Impressive how.....

It's impressive how the kind of night that I wanted to have has happened such far. I wanted to have a calm, "boring" evening where i wasnt running around like a crazy person for once, and so far that has happened. I got to go to dinner at the stupid center with nate and v'ka, and v'ka paid for most of it since she has a lot of meal plans left (34 still). Some people I know from the music department, aka beth, nadine, luke, matt, and to chat. Now, after making some phone calls and not having them answered, I'm going to watch Fellowship of the Ring with veronika since she doesnt want to do anymore homework. Toodles people.

Last Day 'o Classes

YAY! the semester end is finally here. Now I get to study my butt off forever to take just 4 tests by next tuesday night, one of which i dont even have to take to get a C in the class. Thats awesome. I found this on melissa's away message today, and I find it funny. Its about girls and finals, and well.....i'll let it do the rest.

GIRLS ARE LIKE FINALS BECAUSE:
*you'd rather get an easy one.
*you get in a lot of trouble if you get caught cheating on one.
*if you are drunk when you do one, it takes a lot longer to finish.
*the less they have on them the better.
*they suck and/or blow.
*when you finish one, you have to immediately start preparing for the next one.
*if you have more than one scheduled at the same time, you have a problem.
*you have to put in a lot of effort for very little reward.
*nothing about them makes any fucking sense.
*they just lie there and you have to do all the work.
*when you are done you get up and leave.
*good curves make for a more enjoyable experience

Hehehehehehe. I laugh everytime i read it. I love you melissa. Another note from the last day of classes: in order to have all the materials that I will need for my thermo dynamics test tomorrow at 5 pm, I had to photo-copy, not 1, not 2, but 48 pages! forty-fricken eight!!! See this test is either open book or open note, which ever we decide to take into the test with us, but we cant have both. This professor, whom is also a giant dumb-tard, says that its ok for us to photocopy whatever we want out of the book and bring in and call it as part of our notes. I asked him what i should bring in and he said, "the tables from the back of the book." He wouldnt tell me anymore specifically than that. GRRR. so thats why i had to photo copy that many pages. *shakes fist*

I'm also finding it very funny that I havent seen any of my quartet members in 2 days (yes only 2) and i'm missing them terribly. Why is that? I know I only saw them everyday of the week for at least one hour. and sometimes it wasnt to practice, it was to consume that substance that we call beer/rum/tequilla/etc. Carmen and I were talking on the phone for a minute that winter break's going to be kinda hard without seeing them. I guess that tells me that going to Colorado this summer with them was the right choice.

Finally, Phil and I didnt ge tto go to Dubuque like i wanted to. He and I decided that we'll just gon on Saturday after I get done with my 8-10 am final and make a day/afternoon of it down there. So those of you expecting a christmas present sooner than that will just have to wait then wont you? But i g2g now peeps, Nate, V'ka and I among others are going to go to the student center for pizza tonight.

WELL.....since i finally have some time to post, i should do so for everyone in the world. I've been missed too much I can tell.

*sigh* Whew, I'm done with a marathon week of concerts. I had my last one tonight. It finished at about 9. It was by far the worst concert too. One of the cellists almost had his cello fly away from him, and everyone just could not hit a right note. Apparnetly the audience could not tell because everyone whom I talked to who was there said that it sounded great and that they want to be there for the next concert. The other concerts I had this week were, starting in order, 3 on tour from tuesday to wednesday, one friday night, and one on sunday. The concert on friday was jsut awesome. It was the UCO (University/Community Orchestra), and I've never heard us play so well. Sunday was great as well. It was the "Carmina Quartet" in concert, aka my quartet. It was the first time any of us had played in a concert that was just for the 4 of us. It was a great experience and we all had fun. For the people in winona, i'll have some pictures/psoters to show ya.

Speaking of my quartet, we're now going to be in Colorado for 9 weeks this summer. I mentioned it a while ago. I know i said it was in aspen, but i was wrong, it's in Estes Park (an hour or so from Denver). I was the only perosn holding up the quartet from saying "yes" to Benjamin about going this summer because I didnt know what was going to be happening with any possible internships this summer back at home. So after the concert, mom and I were talking and she helped me decide that I'm not going to get another chance like this ever again and that I need to take it now while the option is still available to me. So I decided that am going to say F*#$ it and "I'm going to colorado." Funny thing though: every single member of my quartet was SO relieved when i told them today that i decided that i was going. I knew that they were waiting on me and really wanted to go, i just didnt realize that they were that concerned about it. Carmen, for example, almost takled me in the student center when i saw her and lunch and asked her, "are your bags packed for colorado yet?" It's always fun to see a girl get that excited when you tell them something. I seriously havent gotten a hug like she gave me very often in my life. It was cool :)

One last thing before i forget: I got a AIM message from my friend jeff today. apparently my friends heard that I thought they had gotten pissed at me for not seeing them over thanksgiving break. He decided that he should message me to say that they werent actually and that whomever told me that was wrong. they missed me, but they also understood that I've got a lot of people to see and things to do, and that they really want to see me over christmas break. awwwwww, what great friends i have :).
