why the f*** does this keep happening to me

for the past few months, i have been entirely flustered by debussy’s ballade. for some reason, this piece (as therapeutic as it sounds) was causing me so much anguish. i know what it’s supposed to sound like, yet my hands were simply not cooperating! [and for all of you who ask me why i continue to take piano lessons FOR A GRADE on top of nursing school...it's because i thought that music therapy would ease the stress] …well, i thought wrong. it is very unfortunate to not have enough time to practice because not practicing = you suck. anyhow, today of all days…i sat down after not having time to practice for a whole week..again.. and as Emeril would say, “BAM!” it all came together! after 2 agonizing months, i can now play the piece completely through. i’m not exactly sure what happened but i have finally rekindled my relationship with debussy. my world is at peace now.

thomas: you know what you should learn to make?

me: what?

thomas: manwiches!

me: wait, i can’t do that

thomas: why not?

me: because isn’t a manwich when two guys sandwich someone in between them?

thomas: no! manwich as in sloppy joes!

me: oh…

yeah, i think i’m getting burned out. it’s skewing my thought process. smrt = me

it is currently 3:00am and i am in a really whimsical mood. jason mraz’s ‘i’m yours’ is on repeat and i cannot seem to stop smiling. brink of insanity? i think so..

i’m so proud of myself. i’ve been trying to cut back on unnecessary expenditures (and spending in general) to save for my snowboarding trip as well as holiday gifts…and unlike most days, i resisted the urge to spend with complete ease! i tend to spend a lot on eating out and impulse buys. for instance, today..i was craving a chik-fil-a salad ($5.29 without tax) and saw a really awesome boondock saints tshirt from hot topic ($23). i resisted temptation and purchased neither. woohoo!

gotta keep this up for another couple of months =(

ps – gas is $2.99! excitement!

this week has been sheer madness. both school and my personal life have been robbing me of my much needed sleep. adjkfl;adjfkldajfkladjfkljkl. i am so behind on my piano piece as well.

RANDOM – i wear scarves to work.

please excuse how wrinkled they are. they’re in order from oldest to current (left-right).

i miss so many things right now. i’m not sure if it’s because i’m completely delirious right now or what..but i would love to rewind back to this:

such great memories.

oh, here’s a good read. gotta love oprah. Besides sex — other reasons why men cheat

sigh. back to bed, it’s getting rather cold again. fevers ftl.
