This past weekend was my first indoor track meet ever! It was exciting, but i was really nervous. I mean i didn't do too bad for the first meet, but i do have another one on Thursday in which i know im going to be nervous even though now im getting use to how the meets run. Nevermind having a track meet during the week but the work load that I have on my back is just making my week hectic. Some of my finals are this week and then i have 2 next week, but im just not getting a lot of sleep and i never have time to take a nap because of practice and classes and then homework always gets in the way! But i just want this week and next week to go by and then i wont have anything to do until after vacation which sounds so nice right about now.

Over thanksgiving break i had worked on black friday from 8-5 which was one long day especially when its really busy! then i worked saturday and then sunday as well before i came back to school. I did not want to come back to school because i wasn't in the mood to wake up for classes, i personally enjoyed time off and sleeping in when i was able to. It was just nice to be home with all of my friends that i havent seen in a while and just not having to worry about classes and all of the work.

Last week and this week are really stressful because of the classes ending and all the work all the teachers are trying to squeeze in is just a lot to handle all at once. In most of my classes the test and all the final work is due this week and I don’t need to stay for the final time but I probably will end up staying because I will need to use the time to get my papers done instead of rushing on them to pass them in and then leave to go home early. I just think that with packing everything up and getting all my work done on top of all the tests will be a lot to do for Friday so I need to just take one day at a time so that it is easier for me to focus on what is due and make sure that it is done on time and finished for when it needs to be done and passed in. i hope that I don’t get too stressed out this week and that I can just get all my work done and manage my time well.

We are so close to winter break and finals. I wonder, am I the only one who has not started studying? I hope not. It's been a busy week. Teachers seem to be loading on the homework, which I find myself doing instead of studying for finals. Tonight was the date auction which I went to with my friends, tomorrow I'm going to the Night Owls concert, and Wednesday I am going to be in the concert in Dever for the Westfield Strings Ensemble. I'm so excited for this concert. It's my first college concert, and we've been practicing really hard for it. The only thing I'm worried about is that I am going to play during a rest or make a mistake like play a wrong note. Hopefully this won't happen. Anyways, the concert is at 7pm and starts after the percussion is over. It's a mixed concert since both of our sections are pretty short, we'll probably only play for 20 minutes. I am one of three cellos, but I think a 4th is coming for the concert. Other than that there are 2 violas, 3 basses, 2 second violins and 2 first violins. It's a pretty small group but it sounds good.

Crazy weekend
So i decided when i went into work on friday night that i didn't want to waitress anymore. So i didn't ask, i told my boss and manager that i was bartending. Well... since a few of us kids work there, we decided to invite all our friends. The bar was packed with underage teens. There was drama, puking, and money being made. I left around 11 with 80 in my pocket. I went to my boyfriend's house to see him sleepin on the couch. So i left, and went home to fine my brother (16) and his friend bored out of their minds. So i said hey lets go out. This was around 1 in the morning. We ended up going to my work and my brother and his friend drank some beer and we played this game on one of the machines called "whats the difference?" (a porno game) I dont think they knew what to do with themselves they had so much fun. My manager and boss were like omg thats your brother im like ya... No one cares there. So saturday night i went into work around 4 to find the bar a mess. it took me over and hour to clean it. And the same happened that night.

This week is ether going to nice or its going to be hell. We have all this english stuff to do in the next weekish. I have a geology quiz wed, and homework due friday. Economics I have a test on thursday. I have 4 out of 12 case graders for computer applications due by friday. And I have to get ready for 3 or 4 finals next week. I have to try to work monday and tuesday if i can because i need money for Christmas, and i have to go Christmas shopping because i haven't started and Christmas is in 18 days. WOW.
BUT, my geology teacher canceled mondays class, and on tuesday I don't need to go to my computer class on tuesday morning because i can do all my work at home. Although after next week we are done for a while.
Also it snowed last night, its a good think it was small because i would still be working.

December 1 blog

It's really strange to think that it is already December, and even stranger to think that it is almost 2009. Every December there is something called Winter Camp at the camp I work at in the summer. It goes from Dec. 27th to Dec. 30th and is one of the best sessions ever- other than the summer ones of course. I will hopefully be working at it this year, which means going up on December 26th for a day of training. Apparently winter camp is a lot different than any other weekend I've worked at before, usually we have about 45 minutes to go over the schedule and set up the cabins- for this program we have an entire day. The last time I went to winter camp was with my sister, Jenny. I was 9 and she was 12 and things were a lot different then. I remember going ice skating on the pond, and they even drove us out to Amesbury, Mass. to go tubing, that was fun. I'm not sure if there is a little off trip adventure anymore, and I'm sure we don't skate on the pond anymore, but I know there will be tons of fun things as there are at every Barton weekend.
Also in December comes that whole 25 days of Christmas on abc family. They have all of those cute Christmas movies. Those are great.

So I couldn't get onto the site last week and forgot until now. This is my blog from last week.

We have Thanksgiving break this week and I am more than ready for it. I won't leave until Wednesday at 11:49. My Uncle Paul and Aunt Rozzie are picking me up and driving me to my cousins house in Newburyport where we go every year for Thanksgiving. The drive will be about 2 hours there and when I leave from there, on Friday, it will be around 4 hours to get back to Connecticut. But I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. The last time I went home was for the holiday (Rosh Hashana) and I got to see all of my family and friends. This time I'll go home and end up in my house around 11:00am. At 2:30 my step-dad, Jack, is going to be on the radio talking and they are going to play some of his songs. He sings those rat-pack songs, mainly Dean Martin, and just made a CD. I'll listen to him on the radio and then go to work at 4pm til close. After work about 9 or 10 of us from my old high school will probably meet up at the Dunkin Donuts everyone goes to to get iced coffees. They're open 24 hours a day and people are always hanging out there. When we come back we'll only have 10 school days until finals. And after that, 1/8 of our hopefully only 4 years here, will be done.

I cant believe how much traffic we are waiting in right now on the way to getting back to school. There is such a backup and so many Carson the highway and they are all just inching forward and barely moving. When I get back to school I have so much to do and a project that I should get started on because it is due Friday. These next two weeks are going to be so stressful and I am going to have to do so much work and a lot of studying for the finals. I tried to get a lot of my work done that is due after thanksgiving hat way I didn’t have to worry about it when I was home so that I could just get all the papers and little things out of the way so that it will be easier to just focus on the tests im going to have to study for and be able to organize all the material I need to know for the tests and figure out my upcoming schedule, because I need to find out if my tests are before or after the finals week.
