Yay for finding family!!  I'm really glad you've found a happy family to be a part of.  Everyone really needs that, even if they don't think so or realize it yet. 

Next order of business for me is this stupid music history paper.  no other class has had a paper that was this long.  every other year their paper was 10 pages long tops.  and everyone who had the last teacher passed at least.  we're like, all failing.  so now this paper has to be perfect, and so does the final, or else we all have to take music history 1 over again.  and i definately don't want that to happen.  i don't think anyone does.  it's bad enough we have to take music history 2.  it's amazingly frustrating.  like, i'm working on it, but i have to have a 15 page paper done by midnight on Dec. 11.  and my flute jury is on the 15th.  this is gonna suck.  oh well.  at least i've started it.  i have an outline and whatnot.  but i changed my topic, so now i need different sources, so i have to go back to the library, and some of my online sources can only be accessed from school, so i can't get them right now, so that makes it harder because i can't actually get anything done right now.  *pant pant*

i hate this class.
