longnewsyupdate

i'm going to the gym now (to put it bluntly haha).
i have a few different ppl i go with and we're trying to go every day. i started last week but then i got sick and so i restarted up again this week. hopefully i can get back into the habbit of going...

i am finding it very difficult to keep up with tv shows (idol, bachelor). i always seem to have something going on during the time the shows air and then i have to find time to go watch them back...and finding a TWOHOUR time slot to sit and watch tv is low on my priority list...this is really frustrating. no spoilers please!!!

i have a lot of schoolwork to think about right now. i have 18 credit hours which is a lot, but do-able. however, i have 11 classes. yes. eleven. it's not so much that the work is too much, it's that there is too much to keep track of in my mind! several of these classes involve group meetings outside class to practice music which means we have to meet at a time when practice rooms are open (they have the stupidest hours) AND when everyone is available (they all have crazy lives like me) so scheduling is a pain. that plus schoolwork, accompanying, trying to find my own personal practice time, and attempting to maintain a low-budget social life...plus sleep. ha! i almost forgot about sleep! i like the busyiness tho...i guess it's just become my way of life.

my germany trip is coming up super fast. we're now meeting to practice twice a week and next week it'll be 4 times a week. i'm getting excited for it, but honestly with everything else going on i haven't had a ton of time to really think about it a whole lot. it'll be here before i know it!

since my roommate moved out i've gotten messier. shocker i know. just an observation i've made.

this weekend charles billingsly (worship leader at thomas road baptist church) is stealing my time. all of it. my friday night and sunday are totally dedicated to being in the choir for his new live worship dvd that they're filming. not gonna lie...don't really wanna go. it's not that i don't want to do it, but i just have a lot of "more important" things to do...like practicing, papers, projects, etc...oh well. by the grace of God i'll get it all done...

today i did my solo leading project for my instrumental worship leading class. each student has to lead the class in singing one song and accompany themselves on piano or guitar. i did "grace flows down" by passion worship and ended up getting several compliments that i totally wasn't expecting b/c i was nervous (our classmates and profs critique us afterward). anyway. it made me happy :)
