candylandIn spite of the fact that I got zero sleep last night, I'm actually having a really good day today!
So I tossed and turned until about six this morning, at which point I got up and got dressed and packed up my stuff for class...and then crawled back into bed, trying to take a quick nap-type sleep. Still didn't work. So at about eight, I finally got up and headed down to the servery to grab some breakfast--I rarely eat breakfast, preferring to stay in bed as long as humanly possible instead.
I had a nice breakfast. I also had coffee. Both were very tasty ♥ Then I grabbed a cup of hot cocoa (with a little French Vanilla cappucino in it for flavor) and headed to Art History. It was boring, as usual ^^;; Hey, can't win 'em all!
Then I went to Religions of Asia, in which everyone was as out of it as I was. She paired us up and asked us to read a specific section and explain it to the class. I tried to read it, and the letters started dancing in front of my eyes. The other two girls just kind of stared. So yeah, everyone was really zoned out. But on a happy note, she pushed back our portfolio due date from Friday to Monday AND cut back the amount of stuff we had to have in it. SCORE!!
Went down to lunch, but wasn't really hungry. Enjoyed good company of friends. Got a backrub from Matt ♥
And then I went to Madrigal rehearsal at noon, in which the seniors had to take a vote on something major. It hit me that I hadn't actually explained what a Madrigal is. Here's a brief explanation...
A Madrigal dinner (at least as we do it) is a choral performance in which the performers dress in medieval-style costumes and sing medieval and Rennaissance-y music (most of it Christmasy) in the ballroom, which is all decorated. The performers are known as the Royal Court. Everyone eats...I think it's a four or five-course dinner while we sing, and there are instrumentalists and usually there's a student-directed play.
...at which point I must interject that "The Linguistically-Capable Players" was pretty much the funniest thing I've ever seen. EVER. "I can't say the letter B. You know, the bow says 'moo,' the bat says 'meow.'" Rock my face off, yo *thumbs up*
But anyway, it's all very festive and Christmasy (AND WASSAIL, WASSAIL, BRING US OUR FREAKIN' WASSAIL!!!) and a good time is had by most. And there's always one senior guy and one senior girl chosen to "reign" as the King and Queen. This basically means that they do a solo and get to wear a nifty cape-thingie and crown as part of their costume and deliver a special toast and stuff.
Anyway, so we voted on King and Queen. And guess who got Queen.
Me.
That's right, me.
I'm still floating! I know, it's really dumb to get worked up over something like this...but I'm still really excited! *happy happy backflip* I'm going to call my parents tonight to tell them the good news--I bet they'll be thrilled! And John is my king, which totally rocks! I'm also uber-stoked because PK said I could do the solo I wanted. I don't know how many of you know Amy Grant, but my Madrigal solo this year, may I do it justice, is "Breath of Heaven." *is uber-squeeful* I promise there will be pictures ^__^
And I found the cable for my camera, so I'll upload some random piccies tonight as promised a while back =)
Methods was a cinch--I taught my lesson, and more or less nailed it. We have no homework in that class for Friday!! Then I had voice practice, and realized that I'm coming along a lot further in my memorization than I thought I was! SCORE! Considering my voice recital is about two and a half weeks away...yeah. *panic panic panic*
Choir...yeah, pretty sure I fell asleep ^^;; We're in band right now. Another half-hour of this, and I'm sprung for the evening *cheers!* I intend to eat dinner, go back to my room, call my mommy, curl up and watch Ghost Hunters at eight, and then sleep like the dead in-between rounds. Yay for no homework! *is bricked*
Some other stuff going on, more personal and internal stuff...might write about that later. Right now, I just want to focus on the good mood. Cheers!

Date: 2006-10-26 11:29 pm (UTC)Yeah, that one makes me giggle. XD It's one of my favorites out of the huge batch I did the other night. Gin looked so appropriately nuts in the picture, and after remembering an Edward Elric icon, I decided I needed to parody Pinky & the Brain.
