Song: The Christmas Song
You know, I thought I was okay. Then I heard his voice for the first time since the accident. (My brother has been working on copying a DVD of his sermons.) I couldn't take it. I know it's normal to get upset over things like that, but I'm still reluctant to show it.

Song: Broken - Seether
*Yawn* I am so tired. Four hours on the road and five hours at a game (and the other hour at BK and CiCi's). A very very cold game. You know, cold weather is nice and all...if you have enough layers of clothing on. Well, I didn't have enough layers on. I cheered for the team for the first quarter. Then I got too cold to move, so I sat down. I'm so glad the season is over. Let me tell you, Southern high school football is like the biggest thing on the planet. Even if the team isn't good, people really support their schools. During my high school days, I believe we never had a winning season. But still, the stadium would be full. People would still yell violently and ring their cowbells. Quite annoying, really.

Song: Never Alone - Barlowgirl
Christmas is in 15 days. That's not a very long time. I bet there's not even a Christmas tree up at home. Oh great. Now I have to go shopping. Five gifts. That's one advantage of not having many friends. You save money. Sigh, who am I kidding? I'm not Scrooge. I'm just trying to look on the bright side.

Song: Matchmaker, Matchmaker - Fiddler on the Roof
I'm am SO relieved. I'm done with accounting for now. (Can I burn the book?) This morning I got to see my brother on TV. That was pretty cool. It was a wide-screen tv too. Hmm. What should I do now? Play Spyro? Or study some more? Decisions, decisions! I think I've earned some play time. Yeah, definitely.

Song: Gravity - Shawn McDonald
Arg! I hate accounting!! Since my music juries didn't go so well, I probably have a B in there. (They didn't even ask for my scales!) And now I'm having trouble with accounting. I can handle one B. But two?! If I don't make at least an 85 on this test, I'll have one. I love math. It tells me what I need to make. But contrary to popular belief, accounting has very little to do with math. It's all about organization. Do I look organized to you?!

Song: Hooked on a Feeling
I think I laughed last night more than I have in the past year. In fact, I was tired of laughing. Or maybe I was just plain tired. Today is "Dead day." I'm suppose to be studying. The day is only half over. I still have American Lit and Accounting to look at. I have since been busy with other matters. Editing, actually. That will be a two day job at least. I'm having to conjure up my long gone composition skills. * * * 8:28pm. I finally looked at the IM archives. I did say 'bye.' I don't have to worry about that any more.

Song: As the Deer - Salvador
I was almost in a wreck today. I hate it when people drive too close. Don't they know that they could injure someone that way?! Yes, my pet peeve is bad drivers. I wonder why... Aside from that, I just wrote a depressing morbid poem. It was an assignment. Otherwise, I wouldn't have pushed myself to write anything. I'm not exactly in a poetic mood. Am I ever anymore?

I ate too much. You know, those DiGourno (or whatever) microwave pizzas aren't that great. I'll stick to Totinos. I except this upcoming week to be boring. Especially since I will be in my room the majority of the time either studying or watching movies. Yes, I know. I'm prone to time-wasting. The way I look at it, I'm spending some quality thinking time. It's not completely wasteful.

Song: My Hi-Silk Hat - Veggietales
Just think, after Wednesday, I can sleep past 6:30. Yay! I'm thinking about trying to read Josephus. Yes, I know it's a big book. It'll probably take me at least a year. Two weeks, if I do nothing but read. I just think that it is an important part of understanding the Jewish culture. Understanding Jewish culture can be beneficial to understanding the New Testament.

Song: You Found Me - Kelly Clarkson
I had a funny dream last night that the conductor was going to make me play the concerto on my little keyboard. I don't think so. One day I will have a real piano. I don't know when. Perhaps it will be my first big splurge. Ah, a Steinway. I can dream, can't I? Actually, I'm probably delusional. The practice room that I was shut in for two hours was like 85 degrees. It was about 35 outside, so my layered clothing made the room feel like a sauna. Enough about music. I've been talking about it for at least three days straight. Topic is closed...for a while anyway. Football game tonight. Maybe we'll finally get beat. We should according to logic. But then again, we should have lost the past two times according to logic. (Arg, I hate it when logic fails reality.) Football is exciting and all, but I'm tired of going numb from the freezing cold weather. * * *9:55pm. Logic failed reality. I just love the radio. No cold, no noisemakers. Just great live coverage.

Song: Revive Me - Jeremy Camp
I put in a two hour practice again today, not to mention it was on the bad piano. I better get an A after all this. It has had a good effect though, it's getting my mind off of other things. You know, even though some things are morally okay, they just aren't appropriate. I'm glad I came to that conclusion. It'll remind me to avoid somebody. * * * 5:27pm. Song: Behind These Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson. I just got out of economics. My professor asked me what my major was. Apparantly I'm showing some potential in the field of economics. Hey, it could happen.

Song: Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson
Ok, so I got the new CD. It turned out to be four dollars less than it was originally marked. I love money-saving surprises. I actually spent about two hours practicing today. Juries are next week, and I'm not quite ready. I have to learn all the white key minor harmonic scales before then. I know the scale notes, I just can't exactly play them very well. It's like one of those easier said than done deals. I woke up this morning only to find that my eyes wouldn't stay open. Literally. It seemed like a pretty good reason to go back to bed, but this nagging little voice saying "You don't know your scales, remember?!" kept me up.
