Anniversary, Money, and Valley Scare

First order of business. It was me and Crystal's 6 month anniversary on Friday! These have been the happiest, most hilarious days I've ever had, and I know there are many more to come. We are really in love and I feel so wonderfully blessed to have someone special like her in my life, as my best friend and love.

Money is kind of tight right now. In order to not be completely broke, I withdrew $500 from my online poker account. Seriously if I didn't have that as a nice side income, I'd be just.....drowning in lack of money. In fact, I'm currently writing a song based on that idea. But no matter. I've been in spots worse than this before and I've made it through, if only because of my belief that in pursuing the path I was created for, God will supply my every need, even when on the outside it doesn't look so good.

Valley Scare starts this week! I'm pretty excited (for having the fun of doing it and the fun of having some extra money coming in) but also slightly nervous. This is something I've never done before and to be honest, I'm slightly afraid of screwing up or not being scary or I dunno. Call it stage fright. :) But I know it will be a good time.

That's all for now!

I'm blogging now I guess.

So here I am. Found my way into the world of blogging. I have another blog, just for the goings on of my poker 'career' but I rarely update it. So hopefully an all-encompassing life blog will be updated more frequently with more things to say.

I just started in my first vocal ensemble ever, World Vocal Ensemble, and the songs will be quite challenging but very fun. I'm pretty excited to hear them all together as a group.

My senior recital is coming up (which I have yet to get off my ass and schedule). I have to finish my string quartet. And find players. I want a solid 2 months of rehearsal for that, cuz I want it to sound really really good.

I figured out I can probably get the extra $1k bonus playing poker this month. It will be close but I think it'll be worth it if I can push myself to put in that kind of time. Plus, I really need the money. =)

Also I really hope my boss gets the job she applied for. That means her spot opens up and I might have a decent shot at securing it as a full time day job when I graduate in a few months. That would be like.....a million pounds of stress off my shoulders, having guaranteed money and being able to pay bills. Cuz you know....once I'm not a student, I no longer get to be a student worker.....

Looking forward to Valley Scare too! I basically have the best costume ever. It will be fun, as well as extra money.

It was Crystal's birthday yesterday. She had a shared party on Friday, it was a lot of fun but I was super tired. She ended up getting kind of sick yesterday, so we didn't really do much, but tonight we had italian at Danielle's place. Crystal is just really...great. =)

Anyways.....here I am...in the world of blogging. Back to homework!
