it's been a wonderful day. really. i cannot express enough how good a day it was. and the great thing is, we're almost done with this semester of school!! after 4 1/2 more days of school, i will be halfway done with my junior year. how cool is that??? i'm excited. also, everything just seems to be going pretty well. if i can just manage to fit in two more projects in my schedule, plus some studying for exams, i should be home free. oh, and i have to read the grapes of wrath before january 6th. hopefully i can read it fairly quickly. in fact, i think i will devote the rest of my free-time in class to reading it, so my break can be worry-free, at least as far as school goes. really all i have to do is get my self into my work mode until wednesday. except friday and saturday night--those nights i can have fun and not worry about life at all. i'm really kind of in work mode already--i've always been that "freak" who enjoys learning, and actually kind of likes to study and do homework...i only complain about it because i'm lazy, when in fact it is truly not that bad of an experience, because i know i'm learning, and i love to learn.
anywho.....since i am quite doubtful anyone cares to hear about my study habits, i will just say a few things more. i am loving beauty and the beast rehearsals...granted it's not fun to stay after school until 6:30 or later, but i like how it's starting to fit together somewhat. also, my favorite part of this week: yesterday, i got the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King extended edition dvd!!! i'm so flippin excited. i've only watched a little over an hour of it so far, because my parents refused to let me stay up really late just to watch a 4 hour movie that i've "already seen". bah. there happen to be 50 mins. of it that i have never seen before. hence the excitement!! i have been waiting for this for SO LONG!!! i was pretty much jumping up and down as i waited for the dvd player to start playing the movie. and what i've seen of it is wonderful--but, i mean, really....how could it not be!! i love Lord of the Rings!!!
well now i really should go...i'm putting off some of that homework which i enjoy so much. lol. laters!!!
