<p>I ran home over the weekend to see parentses for birthday stuffs. Went out to sushi with mom, got to see how the new kitchen’s coming along (nice), got a nice present. Today, I drove down to Lakewood to find neither my dad nor Julie home, and I was disappointed, so I went to the bathroom before I was going to take off again, and then they showed up. Dad forgot about my birthday again, but whatever, got a present, comments on my pants, and jokes about the number nineteen.</p>
<p>I brought my mead and acer up here, because I don’t know when I’ll be going back home, and with all of the renovation going on, I don’t know where I’d put it that it wouldn’t somehow be discovered. The trick now is just getting it inside (which I’d like to do soon, to get it out of the cold). I tasted them all, and they’re all really harsh (hot alcohol flavors, and green apple flavors, both of which age out), except for the acer, but I suspect that’s ‘cause it’s not done yet.</p>
<p>This semester, I think, is going to be kinda hard, but lots more fun than the last. I’m so glad I got into the voice studio, ‘cause that seemed to get me into a bunch of other things as well, like my major, the voice department, another studio, and free voice lessons. Of course, that means multiple hours of singing every day, but that should be fun :o)</p>
<p>Concerned about FC06. It’s not during my break, like it was this year, so I’m not sure how I’ll make it. Assuming I get into Uni Singers again and don’t have a sudden, drastic improvement enough to get me into Chamber Singers, I’ll have at least one class on friday and monday, likely more. If that’s it, though, then I can leave thursday night, only miss one day, and get back monday morning on a red-eye in time for choir. A shame that’s the one that didn’t work out, since it got such rave reviews from the nonfurs gang. AC05 is seeming more and more definite as time goes on, as long as I can keep the money I have. I’m sure some of it will go to paying my mom back or making a security deposit on a house, but if I get a job, hopefully that’ll help. Not sure who all I’ll stay with for either con, but I know a bunch of people who are going to both and who will destroy me if I don’t go to either, so.. yeah. Darkwolf’s gonna be mad :o</p>
