Well.......2 down and 1 to go!!! Both exams weren't as bad as I was expecting!! Now after I finish my music history analysis assignment, I'll be home free until the 19th when I have my theory exam!! Then I get to go home!! YAY for Calgary in 9 sleeps from now!!

I got my flu shot....it didn't hurt at all. In fact, I didn't even feel it! Plus the nurse was really nice, so she distracted me from even noticing that she had jabbed a foreign object into my arm!! Isaiah came with me so that I didn't have to go alone, and he was planning on getting a flu shot anyway!! I was lucky I found someone to go with otherwise I would have been so bored waiting. It wasn't even a long wait, but when the only magazines they have are Macleans, Science Weekly, and The Beaver (don't ask....some historical magazine), one can get really bored....REALLY FAST!!

It turns out my secret buddy was Isaiah! He bought me the new Josh Groban CD, so now I have been listening to it all day!! The girl I had for secret buddies, Shari-Lynn, loved the gift I got her. I got her this awesome lamp and decorations for her room!! She thought it was so much fun! She actually left for home today. She had her last exam last night and was flying home to the Yukon early this morning!!

Well, I should go and work on my analysis assignment some more. I have a quintet rehearsal at 5:30ish, so I want to get some work done before then. We have a performace at Oak Bay High School tomorrow with my quintet, so we have to do one final run through!!

Later Gators!!

Well......by 9:00 tonight I'll be a free woman for 10 whole days!! I had my music history exam yesterday, and I felt it went better than I thought it would be. I have english tonight at 7pm, and I'm hoping it won't be too bad. We get to reveal our secret buddies tonight!! My secret buddy is AWESOME! He/She gets me to venture on a scavenger hunt all the time. The first one I had to go to the library....3rd floor mezzanine, look in a foreign oversized book.....find a clue.....go to the science building......look in a payphone and find my prize. I got candy necklaces. Last night I had a note under my door saying to check my e-mail!! My e-mail told me to go to this other e-mail and gave me a password to get in.....so I did.....I then had to go to this other website which said.....Messageboard in the SUB (Student Union Building)......so I dragged Steph along and after 20 minutes of searching I found the clue.....SAME LIBRARY, SAME FLOOR, SAME BOOK, SAME PAGE, DIFFERENT CLUE!! So, there I was....off to the library again! I found the clue quickly because I knew exactly where it was. It siad to turn the corner to my right and look behind construction!! Construction?!?!?!? In a library?? It turns out "Construction" is a painting hanging on the wall We got some funny looks as we shifted the painting to get the next clue!! Next, I had to go to the lobby of the library, and look under a water fountain.....this one was easy to find. The last clue was....GO TO THE PLACE WHERE A QUARTER COUNTS, OR SOME PANTYHOSE AND A SHEET OF __________! BOUNCE......A SHEET OF BOUNCE!! I am one smart cookie!! So I went to our laundry room and round a box of bounce filled with lollipops just for me!! Thanks secret buddy, it was so much fun!!

I have a rant for all of those people who keep telling me I'm JUST a music major, and that I don't take any real classes!! I may not have as many classes with tons of homework, but with rehearsals and practicing and stuff, I'm actually much busier!! Here's a little quote someone told me to sum this up!! MUSIC MAJORS ARE LIKE PORN STARS, WE WORK JUST AS HARD AS EVERYONE ELSE, WE JUST ENJOY IT MORE!

Well, I'm going to head out for some exercise in the form of a run! I have this route where as I run down this huge hill, I can the the ocean.....I'll have to take a picture before I come home!! It's so pretty!! I like the fact that I can say that I'm going for a run outside in the middle of December.....I don't think I could ever say that in Calgary!!

Later Gators,
Jacqui
