Countdown to SING: 8 days!

     "All you need to know is we are monkeys and monkeys do drugs" - Dr. Patton
                              (too bad that wasn't a test question...)
Things you shouldn't name your kid:
Kudakwashe
Adeola 
Seriously how do people come up with these names? Do they just point to random letters on a page and put them in that order. 
 
     That's right, we're in the final week of practice! Yikes! The first SING performance is next Thursday night, which is crazy, but honestly I can't wait for it to be over. I love SING but it will be really nice to have my life back. These next few weeks (well and this one) are going to kick my butt. I'm so glad it will be spring break when everything is over. Had my first Drugs and Behavior test today, History of psychology was Monday, and psychopathology was last week. So far all tests have been ok, I mean not easy or anything but not totally awful. Drugs and Behavior was definitely the hardest.
     This has been my first week really doing something with the horses at WCY. I learned how to do vitals yesterday. So we did heart rate, respiration, temperature, weight, etc. Then we groomed because it's been so muddy and rainy all the horses are covered in mud. Today I'm helping in the class, I'm not sure what we're doing exactly hopefully the weather will be ok and we can be outside.
     Jasper had a scary experience this week. Somehow he ended up locked outside. No one is really sure when he went out or for how long but Emily found him after SING practice one night. He was outside shaking and totally freaked out and wet from the rain. Poor baby. He also made a new friend over the last week. Who left for basic training for the army yesterday. Sorry Jasper the only guy you've truly ever been nice to can't hang out with you anymore lol. It's ok he still have Emily and Me. He's been going nuts for attention the last few days. I don't even know if he's slapped anyone!
     Saw a fight at the movie theater this weekend. We went to see An Education, which was fantastic by the way, and saw a fight in the parking lot after the movie. It was the lamest/funniest thing ever. About 15 middle school thugs were running around chasing each other and yelling and talking big to each other and one got knocked out. On the ground, didn't get up, punched in the stomach. It was pretty entertaining, and the kids continued to act like idiots until security came out and they all ran away. They then proceeded to walk around on Franklin probably stirring up trouble. Gotta love them Waco kids!
     It's always nice when you discover a pretty side of Waco. Today while in search of a new remote at Grande I drove through these gorgeous old neighborhoods near the lake. It's like a totally different world! I would voluntarily live in those neighborhoods. And of course own a boat so I could go to the lake and sing about being on a boat!
     EDIT
It snowed today. We still had class and it spent the entire day raining and as we are walking into audio tech there was freezing rain and when we came out there was snow and slush everywhere. It's currently raining so I missed out on the actual snow part of the snow. So basically the snow was useless and miserable. I just want it to be warm! I did however make a snowball and then a small snowman on Emily's car.

And a fantastic email I received today:
    A Lay-off letter from an excellent boss.

 
     Dear Employees:

      As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.
      To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead.
      This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go.
      So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Obama' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.  I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem.They voted for change......
I gave it to them.
     I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

      THE BOSS*
