Yess I'm still aalliivee

Oh dear I've been neglecting this thing haven't I? How very unlike me.

Mr. Caswell conducted TYWO on Sunday.. it was crazy.. it was grade 10 all over again.. except not. It was nice to see him, he may be a nazi but he's one of the great teachers to whom I owe my current position and ambition.

I'm playing Molly on the Shore in both TYWO and HHSB.. except I'm playing the solo part in HHSB, which means I can listen to Helen and learn from her brilliance before I ever have to play it myself! Hehe.

TYWO's doing a big band again this year for the Feb. concert.. you know why this makes me super excited? Cuz I'm gonna attempt to play my sax-a-ma-phone! I'm slightly terrified.. considering I've never played sax outside of my own home and have never played in a jazz band (and haven't actually worked too hard at sax lately..).. but I REALLY REALLY want to do this so I'm determined! The thought of doubling an instrument makes me feel so special! (Yeah yeah, I know all of you do it but I've never done it before so to me it's special lol)

Another exciting thing.. I FINALLY got a hold of my clarinet teacher earlier this week to get some advice on getting a new clarinet.. which I've been meaning to do for months now.. I was expecting her to tell me to try out a variety of different wood models but.. no.. when I asked she said "You want the R13." which makes me pretty excited because she wouldn't tell me to get an R13 if she didn't think I was ready for it. She said I might have to wait a while to find a used one.. but lo and behold Gary Armstrong has like 3 of them for sale right now, so mommy and I are going over there on Saturday to try them out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUEEE!!

I'm really not keeping up with my reading. I'm really skipping a lot of class. But, I discovered something magical called the audio book... instead of reading Pride and Prejudice for eng202 next week, I'm gonna listen to it while I'm at the gym.

Speaking of the gym, that's been going well.. it's a huge drag to make myself go every day, especially if I've got other plans, but I've been going nonetheless. I've been following the diet without much trouble too. The cravings actually haven't been too bad yet. I pity poor Max for being stuck with my boring food. Well.. Friday and Saturday night were cheats because of all the alcohol... GUYS I JUST CAN'T TURN DOWN FREE ALCOHOL!!! ... especially super sneaky shots of 'borrowed' vodka.. oh Jesse, we're badass mofos yo!!

Jesse's birthday party was fun.. I'm really glad everyone liked Max and I'm really glad that most of Jesse's cake ended up on his face so I didn't have to watch anybody eat it ^_^
The pit orchestra get together on Saturday night was pretty fun too.. watched some hilariousness, got to see Anton *yay*.. had a REALLY amusing trip home.. oh Tim.. "I feel like I look like a prostitute" hahah

Still trying really hard not to be a paranoid basket case but there's no help for it.. time, I guess.

Guess what though, now that I have a boy to drag places I get to go to Laurier to see Batboy after all!! :D

I'm getting sick. MOTHERFUCKER x 10.
