I apologize in advance because I’m going to be brutally honest about some things in this post. There are times when I cannot be around my family. I’m having one of those moments right. My sister just offended/hurt me so badly that I’m crying for the first time in about 3 months. I feel like she goes out of her way to make me feel like crap sometimes and I cannot understand why. I feel like we haven’t really had a relationship in years because I don’t think she understands me, and quite often I don’t understand her. We are very similar in some aspects, but are mostly completely opposite.…

I am tired. It’s been a verrrrrry long day. It started off with a bang when we woke up to no hot water and I enjoyed a lovely FREEZING cold shower. Lovely. Thankfully, it brightened significantly when I received an essay back with a glorious mark of 80%. The paper was worth 35% of my overall grade, so am THRILLED. :) I was able to come home around 5, only to face a mountain of laundry and dishes.

AHhhhhhhh… I swear essays are the bane of my existence. As a History and English double major, I have the privilege of writing them, a lot. I’m a glutton for punishment–what can I say? I’m in the middle of writing the first of 3 essays that are due within the next 10 days or so… and yet I’m writing a blog instead. I think I am a STAR at procrastinating. :) I’d also like to know why professors like to assign…

Two more weeks. If I hear that one more time I think I might blow up. My piano saga has been dragging on and on and on sine JULY. I just want my piano… It all started with Long & McQuade. Well, actually it started when I moved away from home and no longer had a piano to play, but the piano shopping began in July at Long & McQuade. I have played piano since I was 7 or 8, and before I left for university I was a fairly decent player. I could sight read without much difficulty and could play at perhaps a Grade 5 or 6 level.…
