long time no blog

two days after xmas, time for an update.


finals were over for me last week on Tuesday- well Tuesday was juries. I have no idea what the judges thought because my teacher kept those sheets for some reason. I wish he had let us take them because I hate suspense. I guess it doesn't really matter anyway because I got an A in vocal lessons. as a matter of fact, I got on A in the rest of my 7 my classes. woot for the first semester of college. I hope that I will be ok next semester because I decided with my advisor that I will be taking on 3 more classes for a grand total of 11- 18 credits only, though. oh well, I have to take them sometime and it may as well be now because there's a lot of catch up work for me to do since I decided to double major in Vocal Performance and Music Education. What a full schedule I will have, as opposed to this semester when I had all this free time to get bored in.


so, for xmas I got lots of what I wanted: opera CD's. woot!
I got new driving gloves- hurrah for ones that actually fit my hands. and they're really really warm too.
I got me a dressy black shirt- unfortunately, it looked better on in the store, now it looks kinda baggy, even when I tuck it in... I'm sad.
I got a really good movie- Must Love Dogs


and some stuff I didn't ask for that will definitely be useful: an anti-stress neck pillow.
I got a really pretty fuzzy jacket- but it's white so I'm scared to wear it and ruin it, but I will wear it because otherwise there's no point in having it at all. It's a little tight on my arms, but once I tone them down, it won't be as bad.
I got a fuzzy white purse that kinda goes with the pretty fuzzy jacket by accident (from two different people that is)
I got some chocolate- Ferrero rocher, mmmmmm! I'm not supposed to have it on this whole diet thing, but one won't kill me, neither will the 3 that I got as long as I don't eat them consecutively.
I got a really perty pearl necklace and earring set
I got a book on how to make your singing voice stronger


oh yeah, and update on that diet thing: I've lost almost 20 lbs since the beginning of the semester (around when I started the diet)- so that's 30 since July! Now that the two-day straight-eating-frenzy that is Christmas is over, I have to go back to eating like that again because I'm sure that it has done me some damage that I don't want to look at on the scale. I'm not really worried though.


update on my depression? I don't see any traces of it now that I have been home for about a week and a half now. All I feel is the stress of not being able to stop thinking about next semester. And a bit of stress from my current situation of having a few different dating interests- all of them having some kind of reason why they won't happen: either its indefinitely on hold as far as the decision-making is concerned, unsure of how interested the other person is in me, or unsure of how interested I am in the other person. That middle one seems the most promising except that this person told me earlier this semester that he wasn't interested anymore, but I have my doubts about the validity of that (either that's me being really stupid, or I am actually being perceptive this time).
