ah!!!! i got an A on my history exam. yay!!! and aaron now thinks i'm a genius or something. it was a history test. i like u.s. history. well, i also had mr. schmidt for a teacher =) i totally give him the credit for how well i'm doing in my history class and next semester should be all the more amazing since i still have my notes from 11th grade. and i got an A on my informative speech. amazing. especially nice since it was worth 20% of our grade. "outstanding research, very credible and recent...perfect outline...great preview...excellent citing...a very solid speech - bravo!" thank you stacy =) now if only i can pull of an A on my persuasive speech. 25% of our grade. ah...

so this past weekend i pretty much did homework. went to the library on friday to get books for my research paper. i don't really want to analyze children's novels. it takes all the fun out of them. but i finished one of them at nutcracker practice and i'll probably start the other one tonight. i just need to find sources about them and actually write the paper... within the next two and a half weeks. but it's only four pages. although i'm really gonna work hard on getting things done on it this week and weekend. it's worth a third of our grade so an A would be very nice. it would totally be amazing if that happens. which reminds me, i did the first discussion thing for the online part of my lit class and i didn't even read what he posted. i pretty much just wrote the essay i wrote on our midterm with a little more details. his response - "well done." sweetness! i can live with that considering i didn't read a word of it. but back to this weekend... i read most of saturday. sunday i went to church in the morning. not really sure what went on there. i was only there for service and i was back in the sound booth with my dad. it was rather funny. "i'm scotty and i'm loud." "turn donna down... she is down, she's off." then nutcracker practice. it seemed incredibly short. i actually got out early. we only have two more practices... er, three including the dress rehearsal. how crazy is that?? i actually can't wait til the performances. but i'm gonna be sad when it's over. then i went to genesis after practice. hung out with catherine and a bunch of people at coney afterwards. ah, hot fudge sundaes... amazing. then i spent all yesterday finishing up all the rest of my homework... crazy amounts of studying for geography. africa has too many countries in it. but i think i actually did ok on the exam. i hope i did. then pointe class last night... we did a barre then ran through snow and flowers for katie. it seemed so short. and we all decorated the studio for miss jean's birthday. it's on saturday. we're having a cake and everything at nutcracker practice on sunday.
