Christmas Recital

I can't think of anything witty or cool to put at the beginning, so i'm just going to go right into my day. I definitely went to bed way to late last night (11:48PM) because i almost fell asleep in my school History class. Mr Fish played a video about the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War and i decided to lay my head down and just close my eyes and listen. Well, it kind of worked.... I'm not sure how to explain it, but it was like my hearing became heightened and everything was in super-sensitive mode, and yet i didn't understand a thing. I must have been in one of those half-awake situations because iT wAs WeIrD.

Right after History i had PreCal. And today was a special day. Today was test day... let me tell you how i do when taking tests. Imagine being someone who understands everything pretty well. When you're at home studying all the answers come to you without even trying. Easy. Then a paper labeled "Exam #6" gets plopped in front of you. Suddenly, all that understanding and knowledge gets shot out of the sky like pigeons. How do you fare now? That's pretty much my life when it comes to tests. All things considered, i feel like i didn't fail, which is a huge step up. Keep your fingers crossed :)

My day was meh all the rest of the day, until 4:30PM hit. Slowly, i slid into my silver dress that i wore last year to Preference (below) and along with my mother and father, left down to Best of Music for my voice recital. Honestly, i was kind of nervous, but nothing huge. I love to sing, and i love sharing music, so the whole experience wasn't so bad. Until i stepped up and started to sing my song: Angels We Have Heard On High. Suddenly, my stomach started to flip and my knees turned to jell-o. BUT i persevered and made it through the song, jackhammer knees going the whole time :) Way to go me! It actually got a lot easier after i started. Go with the flow...

Preference Dress
(sorry i'm not wearing it)

I actually put on eyeliner.
Can you tell?

My parents dragged me to Costco after that, but not before taking me out to get whatever i wanted. I chose to go to Arctic Circle and i bought an Oreo Fudge Shake, fried, and a corndog. Haha it was actually really good. I didn't know until that moment how much i'd been craving a batter fries dog. Mmm-mm. Anyway, that was my day. Simple and all that jazz. For those of you in my ward who didn't listen to me sing today, you'll get to hear me at church on December 19. Yeah, see ya.
