Concentration Fail

So over vacation I had a few very simple assignments. Read some stuff, summarize, comment, done. In fact, one assignment was so easy, all I had to do was buy a bowl, donate to Haiti, watch some really good acoustic performances, and label some schools on a map. Easy? Absolutely. Urgent? Absolutely not.

I saved all of this work for the past two days. TWO DAYS. I had all of vacation to do them, and I waited until now. Why? Because I have problems. Let me just run through what I did over vacation INSTEAD of the work that would have taken me a VERY small amount of time to complete.

Last Friday Night: Faculty Coffee House. This actually helped me complete part of an assignment, but my point is that I was not doing work. I bought a bowl, I listened to music, I talked and joked with friends, I went home and slept.

Last Saturday: Not gonna lie, I don't remember what I did last Saturday...I probably watched curling.

Last Sunday: Yeah can't remember this either...but I think I promised myself I would do all my work and get it out of the way. Funny joke. We watched Couples Retreat. We went to Smokey Bones. I watched curling till 2.

Monday: I got up. I drove from 10-12. I came home. I did nothing all day. Then I watched curling. Till 1:30.

Tuesday: I went curling. I went to my friend's house for a little while. I came home. I watched curling till 2. I went to bed. Still no work done...

Wednesday: I got up. I drove from 10-12. I came home. I debated starting some quiz corrections. I did 4 questions. I watched curling. I went to bed.

Thursday: I got up. I...um...don't remember? I probably just sat on the computer until curling was on...then I watched curling. I didn't do much else...

Friday: I got up. I drove and observed from 11-1. I came home. I watched The Time Traveler's Wife with my family. We went out to eat at Fishbones for my mom's birthday. We came home. We watched the women's curling gold medal game. Sweden beat Canada. I was thoroughly saddened.

Saturday: I got up. I did nothing for a while. I went to Barnes and Noble with my mom and got Wicked the novel (SO good). I went to a hockey game. We won. I went home. I watched the men's curling gold medal game. Canada beat Norway. Poor pants. But YAY CANADA!! I did homework until 2. Awesome.

Today: I got up. I was supposed to have rehearsal at 1. That plan died for multiple reasons. I started doing homework. Now I'm doing this. I've been reading Wicked whenever I have time. Curling isn't on anymore. It saddens me. I'm gonna go make dinner with my brother.

That is all. That was my vacation. Exciting, I know. Please try to contain yourselves.

A (Hopefully) Long Awaited Hello

^---Canadian Third, John Morris

Hello all! All being my...2 followers?

Clearly I have been slacking on my blogging duties for the last month or two. So I figured we could take some time to catch up. This will not be deemed a "Various Rants" post, simply a "Let's Get You Up To Speed on My Life. Not That You Care" post.

I am still obsessed with Wicked. My last post, about how amazing Wicked is, was merely the product of mild obsession. It has grown. A LOT. I listen to the soundtrack daily. Well, daily as in AT THE VERY LEAST once a day. Some days it gets up to four times...I know you just laughed and said "That's retarded" in your mind. Don't lie.

I've been watching the Olympics lately. Shocker, I know. Here's the strange part. My favorite event? Curling. Hands down it is THE MOST INTENSE Winter Olympic sport. Go ahead. Disagree. I know you are. You don't even understand. I've tried it. It's really fun, but it is so difficult, and the Olympians make it seem SO easy. Well it's not. It takes a lot of work, and a lot of skill, and you WILL fall on your first ever delivery. And probably on many more. That said, many Olympic Curlers are also very attractive. Plain and simple. 'Nough said.

I am sick. I ALWAYS get sick over vacation...it sucks.

I'm currently playing for the Nashua Chamber Orchestra. Feel free to be awesome and contact me for concert dates and locations. If I know you, that is...If you're some random creeper just searching through random blogs, then don't contact me. Ever.

We're doing Guys and Dolls for the spring musical. Just sayin'. Hopefully it'll be a blast...if all the drama drama blows over...

I can't think of much else to say...that's basically my life in a very small nutshell.
