Only 20 more days!

Or is it nineteen now?  Whatever, I'm very close to the time when I can go home!  Of course, that still means finals but I only really have one because my other two don't count (it's just a presentation and a monologue).  Thanksgiving was a blast and a half - went to a fancy shmancy restaurant with a friend of mine and her mom and then came back and watched Friends all weekend instead of researching for my project about cocaine.  I also went to go see Flushed Away (after my thanksgiving shopping for family - I'm such a girl now, I've come to really love shopping if things are on sale) which was a hilarious and cute little movie.  My friends and I were the only people there who were older than 7 and did not have kids.  It was a blast!  But everything is so expensive over here!  I swear, nachos and a drink was $10.50 which still blows my mind!  Anywho, at work now, so I better go look busy....

So, today has been pretty much awesome, even if it's been one of the toughest days (AND someone stole my Harry Potter boxers from out of my bag!  I had to dance in just my leotard which was pretty embarrassing....I keep forgetting that the real world isn't York and I can't just leave my stuff in classrooms...)  I had my one and only midterm today in costuming and I think I aced it - even on the question I didn't know, I guessed and I think I at least got half credit.  Then I had Acting I and we finally moved on from monologues and started doing actual scenes!  I was getting kinda bored with just watching people again and again.  Even though I made some pretty good progress on my own monologue.  I went from there to choir, where we actually worked on the music, even if my throat was ready to die.  Then I had ballet and we started choreography for our recital at the end of the semester (and I'm almost able to do the splits!).  After that, I had a voice lesson where I kicked major butt because I wasn't nervous at singing at all!  My voice DID crack, but that was because I strained it in choir, and after I sang the song again, I was fine.  Now I'm at the library, I've done the study group for which I am being paid and I am about to be in a student film for the first time!  Although my dirty boxers were stolen, I still have had a blast today, especially hanging out with my friends.  Mostly because they said that they will kick the ass of whoever stole my boxers. 

Oh, and I forgot that I also went to the gym and climbed the rock wall there which was an AMAZING workout!  I think the endorphins are still kicking in because I'm still feeling really happy and energized.  So, I'm going to the gym tomorrow for the fitness marathon where they're giving out free food and massages (I could get used to this massage thing - we did a massage circle in ballet today).  Hopefully, this will mean more crunches, elliptical machine and rock wall!  I'm beginning to love exercising!
