The good, the bad, and the jogging

The Good
* Got into Opera in the Ozarks for the summer! It's a great program and I'm both excited and super nervous. *eeeee!*
* Got financial aid from OIO which is also great!
* Survived midterms. Just barely.
* The weather has been quite warm (50s! WOOT) and thanks to Daylight Savings time, the sun has been shining until about 7:30 every night. ROCK ON!
* Mom is coming to visit meeeeee! Mom time!!!! YES!!
* I got an awesome grade on my Ear-Training test. Which is sort of a miracle and completely amazing. =D =D

The Bad
* Waiting to get my grade for the Baroque Midterm....I'm pretty sure it was a massacre, I'm just not sure I'm ready go out on the field and count the dead. *gulp*
* Tired....A week of spring break and I am still oh so very tired.
* After the hellaciousness that was Midterms I find that I am completely unable to relax because I know what is coming for me. Oooooooh the hellfire awaits me at the end of the next five weeks.....*shudder*

The Jogging
* Because the sunlight is lasting longer, when I get home it seems like there is so much more day left! Also, the weather has been great and Christy has been going jogging recently so.....
I'm thinking about jogging.
I hate jogging.
But it's really good for me! And I need to lose some weight if I expect to get into 'West Side Story' next year....
But I still hate it. *sets teeth*
It's also really embarassing. Mostly because you only ever see fit people running. I don't know where the chubby girls are hiding, but they are not outside.
I don't want to go out there and expose myself to ridicule by jiggling my wobbly bits all over the place; and let me assure you, anything above a swift stride and the jiggling reaches epic proportions.
Oy.
I don't know.
I probably won't.
*argh*

Anyway.
I've got a ton of stuff to do, and less time to do it in so.....
AWAY WE GO!

Cheers

Best movie description ever

I tivoed an Esther Williams and Howard Keel movie.
Esther Williams was the swimming star at MGM.
Howard Keel was a musical star.
Additionally it starred Marge and Gower Champion, ballroom dancing team.
It was called 'Jupiter's Darling'.

Here is the info the Tivo gave me...

*ahem*

"Roman general Fabius sends his swimming bride to stall an invasion by Hannibal and his elephants."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!
Of course. Of course he does.

Memo from God

Today God spoke to me through a music video.

I was having a super frustrating day.
My voice wasn't sitting.
At.
All.

I was being plagued by the French language again. (DEVIL LANGUAGE!)

And I felt like giving up.

I drove home trying not to cry.

Then on a whim I decided to youtube the new OK Go video.
Both Craig Ferguson and Josh Groban had mentioned it on twitter, so I typed in OK Go, let the search bar fill in the title of the song for me....

And then God sent me a gift.
A little note with a happy tune and marching bands...
And a message. Spelled out in cardboard squares.
...And I cried.

Because it's gonna be ok.
Thanks God.

Midterms

I have the most insane Midterms of all time coming up next week.

This week I am trying to prepare for them.

There is not enough time.

Not nearly enough time.

I'm at school all day, working and going to class.
I come home.
I try to do a little of each thing.
I sleep.
I start all over again.

Rather than getting anything fully done.
I'm getting everything not quite done.
*face plant*

I am currently maintaining a outward appearance of calm over my barely conceled panic.
It helps.

If I were to just flat out panic, it would be very hard to stop.

*knocks head against wall*

I'm just gonna sit down and cry when this is all over.


I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok
I just want to be ok today

I just want to know today, know today, know today
I just want to know something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be ok....
