It's the most horrible time of the year...
Mischievous Still - Jennifer Lopez

Well, even the best days can get even better but let me fill you in on what's been going on, lately... November passed pretty quietly with the same old argumens with my parents and the frequent outings with Collin. My schoolwork improved but it still wasn't enough to give me all As. Oh well... That's life! December was very hectic with dress rehearsals and concerts the first week, smaller concerts in singer council for various people, and rehearsals for our last concert in Summit of the year. Everything is so fun and colorful this time of year. You get closer to the people you never knew very well and you learn a lot about yourself (and your wallet). lolz... I know that I've learned a ton. I guess a lightbulb just lit in my mind when my grades started to slip and people started to increase the hate and warfare in my school life. Gosh... I guess we never know when to let it all rest. Jon and I are still at odds. he won't talk to me except to say 'excuse me' or 'thanks.' I guess that's an improvement. Ah well... You can't have everything you want! Now, on to Christmas shopping. Mom, Cyndi, and I went shopping twice for gifts. The first time we picked up the majority of things we needed (i.e. picture frames, CDs, clothes, cards, wrapping paper, bags, tissue paper, food, etc.). The second time I had to go shopping for Collin because I forgot to shop for him the first time. I know, that's hard to imagine but... I guess I'm a little forgetful when I'm under pressure or something... lol. ;) I guess I can redeem myself in time. During all of this, I still had time to buy myself this really nice, soft, white sweater that comes with a really neat scarf that matches the sweater wonderfull. I love it. It feels like this stuffed teddy bear I got for Valentine's Day two years ago from Morgan. It's awesome!
