Have you ever forgotten something that was of relative importance? I bet it wasn't something as important as your birthday. Well I guess I really didn't forget it but I did forget all about it until this past Monday. Maybe it's because 17 is not a very important one or maybe it's because I have been surprisingly busy in these past couple weeks. I don't know. Nevertheless, Kayla and Amber are coming over tomorrow night and we are going to hang out and do fun things. And go to the basketball game so we can watch Conan. I'm thinking that if I don't have to go to work on Monday then the man-friends and I will go out to dinner. I don't know if I am getting anything from any one though Kayla has said that she needed to go shopping for me so...
In the past week I have started an afghan. I can already tell that it is going to be a lot of work but it is going to look awesome. The pattern is really busy and repetitive. When I get more of it finished I will put up some photos for your enjoyment.

Snow Day!
pg 71
Well, this wasn't really a legit snow day. We didn't have school because it's MLK Jr. Day. But, nevertheless, it still involved something you'd do on a snow day: Sledding!! I went with Erica, Ada, Hannah, Kayla, Eric, Cadi and Alyssa to Bennet Park and Davis Beach (both of which have massive hills with bodies of water at the bottom) to do a little sledding. This is the first time I've been sledding this winter and in a while. I hope you enjoy the photos from today! This is only a fraction of the pictures we took.

OU Honor Band 2011
This past weekend I had the great opportunity to attend the Ohio University Honor Band and Choir festival. Not just as a spectator, but as a participant. I have to say, this was one of the best experiences I will ever have. I met a ton of great people (we called ourselves the "Cool Bitch Clan") and got to spend some one-on-one time with the clarinet professor. Even though I made myself look like a fool when I started crying in front of her because the whole situation was so frustrating for me. I usually play 1st part no matter what for all of the stuff we play in band. But, because I didn't practice my music beforehand, I bombed my audition and got last chair. I mean I really didn't care that much; I was just happy that I got in. All of the people were so nice and I really didn't want to leave. The music sounded great and I was happy with it. Being on campus for 3 days made me feel like a college kid and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait for college. The freedom is what I look forward to the most. Hopefully next year I get in as well and I can participate in the whole thing all over again.
Holidays Have Come And Gone
Well, like the title says, the holiday season is over and I thought that I would share what mine was like.
Over Christmas break (Which was very good for me. I relaxed the whole time and didnt have to go to work but like twice a week.) I did just about nothing. I should've been practicing for OU Honor Band (which is this weekend) but I just never did. I got just about everything I wanted for Christmas. I can't complain too much though because my birthday is at the end of the month so some of my presents are going to be coming then. I got Glee on DVD, an old-fashioned nib pen and a bunch of stuff for my car. I was really excited about my pen. For some reason I have always wanted one. After Christmas, I went down to visit my family n Cincy. That trip just turned into a 2-day shopping spree at Cincinnati Prime Outlets where I saw a transvestite, a man with no fingers and a man wearing knee-high lace-up deerskin boots. All in the same day. All in the same store (Banana Republic).
I was going to end up spending New Years alone, but Rachel came over after going to the movies with her mom and stayed the night. We ended up watching a lot of Doctor Who. I had to go to work the next day so she just stayed at the house. When I got home, we took down all the Christmas decorations and just chilled. Overall, it was a pretty good break. No drama, no fights: it was just as it should be all the time.

Let It Snow
Well the snow has started to fall here in central Ohio. It's kinda symbolic, I think, that the 1st snow happened on the 1st of December. With the snow comes new beginnings and the beginning of the month signifies a new season. I don't know about you but after the snow came and I made it home with only a slight mishap, I am in the Christmas spirit. And then I go to work and listen to the same song over and over and it's gone. We have started to decorate a little bit around the house; we are getting a real tree this year! I haven't had a real tree since I was in the 3rd grade because my mom didn't want to deal with picking the needles out of the carpet at the new house.
Speaking of mishaps in the snow, Wednesday was my first day driving in the snow. It went pretty well until I was almost home. I was going around a corner at like 20 mph and my car started to slide! I freaked out and started trying to regain control, completely forgetting everything I learned in driving school. After about 20 seconds I started driving again. It was the scariest 20 seconds of my life! I hope that I never have to experiance something like it again but that is highly unlikely.
