random thoughts

ok, just a bunch of random thoughts that have been going thru my head lately, and other stuff. i spent a good part of my morning today planning (shocker!) my school work for the next couple months. i actually went thru it all and figured out what i'd need to do in order to be done before my surgery, and right now, i'm either going to be done on April 16 or 18, depends on if i decide to take off these two Friday's Nathan has off, cuz i usually go by his schedule. so this way, i will be done a week before my surgery, and have NO MORE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA! gosh but that will be fun to tease people about! college friends who won't be done til the middle or end of May, and HS friends who won't be done til the middle of June, haha! anyway, that's a happy prospect. other stuff going on...... let's see, me and my best friend are going to get together to celebrate valentines day, cept it's going to be a week late cuz of scheduling, but we're going to go see a movie, and maybe eat at the mall, prolly do some shopping, just have a good girly time, so i'm looking forward to that! oh oh oh!!! guess what i found out yesterday! did you know that trampoline is an actual sport? an olympic one at that???? at church last nite i saw Mr. Craig helping his 12 year old (i think) son Howie with his posture, hands straight up above his head, getting him perfectly straight, and i asked him what he was doing, and he started talking about how Howie was on the trampoline team. so i asked him about that, and found out that it's a real sport, an olympic one at that, he showed me a video he had on his palm pilot of Howie doing a double backflip at a meet that he won first place for, and told me about how this girl who was the olympic gold medalist was at their school and was helping Howie, and the coach doesn't let anyone under 14 do backflips, but he let Howie do it! it was such an interesting topic! we got talking about what we do on our trampoline, the games we've made up, the one we do blindfolded, ("now you guys are just crazy!" was his response hehe) but that was really cool. i seriously did not know it was a sport. you guys prolly all knew that already tho..... i'm always the last to find things out, it's rather depressing..... ok fine, so maybe it's not :+) anyway..... i love the Easter cantata we're working on right now, another new compostition by Mr. Shaw, it's such awesome stuff! i have to agree with my Dad, Easter is my favorite holiday, and part of that is from the music. course i love Christmas music, but Easter music is so amazing! in this cantata, there are such moving peices, mournful ones, i can't even begin to describe some of them, like when Jesus enters the temple that has been turned into a "den of thieves", the music is amazing. and of course, all the music for the resurection, oh my gosh, so incredible, it just fills you with this wonderful joy! during and after the Christmas cantata, i would go around the house, and work, and everywhere, singing parts of it, cuz it was just stuck in my head, i've only been to two rehearsals for the Easter one, but already, i'm singing some of the music randomly. course, i already know some of it. Mr. Shaw had written a few pieces for Easter a while back, and we've sung some of them in choir last year, and he used some of them, either in whole, or in part in his cantata, so that helps members of the choir who did them already. i can't wait!!!! it's going to be amazing, i'm telling you! i think it's going to be recorded, they recorded the Christmas one anyway. which is actually kinda sad, i know it was the premiere performance and all, but still, our choir is not exactly the greatest. oh well. i'm actually really tired right now. i was exhausted yesterday, so i took a 2 + 1/2 hour nap, which felt amazing btw, but of course, made it so i couldn't fall asleep till about midnite last nite. mrph. so now, i'm feeling in need of a nap, but i'm not going to do that to myself again. alrighty then, now it be's lunch time, so i shall end now.
(grr, ok, once again, the clock is messed up! why it doesn't stay with the same time, i will never know. first it was an hour off, can't remember in which direction, then it was an hour off in the other direction, then it was half an hour slow, then like 20 minutes slow, now it's something like an hour and 10 minutes or so slow, it does not make sense..... so right now it is 12:18, so i'm not eating an insanely early lunch or anything.)
