Today. =D

Today started off as a ho-hum sort of day.
I don't work on Mondays, which is nice. Anyway, I woke up to my phone ringing (I'm glad my sister calls me early in the morning when I don't have to work). Then I put my clothes in the dryer, since I had forgotten to do that last night. Oops. I talked to mi madre a bit, then I got in the shower. How exciting.
But then, I got a phone call that changed it all ^_^
Sure, I already knew what was told to me in the conversation, but still. It was different this time =]

Then I cleaned for the rest of the day. Oh, and I went to Yoke's. How exciting.
And then I felt like crap for practice tonight. My dad had been a major jerk before I left, I had a killer headache, and I was running a fever. I could barely stay standing up. It was NOT fun. =[

But now I can't wait for Wednesday ^_^
And this weekend! I'm going to Silverwood again!

But tomorrow isn't going to be fun at all. I have to work =[
Oh, and as soon as I get my schedule resolved, I'm going to look for a second job. I'm hoping to just get a job at Yoke's or something. Just something I can do on Mondays and the weekend, and possibly after work on some days. I desperately need the money, otherwise I can't transfer to another college when I graduate. Ugh.

Anyway, I might keep you updated with this week. Who knows? It's going to be very long, but very jam-packed at the same time. But I seriously just want to skip tomorrow altogether!

Whatever. Love you all ^_^

Sunshine. ^_^

I'm sorry for the ranting that I've done in the past however many blogs. That's exactly what I said I would try NOT to do. Oops =D

Anyway, some updates of what's been happening:

-I have almost fully completed summer quarter! It ends this Friday (except both my classes are probably ending on Thursday! Thank goodness...)

-I've been working like crazy at my job. Oh, did I even mention on here that I got a job? Well, I did. I'm the secretary, err, "administrative assistant" at my old church. It's not fun working for my old pastor and his daughter (they are HORRIBLE bosses!), but it pays well. But really, I'm way over-qualified for the job. It's not even funny. But still, I've been working there like crazy.

-I'm over my mysterious illness! Last week, starting on Monday, I got really sick. Then, I pulled an all-nighter that night, which didn't help. But it was so bad, I couldn't eat or drink anything. I couldn't talk on Monday and most of Tuesday in anything above a (very hoarse) whisper. Finally I was able to down a few sips of 7-Up on Tuesday night, and I was able to eat things like soup and light foods on Thursday. So basically, I went almost four days without food, and two days without anything to drink. And I couldn't stand for more than ten minutes without almost passing out or blacking out. It was not fun!

-I've actually started working on my vocal exercises and such again! You know, the important things. Except my throat still hasn't completely healed, and I'm not sure why. Starting today, I'm going to try taking a teaspoon or more of honey to try to get it up to par again. I hate honey, but I'm going to suck it up (literally, in this case).

-I've discovered that I'm a great public speaker. I've been voted the best speaker in my speech class. Apparently my speeches are always interesting, and my speech content mixed with my dramatic voice stylings tends to captivate an audience. It was quite surprising, actually. And the weird thing is, I'm best when I improv my speeches. I mean, I'll have an outline, but I have no clue what I'm going to say until five minutes or so before I go up there. And still, I don't necessarily follow those ideas. It's still very weird to me.

Hmm. I'm feeling very drowsy ^_^
Maybe it has to do with the "two hours of sleep a night" thing.
Whatever. I'm going to finish up with my speech, then get ready and go to bed!
Goodnight!
