10 more days and counting!

hi there everyone!
sorry that it has been some time since i have updated this thing. not THAT much has happened so far.
last weekend, my good friend jessica heilman came into town from grandview and hung out with me from friday night-sunday afternoon to see me, AND to see IU. i tried to show her around to all the fun things that i get to do. on saturday night, she watched me with the funk band that i am in, "soul revue," play a concert at a local theatre. along with the band was a dance group and a choir. it was QUITE a show! i sat with her once i was done playing. we both had a great time. the next morning, we had breakfast at a french crepery *oh la la!* and THAT was good. i think that she had a really fun weekend, i sure hope so.
my classes are still going well. i am loving my english class more than ever. we just got done reading "the godfather" (which i LOVED, now i need to see the movie), and now we are reading "misery" by stephen king. now, i thought that i was loving "the godfather," but im supposed to be at about page 80 or something for wednesday in "misery" and today i reached page 220! i cant put it down! its becoming one of those books that you have to read no matter what you are doing- you just gotta finish it! my journalism class is still as grea, too- i am really happy that i got to experience something like that.
i will be scheduling for next semester's classes next monday. my scheduling time online actually opens the same time that i am in english class, haha, so im going to take my laptop to class and schedule. hopefully, some of the lesson will enter my subconcious while i am looking for classes.
this week is full of learning new, last minute, material so the teachers can test us over it next week, or once we get back from thanksgiving break for exams the week before christmas. in 10 DAYS i will be home for thanksgiving, go back to school for 2 weeks for review and exams, and then im off for winter break until, i THINK, january 7th or something. yay! i can make it, i can make it...
today was voting day in grandview. i REALLY hope the levy passes- i dont want grandview schools to loose all of their sports and musicals and marching band and everything! lets hope for the best. i know that I'M keeping my fingers crossed. AND, good luck to the voting in cincinnati today- i hope that yours goes well, too!
well, im off to go fit in more "misery" and do MORE homework (it just seems so endless!). it is a surprisingly BEAUTIFUL day here (i think that the weather said it was supposed to get up to 74 today? i think its supposed to be nice tomorrow, too!), i think that i will go do that outside. 10 days! ciao
