oh oh oh, this is a brand new day

Humm, lets see. I haven't posted in a while because I've run out of interesting/insightful things to share with you all, and I don't have much time. But now that I'm stuck at work with nothing to do, I might as well tell you all the details about my super-exciting life, because I know you're just dying to hear them. Right? Okay, moving right along...

So school this quarter is going really well. I actually like all three of my teachers. English 101 is one of the hardest classes I've ever taken at the community college, which is ridiculous. Still, it's much better than the communist-feminist-wicken teacher I had before that didn't teach us a thing about actual writing. Then there's my speech class, which is taught by my incredibly awesome advisor. I'm doing all my speeches on personality types and I'm excited to get back into that whole thing again. Last is a history class with my favorite teacher, who is from Bolivia or something like that and hates communism so much that it's pretty much the application of every single lesson, regardless of where we are on the globe or timeline.

Work, however, is not so good. It's actually looking like I may have to look for a new job soon, which would be a bummer because this job is so amazingly flexible and I pretty much love everything about it. For now I'm working about an hour a day, which of course isn't enough. The upside is I have a lot more free time to spend writing.

Now for the really exciting news- my choir may be putting on a musical Spring quarter, and if we do, I get to write it. I think it largely just depends on me getting it done in time. I can't reveal what it's about, but I can reveal that it will be an awesome colaborative effort totally worth comming to see. If it happens!

Choir this quarter is the biggest it's ever been. And I have at least four people from choir in every one of my classes. We're kind of like a cult that's taking over campus now- groups of us are everywhere you go, singing and talking and getting way too involved in one another's personal lives. Sitll, it's awesome. :-)

Irish dance is just irish dance. I'm kind of tired of it and seem to be getting worse rather than better over time. I'm sure I'll enjoy it more when we start performing again.

At church everything seems to be focused on the up-and-comming wedding. I seem to be unreasonably emotional about this whole thing. Part of it is just that someone is getting married and it's not me, part of it is loosing Christina, and part of it is just that I hate change and things certainly are changing in our little group at church. But the most important thing is Christina is really happy and two people are getting married in a beautiful, God-glorifying way. So I'm trying to just focus on that and celebrate with them.

Other than all of that, I am spending a lot of time on my new laptop. Things are much easier when you have the internet always right in front of you. And it gives me a lot more to do with my down time which makes me a much happier person. For example, I'm becomming an expert at solitaire, and I'm sure this is a great life skill to have somehow.

I think that pretty much covers me in every possible chatagory right now. This is Emily Watts, signing off...

  2. I hate that....


    I'm glad you posted mnm! I'm trying to find some time to do that; it's been too long.
    about the musical - that sounds so fantastic! keep us updated....especially if it ends up happening, I want to come see it!
    choir is definitely one of the most fun things to get involved in. at my school the director is extremely sweet and kind of perky, and I get to sing AND play and gorgeous Steinway every morning. best time of my life.


    Friends getting married is really tough. Give her a few months to settle in and don't get mad if you just don't hear from her at all. Then be proactive about getting together. My friend Lauren got married in October and for Christmas I gave her a calendar that I made, and each month I've planned something for us to do together for a day....a movie marathon, cooking, bowling, garage sale-ing, whatever.
    But I think it's hardest for the first few months while the honeymoon is still going...forever......


    Personalities! that's fun. you should write about that again, like you used to. In psych I'm learning all this crap about how the brain functions and we talk a little bit about that stuff.

    <3 we should hang out soon.....why does school get so much in the way of life?

  4. Haha, that's okay Sarah, it's done that to me too. And yes, it's Raeshelle and Jacob's older sister that's getting married. That's a bummer that you can't get hired right now! It's the worst time ever to be job searching.

    Thanks for the pointers Kacy, it's good to hear it from someone who actually knows what they're talking about... :-)


    Thanks for commenting, Julie! I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Christina, it just never crossed my mind... but the wedding is on February 13th and I'm going to be a brides maid! Very exciting.
