all in a day's work?

ok so today was one of those days where i felt like i was constantly on the move and felt more like three days rolled into one...here is my day in a nutshell

it all started at 3:30AM when i got an idea and started choreographing my solo...by 4AM i was done with about a minute but had trouble sleeping after that...

6:30 i get up to my alarm and start to get ready for school

i get out the door at about 7:35 (a bit late for me) and start to warm up my car while cleaning it off...it took FOREVER for my car to warm up thereby making me 20!!!! (yes TWENTY) minutes late to my 8 am class...NEVER a good way to start the day!

when i got to school its easy to say i was just a tad miffed at the fact that only about a 1/5 of the school showed up mainly due to the fact that no one wanted to come into school today and i think most of us felt we deserved a snow day (especially since hte rest of the school around here got one!) so my classes were unreasonably small and my teachers were frustrated that there were so few of us.

i had a showing today of my choreography which didnt go all that well...i didnt crash and burn but it sure wasnt smooth sailing. it also didnt help to have at least two different people continually saying in my ear how bad they were going to do and how awful the whole thing was...gotta love how dern catchy negativity is...i managed to not be affected by it but not by much.

once the showing was over i stopped by work to pick up my pay check and wait for a pizza to take home. (felt like the pizza took forever but it was mainly due to the fact that i was starving...you see in my rush to get to school i didnt get breakfast)

finally got home and then once done eating left to go pay a visit to a birthday boy...happy birthday Sam! and then stopped at the grocery store for hot chocolate before heading to the annual Elf party. watched the movie Elf and enjoyed getting to see so many friends. i actually got a backrub and then someone played with my hair and literally almost put me to sleep...thanks caley! (i SOOOO needed that relaxation!)

while socializing after the movie was over a friend who had just left came back bearing a little dog who was cute as can be but had obviously been outside for quite sometime...the poor thing was soooo matted! it was matted so much so that my friends and i ended up shearing the little thing...yes that is right we sheared a dog with scissors and while it looked so much better it was definatley a butcher job and the fur is all kinds of lengths...we were just happy to get rid of its matted shell...quite simply the dog's coat was like thick heavy lambswool...it was just horriffic especially since once it had its new hair cut not only did the pup bounce around and do leaps of joy that it could feel the warm air again but it also lost like a good inch at least around from the shell it had created...oh yeah and i forgot to mention how stinky the dog was as well as the fact that its coat was so icky it was making everyone sneeze and or have allergy problems because of it. so yeah at 1AM the dog was finally getting shampooed in order to smell better and us weary make-shift dog groomers were heading home.

yeah im tired and weary and on top of all of this action i had a fun day full of me with plenty of random times to sit and think about some things...so yeah it was a full full day but all in all it was a good one spent with many many friends...such an insane blessing! love you all but ive gotta get to bed!
