Song: Don't Speak - No Doubt
I had an interesting revelation today. I can't believe I didn't see it before. People change. Duh, Rebekah. How ignorant can I be? People change, relationships change, beliefs change. I don't know if I like that. It doesn't matter if I like it or not. Change happens.

Song: The Wizard and I - Wicked the Musical Soundtrack
My grandparents renewed their vows on Sunday and didn't tell us about it. We found out from my aunt. I guess I can't blame them...I've haven't been the greatest granddaughter. But I'm used to them going off around the country/world without me knowing. I'm not at home enought to get the memo. My brother, however, always has to complain about them. I think they probably can tell that he doesn't like them. They try so hard to help us out especially since my dad died, but my brother hates everything they do. I wish that could change.

Song: Consider This - Anna Nalick
I don't know what has happened over the past two days. I feel like I've grown somehow. I believe the word I'm looking for is reflective. I also feel old and arthritic. Sacriolitic, actually. Yay for anti-inflammatory medicine. Not yay for pain killer. It made me dizzy and nauseous. I guess you don't really care about that, but I thought I'd share anyway.

No song today. All I've got stuck in my head is the Family Matters theme song. This week won't be as bad as I thought. There will only be two tests, but I still have to perform for C&R on Friday. Ick. I like the piano and all, but performing isn't all it's cracked up to be. Oh, something interesting happened yesterday. I had to evacuate my apartment because of a grease fire on another floor. That's a great way to start the week.

Song: Defying Gravity - Wicked the Musical
Ten days and I'm still on the same song. Sorry for the lack of updates. I've had some internet problems at school. There will probably be another stretch of silence next week because I've got exams three days in a row. Aside from my running a red light and owing $128 to the municipal court, I need to tell you about having four part-time jobs. It's a good thing I'm getting paid soon. My newest job is tutoring. It's not too bad. I still don't think I could be a teacher, but the experience is interesting.

Song: Defying Gravity - Wicked the Musical
Hey guess what. I've got a cold. Yay. Anyhoo, I have begun teaching piano lessons. (Yes, I know that's a scary thought.) To make matters worse, I don't know how to deal with kids. But how hard could it be? I was once 7...now I have to remember how 7 year olds think. Fortunately she is a very mature child, although like others of her age she has a short attention span. I don't blame her, I get tired of playing the same song for half an hour too.

Song: Into the Night - Clara Edwards
Here I am again at my annual career crisis. I bet you're getting tired of them. Well hey, so am I. Here's the problem. I feel like I have so much potential, but I fear it will be wasted. For instance, will I have a career at all? Once I marry and have children, there goes whatever profession I choose. I want to be of some use to society before I'm dead, ya know. But then again, doesn't everyone? I don't know, I've only had experience being myself.

Song: When You Say Nothing at All - Allison Krauss
My wedding gig is finally over. It was surprisingly fun. There was an excellent guitarist there that I collaborated with. I've never played with a guitar before, but after this experience I want to do it again. Maybe I'll join a rock band. ;-) We even improvised about five minutes worth of music. I've definitely never done that, and especially not in front of a large audience. Oh, and I also want one of those looper things. Those are so awesome.

Song: Singin' in the Rain
Muahaha! I love to throw off the grading curve. Time to skip around like a maniac in the rain!

Song: O What A Beautiful Morning - Oklahoma!
Let the song speak for itself. Rebekah is happy. Maybe even giddy (ok, how lame is that.) And you know what? It's scary...but I don't mind.

Song: Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney
If you haven't noticed, I've been slacking off on the updates. Well, I really don't have a lot of spare time this week. I've got two more tests tomorrow, and today is the first day I've really tried to study for both of them. I hate cramming. Ok, I've got to get back to the books (joy). I'll try to say something more interesting in a couple of days.
