So what have I been doing...well I sung and played with my percussion class at our schools Holiday Notes concert. The concert itself was good but my performance was certainly NOT a highlight. And yes yes I know thats what they all say but honestly...it was shameful. I was silly and went with a song our choir accompanist chose for me. I really liked the song but it was way out of my range and I could not get hang of the breathing. I think I sung better at my grade 5 talent contest. The start and the end of the song went rather well but the middle...oh the middle... I sounded somewhat like a shrieking harpy. Imagine a shrieking harpy ’singing’ the words THE JOY THE JOY THE JOY. Not very bloody joyful if you ask me. I wanted to rip my own ears off and it was coming out of MY mouth. BUT I’m putting it behind me, moving on, bouncing back and all that crap. It’s over now. Thank Oprah.
Moving on from my humiliation...
American Christmas was a blast. The day before Christmas eve, the family and I headed up to Kearney to the Ramada Hotel where we met up with Lisa’s entire family. Lisa is my host mum for those of you that don’t know. We had a wild night. Presents, food, games, the whole lot. Things got kinda crazy...ANYWAY. I’ll have to explain in person. There are things that I might get in trouble for posting.
Christmas eve was spent at Jeff’s parents house. We opened a few presents, took a few photos which I don’t think exist anymore, and we made some general chit chat. Lovely christmas. Having presents 4 days in a row was pretty flippin sweet. I say 4 days because on Christmas day we got prezzies from ‘Santa’ and on boxing day we exchanged all the gifts from each other! It was wonderful. My host family rules. Sadly, I did not get the white christmas I’d hoped for. I mean there was snow around....but it was all patchy and depressing. In fact, it was a little bit shit. Poor form snow. Get your act together.
I’m so ready for my 6 week break now. Sadly it’s only 2 weeks because America is crazy town. Right now it’s new years eve and my boy Adam decided to bugger off to New York and leave me in the pathetic snow in Nebraksa to run suicides with coach Ball Buster at 8 in the morning. Thanks pal. Times square is poo anyway! I didn’t even wanna go..so you can just....GET MUGGED! Ha! :D :D :D
I found some Christmas time photos!! I’m sick of talking to you people. All our conversations seems so one sided. Some participation would be nice. Gosh.
