1st day of semester 2

Hello all!

So, today was the first day of semester 2. I have: A) Math 11 B) spare C) Socials 11 D) Drama 11 E) Choir/Vocal Jazz (alternating). Phew! It's only the first night of homework, and boy, I have TONS. A huge math 10 review package, and a Socials essay, both due tomorrow! YIKES! Oh, and I forgot to mention, I've also got Earth Science online, which is an ongoing, horrible course. It's just so dry, and I have no interest in it...! Anyways, enough complaining. I really like my teachers! So hopefully they get me through the semester with what's left of my sanity.
I've got to go to bed- school starts at 8:00! =)

God bless,
Sarah

Good-Bye, Semester 1!!

Hey everyone!

Semester 1 is OVER! Well, I have to do my Math 10 provincial still, but other than that, I have this coming week off (to study)! I will definitely be doing some relaxing too, though. This semester, I had Honours English 11, Math 10, Concert Choir, and Vocal Jazz. Next semester, I have Math 11, Socials 11, Drama 11, Concert Choir, and Vocal Jazz. Since this is really my first year at my school, I don't really know many of the teachers there, so I have no idea what my Math and Socials teachers are going to be like. I hope they're nice!
Today was a good day. =)  We didn't do much of anything in class since it's the last day, and Justin came over after, so I had a really great day!
Hope everyone is having a good night!

God bless,
Sarah

Exhilaration! Celebratory Finale

So, my concert was last night! You know, the one with the Elektra Women's Choir, the Mira program I was in? Well, it went great! I made it through all 10 songs, which were in English, Latin, Croatian, Serbian, and Japanese! The other choirs that sang with us were the Balkan Babes from Victoria, Brilliant Harmony from Tokyo, and WWU Women's Chorale from Bellingham. They were all SO amazing!! And I loved their conductors too! Ko from Tokyo was SO funny!!!! Our conductors are great too! :)

Has anyone reading this ever been to Christ Church Cathedral? If you haven't, check out the pictures below. Anyways, when you're not singing, you have to sit in the pews and the chairs that were set up behind the stage, so depending on the size of the choir, you may or may not be seen.

This is the front of the church, including the stage.

Anyways... when the Balkan Babes were singing one of their songs... well... I fell asleep. Ok, I know that sounds bad, but it wasn't because their singing was horrible or something!! In fact, they were AMAZING! But, the music they sing is so hypnotic... it's all in different languages, with lots of little trills and stuff... it's hard to explain, but I promise, it wasn't anything to do with their voices! Plus, I was REALLY tired, and sick too. So that's why. But I just had to share this story, because I found it funny. :)
When I was asleep, I had a dream that me and my friend Rachelle (my friend who was sitting next to me) were on Broadway, preforming Hairspray... she was Tracy, and I think I might have been Penny... weird, huh?!?

Anyways, my whole Mira experience was AWESOME, and I feel so incredibly lucky and blessed to have been able to be a part of something so exciting, fun, and wonderful. I can't wait to do it again next year!! I wonder if I can request to get the same mentor... all of us Mira girls were assigned mentors from Elektra to help us and make us feel really welcome. My mentor's name is CLee (pronounced See-Lee), and she was just great! I would LOVE to get her again next year!! I already miss her! I wanted to cry wen I was saying goodbye. And I miss Kate... and Nancy... and Grace... oh, I miss them all!! =(
I miss the Mira girls too! But, at least, I think they all have Facebook. ;) I actually gave up Facebook for lent, but when that's over, I'll add them!

Here are the only pictures that turned out: (courtesy of my little sister, the photographer) =P
In her defense though, you couldn't use a flash.

You can't actually see me, but I'm somewhere on the left (when you're looking at it)

And this is me with my 2 friends that did the Mira program with me! Love you guys!

Anyways, that's all I have to say!

God bless!

I'm Losing it.

I'm losing it.
Really losing it.
Seriously.
Omigoodness, I can’t even believe it!
School.
Theatre.
Choir.
Other choir.
Babysitting.
Church.
Worship team.
Youth group(s).
It’s all just too much.
I don’t know my lyrics because I was doing schoolwork.
I get my schoolwork in late because I was learning lyrics.
Is that some kind of a bad joke??
If you see me and I’m a bit loopy, now you know why.
If you’ll excuse me, I must get back to my Science.
