Whew!

First things first, the prerequisite OH, EL-JAY thing. I think the flagging thing itself is a good idea--not that I really have anything too flag-worthy on here. At least I don't think I do. But I'm really sort of miffed at the idea that other people can tell me what I should and shouldn't have on my own journal. THAT pisses me off.

*hops off soapbox*

Choir is done for the day--we have a new seating arrangement. Instead of being in rows, we're now in a biiiiiiig circle. I like it much better for a couple of reasons. First off, they can all hear the different parts a lot better. Number two, I can see EVERYONE. It's rather glorious, ya know? And we had a good time in choir. Did that name meme (you know, where your first pet's name + your street name = your movie star name or whatever?), which was a lot of fun. All in all, a good class today ^______^

And I've got middle school choir today. We shall see how that goes ^^

So I'm going to try and get some stuff done. How much I'll get done remains to be seen, but we shall see what happens. Yay!

Ah, Friday at last!

AWESOME day today for various reasons--my middle schoolers successfully sang in FRENCH!! VICTORY!! \o/

I also got a letter from my private loan company--since I'm doing automatic payments, I get an interest rate cut. We're talking, like, a fraction of a percent. It's not a lot...but that will make a difference over the long run. I got a .25% interest rate deduction from my federal loan company for doing automatic payments, and it knocked my payments down by thirty bucks. And with that company I think I get another fairly substantial interest rate cut if I make either thirty-six or forty-eight payments on time.

[/boring money talk that still made me happy]

Tonight people have been sending me music! My sister sent me this amazing recording of a string quartet playing Evanescence's "My Immortal." I might have to take that in for my middle schoolers to prove that, "Wow! Classical-style music CAN be fun and interesting." Along with that Ten Tenors DVD...that opera medley is hilarious :D And then aishuu and ickaimp are spoiling me with funny music!

...seriously, I'm going to be singing "Dead Again" for weeks. And I'm a total nerd because I got a TON of those video game references. Except I'm trying to find the Legend of Zelda reference. There has GOT to be a Zelda reference... *is playing Phantom Hourglass and thus has LoZ on the brain*

ETA: Random thought--could each individual Legend of Zelda game count as a fandom on 100fandomhell? Different timelines and all-- *shot*
