Ding ding- time for a new xanga entry!

Xanga is so old fashioned.  haha!!  Well, I'll admit I'm kind of on here by default because I chose to go off facebook for lent.  Bahaha.  I think I'm defeating the purpose of being off facebook.  Meh.

SPRING BREAK STARTS TOMORROW!!!!!!  Okay, the whole concept of "Spring Break" is very much new to me.  I was homeschooled, as you all know.  And my mother was one of those hardcore homeschool mothers.  "No break EVER!  Only for Christmas!!!"  Thus, we toiled an labored all year long.

Now that I'm in college, we actually get breaks.  Whoever heard of fall break?  St. Olaf has one.  A whole 6 days for Thanksgiving break?  AMAZING TO THE MAX.  And now, I have spring break, closely followed by easter break.  It's heaven.  It contrasts well with the hell that St. Olaf homework can be, so it works out nicely. 

Anyways.  Well, I won't have all of spring break to sit around and watch X-men and eat bonbons or whatever.  My anthropology prof decided to assign us all a 7 page paper about the country of Togo, due April 2nd.  RAR.  I didn't even know there was a country named Togo.  Well, there is one.  And I have to write a 7 page paper about it.  Not to mention a research paper and a composition to write for music theory.

Gah.  Maybe this break won't be so "breaky" after all.    Crap.

Oh well.  Such is college life.  Highschoolers, for the love of all that is good and pleasant in this world, SLACK OFF WHILE YOU CAN.  That is my very mature advice for you all.  Take advantage of your highschool teachers, skip class, play hooky, arrive late, don't do ANY homework, and fail those exams!!  Because you'll never get the chance to do it again.  Well, I take that back.  You will get to chance, but you'd better not take it once you have the omnipresent professors breathing down your neck.  And you can take that to the bank.  Amen and Amen.

Alrighty.  This was a really odd post.  haha.  Very sarcastic.  It is 1 in the morning, so I suppose I can be cynical this time of night.  Goodbye for now!

Yours, Anna and The Homework

Well, since I still get those blessed "Xanga Subscription" emails, I figured I'd better give you all an update with my life.  haha.  Gosh, has it really been 3 months since I last posted???

I'm a freshman at St. Olaf.  And yes, it's freshMAN not first-year or fresh-woman or whatever.  Our campus is so feminist sometimes, it's quite scary. 

I'm majoring in violin performance, which I just loooove!  Violin is amazing.  I feel so at home here- i love practicing, and I love my teacher, Ray.  He's superduper.    Seriously, my favorite part of the day here (besides friends and food duh) is practicing.  I love the feeling of improving and fixing problems in my pieces.  I love performing.  I love orchestra.  I love SMA!!! (my conductor)  I love my ear training class.  I love piano class.  I DESPISE music theory, but oh well.  I only have two years of it.  I shall conquer it.  muahahaha.  In fact, I'm pretty much writing this entry to procrastinate doing my theory homework.  *sheepish laugh*

I am still single.  I figured all of you xangalians would like to know, seeing as I haven't posted since thanksgiving.  I do have crush on this guy, but meh.  Nothing's come of it yet....  And pretty much the only reasons I like him is because he plays cello (the sexiest instrument ever!!  YES), he has brown curly hair, and he's the polar opposite of me.

Anyways.  I've also found an amazing church down here.  It's called "Rejoice!" and some of my dorm friends and I go every sunday.  It's just a really fresh place, full of life.  The worship is amazing, and the pastor is really energetic and keeps my attention, which is a grand feat on a Sunday morning.  haha!  I'm also playing violin at a Bible study every tuesday night, so that's fantastic.

Well I have to run.  I hope you enjoyed this quick update!  I think I did.

Okay bye!  love from St. Olaf!

Anna
