YAY!!
I got a job! I don't mean one like at the A&P but one that involves my life's passion. Singing!! I got a phone call yesterday from a director at a church who was looking for a mezzo-soprano to sing in his choir for $100/week plus $15 gas money (it's in Long Branch, NJ a 40 minute hike from New Brunswick). He asked my teacher if she had any mezzos who might be interested and she recommended me. So I went down to Long Branch last night to the rehearsal and I sang for the director and he liked my voice so now I am going to sing with them at Sunday morning mass. I'm so excited. The music is pretty easy and the people are really nice so I think I am really going to enjoy this! No more sleeping in on Sunday morning, but that's alright. I can deal with that for $100 a week. :)

Vacation
I'm not sure why I'm bothering to update because I don't think that anyone reads this but me, but I guess that should be enough so that I can look back someday and be like, "yeah, I remember that." So anyway. I got the staples out from my surgery yesterday morning. woot! Tonight I get my MRI done on my head to rule out any physical problems with my brain causing all my headaches and migranes. I've been to so many doctors this winter break it's not even funny, well actually it is. I kinda am laughing a little on the inside.
So last week I went up to New Hampshire with Gordon to visit his father, stepmom and little sister. The original plan when I was invited oh so many months ago was that we would go skiing while we were up there, but since I had my surgery I wasn't allowed to plus there was no snow, so that was a no go. Except on Thursday, the second day we were up there, we went to Crotchet Mountain where his little sister was having her ski race and Gordon and his dad skied for a couple hours before the race. They tried to convice me to go with them, but I didn't want to hurt my surgery wound especially since I've never skied before, so I stayed in the lounge and studied a few songs for next semester to get ahead. yeah, I know what you're thinking "who studies on their vacation?" apparently I do. But that's the only time, I swear. So I saw his sister race and she got second place and beat pretty much all the boys' times as well. I was like "wow." Other than that day, it rained a lot so then there really wasn't any snow. We spent a lot of time inside watching football and playing cards and watching movies cause of that rain. But we did go out to this really awesome pool hall where the waitress actually comes to your pool table and you eat dinner while you play pool! I want to find one of those in Jersey. If there are any, that is. One of the days we went ice skating. I hadn't been ice skating in years and only a handful of time at that so needless to say I had to hold Gordon's hand for a while before I felt like I had any center of balance at all. There were all these little kids with walker-things that I swear are such a hazard- they think that they don't have to pay any kind of attention at all to anything, they can just stand there cause they have this walker thing to hold onto. There were so many people and so many little kids, it made me a little nervous. Eventually I got comfortable enough to let go of Gordon and then so that I started playing tag with him, his dad and his sister. I only fell once, flat on my back; I thought I was going to have a nice bruise on my ass, but I didn't. One night we were up there, it wasn't raining, so me and Gordon took a walk around the road they live on for an hour or so. It was a nice change from sitting around the house.
After vacation Gordon left to go to Florida to tour the Naval base down there and learn about what kind of work he'd be doing if he decides to join. I really don't want him to join, but it's a good opportunity for him and I can't be selfish even if he will be gone for 5 years. :(
So tomorrow Dad is taking me and my sisters to see the Phantom of the Opera in New York. I'm really excited. I've been wanting to see this show for forever!! Lauren's coming to pick me and Tor up at 10 to go to Dad's. I can't wait!!
