Wow, it has been a very full week. School has been especially stressful with the end of the semester coming up with the desire to finish out the first half of the year well. I may not have everything that I wanted earlier, but I want to have good grades as well as understand the material. I have two weeks.

In addition to that, we had a band concert this evening. There was some dead space in there when the band and choir were getting to perform. I knew that I was going to play one Christmas carol to help pass the time, but when I got there, I found out that a string on Arizona's harp had broken. So I was asked to just play some more songs. It was awful! I blundered through some music, but it was not good. Oh well, I survived that mortification. Everything else was okay.

I also got my PSAT scores back this week. I was disappointed in my critical reading scores, but I guess my math was okay. Not great, but acceptable.

Despite the glum news I've given you so far, life is still good. I have my family, my friends, and a very warm stove to sit in front of whenever I get cold (which happens often :P). I'm very blessed.
