My apologies for taking so long to post once again. I really don't know what is up with me. I am busy trying to finish school, which ends tomorrow. Plus, I have to go pick 80 lbs. of cherries for a lady. I don't know if we even have that many. I hope we have something relatively close to that.
So, let's see. Yesterday was church, and it was wonderful. I played during offertory, and I was scared to death. Though I knew Day by Day extremely well, that didn't make me any less nervous. Every time I lifted the pedal, I could feel my feet just shaking. I am sure if people could see my feet, they would have picked up on it. Anyway, it went pretty well, and for that I am pleased. I just don't like being the center of attention. I want people to be focusing on the Lord, and not on me. That's why I play anyway; it is for his glory, and his alone. And when I play, I feel that that isn't everyone's focus. Oh well, I prayed just before I went up for his strength and his ability, and he answered that prayer.
I went to the music store on Friday and bought 20 dollars worth of music. I wound up updating my version of Pachabel's Canon in D to a harder one, an easy to play, but still difficult, Moonlight Sonata, the music, As Time Goes By, which is from the movie, Casablanca, and then the entire music from the movie, A Man From Snowy River. Whew! I have a lot to keep me busy. Garrett wanted me to get the music for Pirates of the Carribean, but I didn't right now. The music, I must admit though, is so good. Don't worry, it's not secular lyrics; it's all instrumental. I can just picture sword fights and everything. It really is some fine work. Who knows, I might wind up getting it one day. However, I think I have more than enough to keep myself occupied; I still have my pieces for lessons to continue practicing anyway.
I am going to have a marathon two days if I want to be entirely done with school. That, again, means a lot of history. I also have two research papers that need done. I will be ready to be done with those for the year. I feel as if I have done enough to last all of next school year. It is hard to believe, though, that I will be a junior next year. Wow!
So, I am going to have a marathon days of school, but I will be crazy busy the rest of the week too. Wednesday, I get to go to Roaring Springs with Brianne and Hannah. I can't wait! That will be so much fun!!! Thursday, I have my get together with Meghann, Ashley, and Ivy, all of whom it will be nice to see. Friday, we will be preparing the camper and packing to leave, which we will do bright and early Saturday morning. I guarantee that I will probably fall asleep in the car on the way up to Montana;)
Well, I am not a hundred percent sure of what else I have to say. I need to go get this cherry order done before it gets super hot. I need to finish school. I probably need to practice the piano, even though I am not have lessons right now. I don't know what else. So, I will close, but I promise that I will definitely post again before I go. It might only be on Friday, but I am positive you will get that. But, you might be in for a surprise. Wouldn't be something if I posted everyday until I left?! That would be a sight to see:)

I no longer want you to learn Pirates. I have the soundrack on the computer so I'll listen to it that way. I'm actually listening right now.
Ok... I think the soundtrack would sound nicer anyway. you get all of the instruments.
Oh, do you ever comment about anything else besides movies and your nameless friends:)
You played beautifully!! And, although I knew you were nervous, it didn't come across in your playing. Thanks for choosing one of my favorite hymns.
I didn't have the time to read your whole long post. Hence I decided to just comment about the first thing that came up.
Yeah, but I bet you were glad it was about Pirates!
I am glad that you liked my choice for Sunday. I think you influenced that:)
