Green, green everywhere...so no pinching.

Spring break needs to be here now. The students are doing okay, but it's obvious that no one wants to be at school. Even the lunches at school are wearing down. I've lived on fries and fruit the last two days because hot & spicy chicken and fajitas are just not my thing. And the last time I tried the pizza there I had to close my eyes and pretend that the dough was supposed to be runny.

I went home for my birthday last weekend. Mom and Dad bought me tons of books for my present. Awesome. I also got a beautiful card from Gran&Gran (thanks!!). Scott bought me a DS game that I returned because of the weird tactics-like strategy that I couldn't wrap my head around. I was going to just get another game, but apparently Target stocks games for losers. Nothing cool anywhere. I mean, come ON. Who wants a game where you pretend to be a fashion designer? ...who will admit it anyway.

I actually put on green today in honor of St. Patrick's Day. I only remembered because of the massive amounts of green Walmart was sporting this year. I don't remember them carrying so much St. Patrick's Day stuff last year. They had big, obnoxious four-leaf clovers covered in glitter and green sparkly bowler caps. Yuck. I think I heard several students saying, "If someone tries to pinch me one more time..." I kinda wanted a student to try and pinch me. I'm not sure what I would have done, but docking points and cleaning my floor with their tongue was a part of my plan.

Currently, I'm "watching" History Channel International. There's a documentary about Ireland on and I thought, 'why not learn about my ancestors.' But documentaries are so boring to watch by yourself. I love them at school. ...I don't get it either.

Dollhouse is a good show, by the way. So all the stupid people bashing it need to shut up and find something else to watch. Bah.

Such Goings On

Let us see...where to begin?

We had the choir concert this last week. It went well. Not perfect, but not too bad either. The students were not thrilled with their own performances, that's for sure. I think we were just all ready to get on to new stuff.

I finally ordered our Spring Show music. It's a variety of things that the theater class is going to have to somehow work into a Fairy Tale theme. But I've actually got some funny ideas. :)

We're doing Footloose with JazzCats. Yeah, I know, how do you work that into a Fairy Tale? Why, the tale of the twelve dancing princesses of course! And Concert Choir is doing Higher Love by Steve Winwood...duh, Rapunzel. Ha!! They're also doing Go the Distance from Hercules, my one concession to Disney for this show. Oh yeah, and Joy to the World (Jeremiah was a Bullfrog). Melanie, our choreographer, said that would be funny paired with the Frog Prince Fairy Tale. :)

Women's Choir is doing Everybody Rejoice from the Wiz, It's Raining Men and Listen from Dreamgirls. I'm still thinking about those.

Aside from Choir, nothing much going on. I had dinner with Dad in Jackson pretty much every night the week before. It was nice being able to see him that much. Makes me wish I was closer to home. It's tough getting home much, but I guess better a few hours away than a few days.

Oh, and I read my bible during church today. Shocking, I know. But he was talking about a story from 2nd Kings I didn't remember reading. It was about Ahab and the goings on after the whole Mountain Showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. Apparently there was an assassination made in order to aquire a vineyard and a war that God helped them win to show the bad guys that he was God of the valleys as well as the hills. Confused? Well it encompasses several chapters, so if you want to know what I'm talking about look it up.
