Now, I Long For Summer

It's that time of year again. The time of year when I'm sick of being cold, I'm tired of school, and would just like winter to hurry up and end already.

Of course, I'd like the snow to stick around (at least up north) for another week for our annual skiing trip to Saddleback, (YAY!!!), and it would be nice if it was snowy on my birthday, the 28th, but after that? 

The snow can go and leave, and time needs to skip to April vacation, so there's not a lot of school left.

And it's warm for once.

Another thing that's made me wish for summer is that yesterday, Pilgrim Lodge signups opened, and naturally I pestered my parents into signing me up last night. 

This makes me long for summer even more.

So basically, I want to be here next week:

And then immediately after....I'd like to be here:

Oh Please...

Goodness gracious I need a break. No, not from blogger, I just got off that break, but a break from the regular, tiring, day to day work. 

Thankfully, February vacation is fast approaching.

Unfortunately, Friday at 1:50pm can NOT come soon enough.

I need a break from getting up at five-thirty.

I need some just easy relaxing time- my last three weekends can't even be considered weekends.

I need a week without bio homework.

A week without getting yelled at in band.

A week without taking notes in history.

A week without gym torture.

A week without the english class that makes me want to rip my hair out.

A week without passé composé in french.

A week without tedious geometry proofs.

Yes, I could really use a week off.

I need a week filled with skiing up at Saddleback,

spending the day, carving up the slopes,

taking stunning pictures from the top,

drinking hot chocolate by a huge fireplace,

conquering the awesome terrain park,

doing moguls with XanFan and his friend.

And the nights, spent in comfy sweatpants and cozy shirts,

eating hot pasta and pizza at a local restaurant,

doing some arranging on my laptop,

playing board games with the family.

And the weekends filled with friends,

and no homework to be done,

maybe hanging with Hannah Marie and our friend Serena this weekend,

before heading up north, and when we return,

a couple of fun-filled days before we return to school,

on my 15th birthday.

Oh, how I wish it was Friday, instead of only Tuesday!

Oh how I long for vacation!

OK....Now what?

'tomorrow we'll discover what our god in heaven has in store. one more dawn, one more day, one day more!' ~ one day more (les misérables)

Over the past month, my life had been totally consumed with the production of Les Misérables. But last night was our final show, last night we cleaned up and packed away the pit, last night we tore down the set, last night we partied for the last time.

But this whole experience has just been SO incredibly amazing for me. It was awesome playing each show, hitting all those stratospherically high notes every time, and getting to watch the whole show. Now, I just can't wait to get my DVD!
I must say, it was very sad, so much that by the end most of the cast and pit were crying as everyone was dead.
I REALLY wish that I could upload a video from youtube that shows several clips from the show so you could see it. Unfortunately, it has the name of my high school at the end and i don't know how to blur it out. Grrrr.

But this now brings me to a weird place. You see, from August through October marching band ruled my life. From the end of November to now, musical did.

Now I'm not quite sure what to DO with myself....
One thing I know I'm going to be doing is get back to blogging! I missed you guys but I needed the break during the craziness of Les Mis was over.

I'm pretty sure that's all I wanted to say on that...LOL.
