2 weeks.

Nothing makes me more excited for Winter than getting Winter gear!! Actually, there are more things to get excited about the cold weather than just buying stuff... but you get my point.

Oh man, two more weeks and I am done for the semester! I still have some papers that I need to write (which I am going to do after I finish this entry).

I love walking around the city during winter with a friend. It's a ton of fun. I cannot wait for the snow and have crazy snowball fights! It's going to be great! I need to finish this semester with a bang.

I've came to the conclusion that for the most part, I worked really hard in all my classes and I gave my best. There are some exceptions and no, they are not unforgivable. Till this day, I am slapping my head for my carelessness. But overall, I tried. When it came to writing papers, I always gave 100% and my grades reflected that. I basically got an A for my medieval journals and right now, I have about a B-. Which, when I look back, it's not so bad. I did terrible on my facilitation (thanks to my partner), and in the first quiz. I didn't do so hot in my "research" paper but other than that, everything was fine. I am mad about my participation grade being a 9/10. It's not my fault that I am sometimes late to class. I miss the bus, I keep on eating in the dining hall... whatever. All I have to worry about is the final and if I do sexy on that, I'll be in good shape.

As far as other classes, I have more places where I can redeem myself. That's where the papers and the other short quizzes come in. Next semester, I am going to work so hard, harder than I did before. I think I need to stop being so cool, calm and collected about class work. I mean, I try my best, yet, I'm still not satisfied. Next year, it is going to be different story. I can guarantee that. And heck, during the Spring semester, I always improve anyways.

I'm not sure what I am going to do during Winter Break though. It's nice knowing that you don't have any school work to worry about during Winter Break. It is surely a good feeling and I will be taking advantage of that. I really want a job, to be honest. I need to raise money for either a.) the Cadets b.) May term trips c.) Car

The Cadets, as you may know, as an opening for an electric cello part. I know, crazy isn't it? But it's true and since the Cadets are only accepting Bass 4 and 5, it would be feasible to try out for electric cello. In addition, there is a Soprano solo in the beginning of the show. And since I like to sing and I'm a lyric soprano (I guess?) I thought, "Why not?" So I am going to the December camp. I'm excited because I will be seeing familiar faces. I'm not sure how everything is going to work out considering playing a cello and singing during camp isn't really kosher for the Cadets.

Okay so I JUST applied to Borders. Thank goodness that they are now accepting resumes!

Anyways, with answering all those questions, I'm not sure what else to write about...maybe except the fact that I am going to be home in TWO WEEKS!! WOOOOOH!!!!
