piccolo in the symphony band and it's kicking my butt. But never fear, I will have that piccolo's butt kicked by the time the concert comes along. It's going to be awesome.
I've kind of just fallen into a routine that I do over and over and over as I go through my life. Classes, homework, practice, class, practice go home and do more homework. Not that it's a bad thing but I don't really have a life except I go over to Marisa's every once in awhile to watch movies or something.
Oh, I did go with Marisa to her hometown of Jerome, Idaho for a weekend. That was fun...I learned a lot about life, and also weird as it seems, I learned kind of what it's like to be a not-Utah Mormon. We played in her sacrament meeting for her boyfriends farewell which was fun. We went to a party and played pool, watched too many movies and went four wheeling. Oh and her mom is an AMAZING cook. We had homemade pizza the first day, potato bacon soup the second, and oh shoot. I want to say Thai food but it wasn't Thai. It was something like that though. I shall have to ask her.
Tonight was my FHE brother's birthday so we made him dinner...Hawaiian haystacks and spice cake cupcakes. Delicious, I ate way too much. In fact I think I'm going to go get the leftover olives and eat them. Ha ha ha ha!!! What an evil person I am.
Mmmmm munch munch. Ok what else. Tomorrow I don't have school til eleven thirty yay! (Which is extra great because I usually have to be at school at seven fourty five.)
Ok I can't think of anything else except I really can't wait for Thanksgiving break! But weirdly enough I also kind of want time to go slower because this is potentially the last semester I will spend with the roommates I have and that will be sad. :(
Oh can't end this on a bad note. Something good.....perhaps just that I am very grateful for the experiences I've been able to have and the people that have blessed my life. I'm not sure what to expect next but I'm going to face it boldly and walk forward with my head held high.
Hopefully it won't be so long before I update this again. 'til then.
