Tornado Lessons

School is over next week!  Just one hectic week of driving between Murray and Provo, rehearsals, moving all my stuff home, cleaning the apartment, and taking finals!  Then I'm free!!  Ah, it's such a wonderful....hopeful feeling.  :D
I woke up this morning feeling mildly anxious.  I procrastinate, a lot, and so right now my brain's a little like, holy crap, I have to finish everything real quick!  Whoops!  Hahaha, it's a problem sometimes.  So ya, the problem this morning was when I woke up thinking about the two tests I have to take this weekend, along with the fact that I have to attend two concerts this week for my music 101 class (week meaning before monday), one piano recital/performance for my piano class (not sure when this has to be done), and one show with tapping in it for, surprise, my tap class.  I was worried because I had no idea where I was gonna find two concerts this weekend, but to my relief during my break between classes I realized that I had been looking at the wrong date on the byu performances calendar.  Instead of there being absolutely no performances tomorrow, there are a million!  I was apparently looking at last week.  So moral of the story is that now I have two performances I can go to tomorrow.  Now I just need to find some tap and piano performance.  Any ideas?  Haha
But ya, finding those two concerts really took off a lot of pressure and annoyance from my brain. :P  I was kicking myself for saving them all for this weekend.  In my defense, I already did six of the concerts.  I actually had time to do all of them a long, long time ago, but hey, what am I gonna do about it now?  Exactly.  
Another thing that happened today, which was amazing, was the answer to an unspoken prayer.  :D  I had been hoping for something, but afraid to outright pray for it because it seemed stupid and all that jazz, but it totally worked out anyways!  I love it when that happens.  It makes me so grateful.  
So now the only thing I really have to worry about at the moment is driving back to Provo tomorrow.  I mean, driving here isn't the problem.  The problem is rationalizing having to make the extra trip to my parents.  Maybe we'll just keep this one a secret (shhh!).  I'm going back to Murray tonight, after I babysit my cousins, because I have rehearsal tomorrow morning.  Then I need to be in Provo for the concerts (at 2 and 7) and to take my two tests.  I guess it kind of works out well.  I was wondering how I was going to fit these tests in without coming back on Saturday, and now I don't really have a choice.  I bought a ticket to the concert at 7 tomorrow, so now I don't really have a choice of whether or not I should go.  I paid, so I'll be there.  Plus, it's kind of my last chance to go to a concert before the assignment's due....haha.
So basically, this is my unnecessary information from today that I felt the strange urge to share with ya'll.  Aren't you feeling pretty darn special right about now?  Good.  You should.  You should all also go check out Adam's website.  He's been posting little comics every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  Some are really funny, some are a little goofy, and some are just plain weird.  But hey, that's Adam, so what do you really expect?  It's worth it though, you should go look. 


And ya, everybody wish me luck on my tests, and with getting myself out of bed on time tomorrow morning.  Also, if anyone happens to randomly know of any piano recitals or concerts in the next few days, by all means let me know.  Or any showings of like, Thoroughly Modern Millie or Singin' In The Rain or something.  I doubt it, but I figured I'd check. 

Have a great weekend everyone!  :D

Short Trip Home

So I'm kind of sort of stealing Stacey's idea of having a song of the moment, but this is rather a song of the last million moments, if that makes any sense.  I've heard this song a lot lately and it's been stuck in my head.  I just think that it has some very interesting lyrics.  It's kind of cool to just listen to the lyrics rather than the song.  Anyways, I put it up here for your entertainment.  :D  I don't know how to add a song to my blog, otherwise I'd put it up for you to hear it too.  

The Story Of The Grandson Of Jesus

Today is a good day to flex the muscles of the weary.
A miracle's a miracle even when it's ordinary.
We will walk on the water even though it seems scary
If someone will show us the way.

I shook hands with the man who honestly thinks he's
The grandson of Jesus with a penchant for pinchies.
He served us communion of cola and twinkies
Guess everyone has their own view.

He stood on his soapbox and told us a parable
Of a man with eye-glasses so small they're unwearable,
And the moral of the story is that all looks terrible
Depending on what you look through, what you look through.

He said, "Do unto yourself as you do unto your neighbor.
It's not an eye for an eye, it's a favor for a favor.
And it's okay if this world had a billion saviors
Cause there's so many things to be saved."

Take my words with a boulder of salt
Or blame it on your devil, always the scape-goat's fault.
We all point fingers when it comes to a halt.
Will somebody show show us the way?

Show us the way......
